Backend-photagea

golang backend for photagea webapp

Setup Project

Prerequisites

Install go: https://golang.org/doc/install

1. Install Mysql

• Download and run the installer: https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/installer/
• Leave default selections
• Set the root password, create at least one additional user: dev, password: developmentpassword. Or edit main.go:29 for your own custom account.
• I recommend installing mysql workbench and using it for all developer-database interactions.

2. Import Development database

From mysql workbench:

• In the navigator sidebar on the right, click data import/restore.
• Select import from self-contained file.
• Open "photagea.sql" from the project root.

Running

• From the project root on the commandline, run:

    go run .
  

• Obtain authentication token:

  • Post 127.0.0.1:8001/account/signin with the following body: { "Email": "dood", "Password": "milk" }

• The authentication header on all requests should be set to "Bearer <authentication token>"

Project TODO's

Obviously, this project isn't production ready yet. I will add steps here as I think/learn of them:

• Enable HTTPS using openssl
• Passwords and secrets currently included as plain-text in the code. This should be stored as secrets and inserted at build time according to whichever environment.
• Endpoints should have documentation for how they are used. Usage could be returned on 400's.
