Implements a basic REST Web-service for validating IBAN account numbers in GO. Uses the logic from http://github.com/fourcube/goiban. Deployed at http://openiban.com .

Running the service

Via go get:

$ go get -u github.com/fourcube/goiban-service
# Launch the service listening on port 8080 and serve static content
$ $GOPATH/bin/goiban-service -p 8080 -w 

Download a binary package:

A list of all releases is available here.

# Make sure to choose the correct operating system and architecture
$ curl -Lo goiban-service.tar.gz "https://github.com/fourcube/goiban-service/releases/download/v1.0.0/goiban-service-linux-386.tar.gz"
$ tar -xzf goiban-service.tar.gz
$ cd goiban-service
# Launch the service listening on port 8080, using the bank data from ./data and serving
# the web interface from ./static
$ ./goiban-service -dataPath ./data -staticPath ./static -p 8080 -w

Via Docker

https://hub.docker.com/r/fourcube/openiban/


$ docker run --name openiban -d -p8080:8080 fourcube/openiban
$ curl localhost:8080/validate/DE89370400440532013000

You will see something like:

{
  "valid": true,
  "messages": [],
  "iban": "DE89370400440532013000",
  "bankData": {
    "bankCode": "",
    "name": ""
  },
  "checkResults": {}
}

Building the service (MySQL)

You have to install go >= 1.8, setup your GOPATH and install a MySQL server. Goiban requires a database called 'goiban'. The following commands assume a MySQL database running on localhost:3306 with database goiban and user root with password root.

$ go get -u github.com/fourcube/goiban-data-loader
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fourcube/goiban-data-loader
$ DATABASE_URL="root:root@tcp(localhost:3306)/goiban?charset=utf8" make migrate

# load data
$ go build
$ ./goiban-data-loader bundesbank root:root@/goiban?charset=utf8

$ go get github.com/fourcube/goiban-service
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/fourcube/goiban-service
$ go build
$ ./goiban-service -p 8080 -dbURL root:root@/goiban?charset=utf8

To create a build without the metrics support (e.g if you run on go < 1.8) run:

$ go build -tags no_metrics

MySQL development instance

To quickly run a MySQL database inside a docker container you can use the following command:

docker run -d --name openiban-mysql -p3306:3306 -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=root -e MYSQL_DATABASE=goiban mysql
