This project is a simple movie management service written in Go. It allows users to perform CRUD operations on a movie database. The project uses the Gorilla Mux library for routing.
The API service has the following endpoints:
GET /movies: Fetches all the movies in the database.GET /movies/{id}: Fetches a specific movie based on its ID.POST /movies/create: Creates a new movie in the database.PUT /movies/{id}: Updates the information of a specific movie based on its ID.DELETE /movies/{id}: Deletes a specific movie based on its ID.
- Make sure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from the official website.
- Install the Gorilla Mux library by running
go get -u github.com/gorilla/mux. - Download or clone this repository to your local machine.
- Navigate to the project directory and run
go run main.go. - The server will start on port 8000. You can access the API endpoints via
http://localhost:8000.
You can use a tool like Postman or curl to interact with the API.
Example usage:
- Fetch all movies:
GET http://localhost:8000/movies - Fetch a specific movie:
GET http://localhost:8000/movies/1 - Create a new movie:
POST http://localhost:8000/movies/create - Update a movie:
PUT http://localhost:8000/movies/1 - Delete a movie:
DELETE http://localhost:8000/movies/1
The data model for the Movie entity is defined in a struct named Movie. Each movie has the following fields:
ID: A unique identifier for the movie.Title: The title of the movie.Director: The director of the movie.Rating: The rating of the movie.
The movie data is stored in a slice named movies.
Please note that this project uses an in-memory database to store the movies. The data will be lost when the server is restarted.
Here are some ideas for future improvements to the project:
- Add validation to the movie creation and update endpoints.
- Implement pagination for the
GET /moviesendpoint. - Use a persistent database like PostgreSQL or MySQL to store the movies.
- Add authentication and authorization to the API.
