A Social Media for Devs - API (Golang practice)

Hi there. Welcome to my profile!

My current tech stack, in case you are wondering

devbook_api's Issues

Include Unit tests

Enable this project to be more consistent and reliable by making unit tests.

API server

Research out there (documentation, forums) if the ListenAndServe function from the http package is actually ideal for production use cases or if it's only suitable for development purposes.

If the latter is the case, implement a better way of serving the API (Nginx for instance).

CI pipeline

Implement a CI pipeline responsible for the following tasks:

• Trigger a CI pipeline for every commit pushed to the remote repository (decide the best way to handle the deliverables according to the approach being used: Release branches, Trunk Based Development, ... );
• Build a deployable artifact from this repository;
• Run tests;
• Expose the ready artifacts (DockerHUB, release packages, ECR, ...);
• Generate release tags on Github along with the compiled packages;
• Generate CI status flags on Readme.md.

Containerize the API

As a further step for this application, it would be great if it's containerized and suitable for Kubernetes deployment, so it can be easily tested, built, shipped, and deployed.

Make number of Likes limited to user x post relationship

The "LikePost" feature allows a single user to add likes to a single post as much as he pleases, so it requires a more complex structure in order to ensure that a post can only be liked once by a single user.

Suggestion:

• Database: The database requires another table to store Users' foreign keys and Posts' foreign keys in order to create an N x N relationship between Users and Posts (this makes it possible also to add more fancy features like fetching a list of the users that currently like the post);
• Code: Additional logic must be put in place to validate if a given post is already liked by a given user;
• Unlike: Of course the "UnlikePost" feature should have the same approach applied so that a single user isn't able to indefinitely unlike a post.

Disclaimer: it's not flagged as a bug because it was thought to be simple initially but it's a great enhancement suggestion for the future.

User x Likes x Posts relationship

Keep track of users who liked a given post so other features can be implemented such as:

• List of users who like a post;
• Frontend validation improvement when it comes to rendering the "Like" button (Like|Dislike)
