GO API

• For this API I've used mongodb, this is a test api that implements updates, lists and removes of mongodb files within a collection
• This Project can be build by first running go mod init
• After that you can run go build -o binary_name main
• This API uses the official mongodb driver since mgo has been out of maintenance for some time now

Explanation of the Files

• main.go -> main.go only contains the initialization of the http server and the instantiation of a router
• routes.go -> routes.go contains the static routes for the API with its structs as well as a function that creates the routes based on an array
• movie.go -> movie.go only contains the creation of the necessary structs for the type movie
• actions.go -> actions.go is the file that contains all the logic for the API and the file that makes the interaction with mongodb possible

Usage

The usage of this API in my case was just for testing and fun

There will probably be an update where I containerize the application as well as I will run snyk to check if the API/container image has some known vulnerabilities.

I will also push a folder with the necessary tests to check the functionality of the application and a Jenkins file, in my case to update/remove content. I've used Postman which was extremely helpful to do some manual testing.

Tools I've used

• vscode with the golang extension
• Postman
• mongodb
• Studio 3T for mongodb (this last one is to be able to manage the collections in a visual way)
• docker
• docker-compose

Images I've used

• golang:1.13-alpine3.11
• alpine:3.16
• bitnami/mongodb:latest

TODO

• Create Jenkinsfile to build the image
• Create unit tests
