This is a simple example of writing an API in Go. I'm using this project to practice my knowledge of Go.

• Go version 1.22 or higher
• nodemon package from npm (for development server)
• Redis server. Upstash is free 😉

• REDIS_URL: (required) The URL of the redis instance to connect to.
• PORT: The http port the server will listen on. Defaults to localhost:8090.

To get started with this repo, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/valtlfelipe/go-api.git

2. Install dependencies:

cd go-api
go mod tidy

3. Run locally:

make run

The API should now be running at http://localhost:8090.

4. Run tests:

make test

5. Test coverage:

make test-coverage
# open coverage/coverage.html

Test coverage files will be available inside coverage/ folder.
