Baby's first Go and React project

roll-tech

Baby's first Go and boostrap project. I was hoping to crank this out in a day but that never happened.

server

A really simple REST API that allows for creating and reading contact details.

Endpoints

• POST /alumni: Create an alumn
• GET /alumni/{id}: Get alumn with id

Running the thing

This relies on some environment variables being set to define the db connection details:

(source $path_to_secrets && go run server/*.go)

app

Can hardly pass for an app but it's a simple static html page that uses some mixture of bootstrap, custom css, and jquery to hit the above api to save data. It's severely lacking in robustness but think it's a good place to start from.

Running the thing

Navigate to app/index.html and things should just load. You can mess around and input some data that'll hit the aforementioned api.

TODO

• document the thing
• add authentication to get requests -- we shouldn't expose this data to the public
• bootstrap scripts to setup GOPATH and what-not
