Go Todo REST API Example

A RESTful API example for simple todo application with Go

It is a just simple tutorial or example for making simple RESTful API with Go using gorilla/mux (A nice mux library) and gorm (An ORM for Go)

Installation & Run

# Download this project
go get github.com/mingrammer/go-todo-rest-api-example

Before running API server, you should set the database config with yours or set the your database config with my values on config.go

func GetConfig() *Config {
	return &Config{
		DB: &DBConfig{
			Dialect:  "mysql",
			Username: "guest",
			Password: "Guest0000!",
			Name:     "todoapp",
			Charset:  "utf8",
		},
	}
}

# Build and Run
cd go-todo-rest-api-example
go build
./go-todo-rest-api-example

# API Endpoint : http://127.0.0.1:3000
