This REST API is built using Go with no external web frameworks and provides endpoints for managing users. It uses the advanced routing features from the 1.22 update for the net/http package and sqlc to interact with a PostgreSQL database.
This project was developed as part of my university coursework on service-oriented architecture and microservice design, initially implemented in Python using Flask, but subsequently rewritten in Go to showcase the versatility and language-agnostic nature of RESTful APIs.
[GET] /users
Retrieves a list of all users.
[GET] /users/{id}
Retrieves a user by ID or email.
[PUT] /users/{id}
Updates a user by ID.
[DELETE] /users/{id}
Deletes a user by ID.
[POST] /users
Creates a new user.
The request body for PUT /users/{id} and POST /users should be a JSON object with the following properties:
- name: string
- email: string
- phone_number: string
- user_type: string
- address: string
- Response Body
The response body for [GET] /users and [GET] /users/{id} will be a JSON array or object with the following properties:
- id: int
- name: string
- email: string
- phone_number: string
- user_type: string
- address: string
If an error occurs, the API will return a JSON error response with a 400 or 500 status code. The error response will contain a message with the error details.
The API uses a PostgreSQL database to store user data. The database connection is established using the DATABASE_URI environment variable.
