Introduction

This repository contains a Go-based API that demonstrates best practices in building RESTful services. The API is designed to be modular, easy to extend, and well-documented, making it an excellent starting point for developers looking to build their own APIs in Go.

Features

• RESTful API: Follows REST principles for clean and predictable endpoints.

• Modular Design: Easy to extend and modify with a well-organized codebase.

• Database Integration: Supports integration with popular databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).

• Authentication: Includes JWT-based authentication for secure access.

• Validation: Input validation to ensure data integrity.

• Logging: Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring.

• Testing: Includes unit tests and integration tests to ensure reliability.

Installation

To get started with this API, follow these steps:

Clone the Repository:

git clone https://github.com/waseemofficial/API-golang.git
cd API-golang

Install Dependencies:

Ensure you have Go installed on your system. Then, install the required dependencies:

   
go mod download

Configure Environment Variables:

Create a .env file in the root directory and set the necessary environment variables. You can use the .env.example file as a template.

Run the Application:

Start the API server by running:

go run main.go

Access the API:

The API should now be running on http://localhost:8080. You can interact with it using tools like Postman or cURL.

Usage

Once the API is up and running, you can start making requests to the available endpoints. Below are some examples of how to use the API:

Example Request: Create a New User

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/users \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "name": "John Doe",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "securepassword123"
}'

Example Request: Authenticate a User

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "password": "securepassword123"
}'

API Endpoints

Here are some of the key endpoints available in this API:

• Users:

  • POST /api/users - Create a new user.

  • GET /api/users/{id} - Get a user by ID.

  • PUT /api/users/{id} - Update a user by ID.

  • DELETE /api/users/{id} - Delete a user by ID.

• Authentication:

  • POST /api/auth/login - Authenticate a user and receive a JWT token.

  • POST /api/auth/register - Register a new user.

• Posts:

  • GET /api/posts - Get all posts.

  • POST /api/posts - Create a new post.

  • GET /api/posts/{id} - Get a post by ID.

  • PUT /api/posts/{id} - Update a post by ID.

  • DELETE /api/posts/{id} - Delete a post by ID.

For a complete list of endpoints and their details, refer to the API Documentation.
