## Introduction
This repository contains a Go-based API that demonstrates best practices in building RESTful services. The API is designed to be modular, easy to extend, and well-documented, making it an excellent starting point for developers looking to build their own APIs in Go.
## Features
- RESTful API: Follows REST principles for clean and predictable endpoints.
- Modular Design: Easy to extend and modify with a well-organized codebase.
- Database Integration: Supports integration with popular databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL).
- Authentication: Includes JWT-based authentication for secure access.
- Validation: Input validation to ensure data integrity.
- Logging: Comprehensive logging for debugging and monitoring.
- Testing: Includes unit tests and integration tests to ensure reliability.
## Installation
To get started with this API, follow these steps:
### Clone the Repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/waseemofficial/API-golang.git
cd API-golang
```
### Install Dependencies:
Ensure you have Go installed on your system. Then, install the required dependencies:
```bash
go mod download
```
Configure Environment Variables:
Create a .env file in the root directory and set the necessary environment variables. You can use the .env.example file as a template.
Run the Application:
Start the API server by running:
```bash
go run main.go
```
Access the API:
The API should now be running on http://localhost:8080. You can interact with it using tools like Postman or cURL.
## Usage
Once the API is up and running, you can start making requests to the available endpoints. Below are some examples of how to use the API:
Example Request: Create a New User
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/users \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john.doe@example.com",
"password": "securepassword123"
}'
```
Example Request: Authenticate a User
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"email": "john.doe@example.com",
"password": "securepassword123"
}'
```
## API Endpoints
