Rentals
This repo contains the source for a Rentals API.
Implementation
Welcome! the implementation is mainly based on 2 libraries:
- Chi - Http Router
- Gorm - DB ORM
Building on those, it mainly was around managing query params, potential points of errors, DB Query, Query Param Validation, Pagination and more. I've got to say, touching go again for the first time in a while is very refreshing. Go literally gets out of the way and isn't too noisy or complainy about how you do much of anything.
A few notes
Hi! A few things to keep in mind:
-
I haven't written Go in a few years, so if there is any moments of "This piece of code doesn't seem to follow go convention/style" that is why.
-
I'm very familiar with unit testing, and blackbox testing API's (I've had to write these quite often at work). However, I did not write any tests because today, I happened to have had a pretty shit day, and didn't feel up to googling go api testing best practices and then reading documentation.(I currently write mostly Rust and Node/Deno server-side code)
-
I know the two items above aren't ideal, and I apologize about that. I hope that doesn't have an outsized impact on this opportunity, and if it does, I understand.
Instructions
To run the project run:
docker compose upPotential Docker Warning/Error
-
If you get an error about the platform, update the platform in
docker-compose.ymlto that of your OS, I had to specify the platform b/c I'm running this on a macOS M1, and docker was complaining. -
After you run the command, please wait for the
appservice to get to a healthy state, it will fail and restart, until postgres is ready to take on connections.
