go-meetup

This is the result of a live-coding at a private meetup. The application uses the Rick and Morty API to retriev a number of random characters.
To try it out, start the application (startup.sh) and run http://localhost:8080/random-characters and pass the query parameter count to specify the number of characters (1 - 50).
Or use user docker build -t rick-and-morty:1 . to create a docker image and then docker run --name rick-and-morty -p 8080:8080 rick-and-morty:1 to start a container.

The application uses the following features:

  • HTTP handlers
  • Middleware functions
  • HTML templates
  • Channels
  • Structured logging
