# GoPal [](https://travis-ci.org/masaruhoshi/go-palindrome) [](https://coveralls.io/github/masaruhoshi/go-palindrome?branch=master)
`GoPal` is a simple set of REST apis built on [http://golang.org](Go) used to validate
sets of words, numbers or phrases as palindromes.

## Palindromes
Palindromes are word, phrases, numbers, or other sequence of characters
which reads the same backward as forward ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palindrome]).

Dammit I'm Mad
Observe that phrase palindromes ignore punctuation, spaces and capital letters. In other languages where characters have variations due to accent notation, those characters are also converted to their primitive form in order to be considered as a palindrome.

SOCORRAM-ME, SUBI NO ÔNIBUS EM MARROCOS
Photenic languages like Japanese require special analisis to be considered as a palindrome. It's required to use their phonetic notation to evaluate them. In order words, ideograms representation (kanji) must be converted to phonetic format (hiragana) before.

私負けましたわ => わたしまけましたわ
### Character normalization
Thanks to utf-8 representation, characteres in different languages can
be expressed in a single and common encoding, 8-bit based.
However, it also introduced new problems. For example, "é" can be
either represented as a single character \u00e9 or the combination of
e and \u0301. Or the ⁹ and the regular digit 9. Or yet, 'K' ("\u004B")
and 'K' (Kelvin sign "\u212A").
### Normalization
Although Go is able to handle character collation quite well using on
unnormalized strings, evaluating palindromes in different languages
require normalizing the string. To achieve we, I decided using the
text/transform and text/unicode/norm packages.
### Examples
| English | Spanish / Portuguese | Japanese |
|--------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------|--------------------------|
| racecar | DÁBALE ARROZ A LA ZORRA EL ABAD | たけやぶやけた |
| Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog | ROMA ME TEM AMOR | わたしまけましたわ |
| Rats live on no evil star | SOCORRAM-ME, SUBI NO ÔNIBUS EM MARROCOS | なるとをとるな |
| Live on time, emit no evil | | しなもんぱんもれもんぱんもなし |
| Mr. Owl ate my metal worm | | よのなかほかほかなのよ |
| Was it a cat I saw? | | たしかにかした |
| Dammit I'm Mad | | |
## Requirements
- `go` 1.4+
- `MongoDB`
- `curl` or any REST client (I recommend [https://advancedrestclient.com/](Advanced REST Client) )

## Development
### Preparing the environment
I strongly recommend using a Docker container for development. It may simplify a lot the
development process. I created a `Dockerfile.dev` I used for development. You can build it doing
the following:
```
$ docker build --rm --squash -t gopal:dev -f Dockerfile.dev .
```
There are two things you need to consider to run this application. `gopal` runs under port 80 and
this image is already exposing it. However, you need to map it to your host. You may also want to
mount the source code into the running container so you can still develop locally. You may do both
things with this command:
```
$ docker run --rm -p 80:80 -v /gopal/source:/go/src -it gopal:dev
```
The container entrypoint is a `bash` instance under `/go` path. The source is mounted under `./src`
and the host machine is listening to port 80. There's a chance your host may already have a web
server running and you may have problems with that. If it's your case, change the mapping port to
something else like this `-p 8080:80`.
MongoDb isn't running either. So, make sure you have it up every time you run the container
```
$ /etc/init.d/mongodb start
```
Also, the first time you run `gopal` you have to get its dependencies satisfied. Inside the running
container, make sure you execute `go-wrapper download` to install the dependencies.
### Dependencies
* [HTTPRouter](https://github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter): lightweight router in `go`
* [MGO](https://github.com/go-mgo/mgo): Mongo driver for `go`
* [Transform](https://golang.org/x/text/transform) and [Norm](https://golang.org/x/text/unicode/norm): Normalization unicode characters
* [Cors](https://github.com/rs/cors): Handles CORS requests
## Building and running
`golang` has a `run` command. It's essentially an alias to `go build` that executes the binary
file and then gets rid of it at the end of the execution. I don't recommend doing using `run`
as you avoid having to manually specify every file you need to run. `gopal` as it's a pretty lightweight and simple application that can be built in seconds.
```
$ go build -o gopal && ./gopal
```
## Testing
Use the usual `go test` to run application tests. If everything is fine you should get a result
like this:
```
$ go test
PASS
ok _/go/src 0.046s
```
## JSON Schema
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/schema#",
"title": "Palindrome",
"type": "object",
"required": ["ID", "phrase", "valid"],
"properties": {
"ID": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Unique identified"
},
"phrase": {
"type": "string",
"description": "Name of the product"
},
"valid": {
"type": "boolean",
"description": "Wether it's a valid palindrome or not"
}
}
}
The JSON Schema above can be used to test the validity of the JSON code below:
{
"ID": "58eedfb5b7fc13821176df2c",
"phrase": "Live on time, emit no evil",
"valid": true
}
## Endpoints

"phrase": "racecar",
"valid": true
}
]

* `null`: In case there're no records
### `POST /palindrome/`
