# Gopher API
The Gopher API, is a evolutive simple CRUD API for formative purpose, we're building it while writing the posts of the [blog](https://blog.friendsofgo.tech).

In this API we've learnt differents, features and patterns in Go:

* Using Gorilla Mux to create an simple API
* Using a SOLID, Hexagonal Architecture
* Testing HTTP handlers
* Integration with CircleCI
* Using Wire to build dependencies [only in v0.3.1](https://github.com/friendsofgo/gopherapi/releases/tag/v0.3.1)
* Using pattern contextkey
* Using instrumenting with Zipkin

## How can I use it?

**Install**

```sh
$ go get -u github.com/friendsofgo/gopherapi/cmd/gopherapi
```

**Usage**
Launch server with predefined data

```sh
$ gopherapi --withData
