This is a custom app I build from scratch in golang, while self learning the inner working of this amaizing coding experience of a language.
This app was designed as a simple web server for some minimal bookmaking, aka gambling. by defining several endpoints to handle HTTP requests. The program defines several structs to represent data, including: Horse, Record, Person, and Bet. It allows investors to participate in various events. The app is connected to a MongoDB database for persistancy between events. Built with Go, utilizing MongoDB, Gin framwork, Nginx, Docker & Compose. using git, Taskfile, air, wails.
This app is part of my Portfolio project, which includes developing and implementing CI/CD workflows with Jenkins, github actions, argocd. Observability, Logging & Monitoring with EFK, Prometheus & grafana. Deployed & configured with Kubernetes, Helm, Ansible, Terraform. While Implementing: Microservices Architecture Gitops Github Flow Modularity Automation
- Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/Slvr-one/bookmaker.git && cd bookmaker
- build sources into an image:
./scripts/dockerize.sh - release the image to a private repo:
./scripts/release.sh
note!
[make sure to set vars in the scripts to fit yourself]initializing a MongoDB client, connect to a MongoDB database, and insert multiple documents into a collection/table:
-- The initMongoDB function initializes a MongoDB client with the URL "mongodb://localhost:27017", connects to the MongoDB database named "bookmaker", -- creates a collection named "bets" in the "bookmaker" database, -- inserts three documents into the "bets" collection using the InsertMany method. -- Each document is a BSON document that consists of several fields, such as: "fullName", "age", "amount", "profit".
-- The bson.D type is used to represent a BSON document in Go code. -- After inserting the documents, the InsertedIDs field of the InsertManyResult object is printed to the console.
| Path | Method | Description |
|---|---|---|
/ |
GET |
Welcome page, displays horses available, current date & time. |
/assets |
GET |
static content - html, css, js & images |
/health |
GET |
Health check endpoint, returns 'GOT HEALTH'. indicate the server is up. |
/metrics |
GET |
for monitoring purposes |
/LH |
GET |
list all horses available |
/GH/{name} |
GET |
list a specific horse's details |
/UH/{name} |
PUT |
update a specific horse's details, by name |
/invest/{horse}/{amount} |
UPDATE |
Allows the user to place a bet on a specific horse. |
The program also defines several functions to handle these endpoints. The GetHorses function returns the number of horses available, the GetHorse function returns information about a specific horse, and the Invest function allows the user to place a bet on a specific horse. The main function initializes the web server and sets up the routing.
