This is a Go REST API that implements the "Guesser Game" functionality.
This is a learning project, I'm using this to get myself comfortable with the Go language, understanding its syntax and how to properly setup and develop a project with it
The Guesser games goes as it follows
-
Someone creates a new secret, by sending a word to the service and not telling it to anyone 🤫
-
Other folks can then try to guess what the secret is by sending guesses requests to the API 🤔
-
Whoever guess the word correctly first will be stored as the correct guesser for that secret 🎉
In order to run this service you'll need Go installed. After this then run:
cd server
cp .env.example .env
go install
go run .
With this you should have the application running with the memory store at the address http://0.0.0.0:8080. You can then verify that it's running correctly by using:
$ curl http://0.0.0.0:8080/health
{"status":"pass","healthy":true}
You can check
| Name | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SERVER_PORT | Which port the application will run on | 8080 |
| DATA_SOURCE | which store will the application use | must be one of [ memory, postgres] |
| DATABASE_URL | if data source is set as postgres, provide the DB URL |
postgresql://USER:PW@127.0.0.1:5432/DB |
