rest-ws-golang

A RESTful API and WebSocket service built with Go. This project serves as a learning exercise, where I implement various features such as authentication, CRUD operations for posts, and real-time communication using WebSockets.

Technologies

• Validator
• PostgreSQL
• Docker
• JWT
• Mux

Features

• Authentication
• Users's CRUD
• Post's CRUD
• Database integration with PostgreSQL
• User's pagination
• Endpoints validations
• WebSockets

🚀 Getting started

To get started, ensure you have Docker installed. Then, follow these steps to set up the database and run the application:

1. Navigate to the database directory:

cd database

2. Build the PostgreSQL Docker image:

docker build . -t postgres-rest-ws-golang

3. Run the PostgreSQL container:

docker run -p 54321:5432 postgres-rest-ws-golang

4. Return to the project root directory:

cd ..

5. Run the Go application:

go run main.go

Now, you can test the API endpoints using an HTTP client like Postman.
