Using the API

To use API, clone this repository and follow one of two methods shown below:

Using Your Local Machine

  1. Install Go
  2. Install Postgres DB
  3. Create a database named evolve-credit.
  4. Install all dependencies using:
go mod tidy
  1. Run the application using:
1. Using `modd`

Setting Environmental Variables

An environment variable is a text file containing KEY=value pairs of your secret keys and other private information. For security purposes, it is ignored using .gitignore and not committed with the rest of your codebase.

To create, ensure you are in the root directory of the project then on your terminal type:

touch .env

All the variables used within the project can now be added within the .env file in the following format:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_USER=postgres
DB_NAME=evolve-credit
DB_PASS=********
DB_TIMEZONE=Africa/lagos
DB_MODE=disable
PORT=8080
