We Work Anywhere Go API

This project is a modern job opportunities API built using Golang, currently one of the highest paying programming languages. The API is powered by Go-Gin as a router, GoORM for database communication, SQLite as the database, and Swagger for API documentation and testing. The project follows a modern package structure to keep the codebase organized and maintainable.

make run

Docker and Docker Compose

This project includes a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml file for easy containerization and deployment. Here are the most common Docker and Docker Compose commands you may want to use:

• docker build -t weworkanywhere-api .: Build a Docker image for the project. Replace weworkanywhere-api with a name for your image.
• docker run -p 8080:8080 -e PORT=8080 weworkanywhere-api: Run a container based on the built image. Replace your-image-name with the name you used when building the image. You can change the port number if necessary.

If you want to use Docker Compose, follow these commands:

• docker compose build: Build the services defined in the docker-compose.yml file.
• docker compose up: Run the services defined in the docker-compose.yml file.

To stop and remove containers, networks, and volumes defined in the docker-compose.yml file, run:

Used Tools

This project uses the following tools:

• Golang for backend development
• Go-Gin for route management
• GoORM for database communication
• SQLite as the database
• Swagger for API documentation and testing

Usage

After the API is running, you can use the Swagger UI to interact with the endpoints for searching, creating, editing, and deleting job opportunities. The API can be accessed at http://localhost:$PORT/swagger/index.html.

Default $PORT if not provided=8080.
