API Resource Server

This is an example of a basic API server that retrieves resources based on the URL pattern. It relies on a MongoDB instance and standard REST conventions.

Getting Started

Seed your MongoDB with some data. In your mongo client, run the following:

use test
db.notes.insert({"note": "This is a note."});

Start up the application server

1. Install Godep with go get -u github.com/tools/godeps.
2. Build the application with make build.
3. Run the application within Docker or standalone.

Run modes

• With Docker
  • Run make start
  • Access the server at http://$DOCKER_IP:9000/
• Standalone
  • Run ./golang-rest-server will start the server at http://localhost:9000/ and look for a mongo DB at localhost.
  • Use command line arguments to override: ./golang-rest-server --help
