Welcome to APIExample!

This is an example of how to build a simple CRUD App with Buffalo

The goal

The goal of this project is to try how is to develop web applications with Golang. Also is a simple project to test new frontend frameworks and having a basic API to do basic CRUDs.

Requirements

• Docker.
• Docker-Compose.
• Go (1.10>=).

Starting the Application

First, we need to configure the environment variables. To do so, create a new .env file with the following attributes:

• POSTGRES_USER: The postgresql user that you would like to use (e.g. postgres).
• POSTGRES_PASSWORD: The postgresql password that you would like to use (e.g. postgres).

Then, the first step is to create the database and run the application:

• Run docker-compose run web buffalo db create: it will build everything and will create the database. You can also use make create.
• Run docker-compose up to start the application. You can also use make up

Extras

Feel free to fork and add new features to this application. If you want to test the application you can just type:

• docker-compose run web buffalo test

If you want to add more resources, actions, endpoints, etc. you can go to the main Buffalo page and look at the docs
