Welcome to Weber!

This is the home of the backend code for our seed application!

Requirements

Go v1.18

Database Setup

The database should be hosted locally on a POSTGRES server, ideally on an empty database, running the server will automatically populate the database.

1. Install Postgres locally
2. Create a local database in your postgres server
3. Create a .env file in your local root folder and paste the connection string of the created database inside variable 'DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING'. eg: DATABASE_CONNECTION_STRING='postgres://<username>:<pwd>@localhost:5432'
4. Follow the next steps to run locally.

Steps to run locally

1. Run go run .
2. Server runs at http://localhost:9000/
3. Refer to the API Documentation to use the API.

Testing

Import the Postman collection for the API's from the API_Collection.json file
