This repository contains a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Rest API for managing books written in Golang. The application uses PostgreSQL as its database to store book information. This project serves as a practical example for building a scalable and efficient API with Go and integrating it with a PostgreSQL database.
- Create: Add new books to the database with relevant details such as title, author, and publication date.
- Read: Retrieve a list of all books or fetch details of a specific book using its unique identifier.
- Update: Modify existing book information, including title, author, and publication date.
- Delete: Remove a book from the database based on its identifier.
- Golang: The backend is developed in Go, a statically typed, compiled programming language known for its simplicity and efficiency.
- PostgreSQL: The database management system used to store and retrieve book data.
- Gorilla Mux: A powerful URL router and dispatcher for matching incoming requests to their respective handler functions.
- fl0: For deploy backend applications and databases in minutes.
- Postman: Testing API
