Test Project

Overview

This project demonstrates a simple Go application with PostgreSQL and Docker. It is designed to showcase effective development practices using Docker Compose for containerization, and integrates a PostgreSQL database for data storage.

Prerequisites

Before running the project, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Docker Compose
• Go (for local developing)

Running with Docker

1. It is recommended to create a .env file inside the docker/ folder with the following content:

   COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME="test-effective-mobile-golang"
   

2. To build and start the services:

   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.build.yml up
   

   1. If you need to specify a custom image, update the docker/.env file:

      IMAGE=<YOUR IMAGE NAME>
      

      Then, run the following to start the services:

      docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
      

Running in Development Mode

1. Create a .env file at the root of the project with the following content:

   DEBUG=true
   DB=postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/app
   

2. Start the PostgreSQL database:

   docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.psql.yml up -d
   

3. Run the application:

   go run cmd/main.go
   

Running Tests

To run the tests in this project, use the following Go command:

go test ./tests/...

Debugging

A configuration for debugging in Visual Studio Code is already set up. Simply start the PostgreSQL database and press F5 to start debugging.
