Go API Tutorial - Make An API With Go

amazing

thanks for the tutorial!

There is no need to use json tags in the book struct as the IndentedJSON fucntion encodes the go structs into json itself.

@27.58, you could also use c.AbortWithStatudJson. Meanwhile thanks for this video. I learnt alot.

Thanks for this

Hello, which Go extension do you use? My json tags are not showing up.

Great tutorial but, I was expecting you to test the API endpoints on applications like Postman. Apart from that I was hoping you would saperate things in folders like, Struct folders, Controller folders and Repository folders.

Great awesome explanation

Short and simple tutorial. Great works Tim!

I was getting an error with curl localhost:8080/checkout?id=1 --request "PATCH"
zsh: no matches found: localhost:8080/checkout?id=1 but it worked when i added double quotes. curl "localhost:8080/checkout?id=1" --request "PATCH"

I love the fact that you leave your mistakes in. It shows us that even super human programmers make mistakes, gives me a chance to pause and take a stab at the issue, and finally you break down your thought process behind the troubleshooting.

Thanks for this tutorial. That is a really great start to get the basics and continue from here!

why are teaching stuff that you dont even know

Many thanks Tim.

Can anybody tell is gin framework a third party package or not ?

I dont know what settings to change but on go extension file, when I save a file, it automatically removed all the unused imports.
I dont know where to turn this off on VSCode

Thank you for this tutorial

great video, thanks

great job!

so why do we need to type "example/" in command go mod init and what exactly "example" is ? 😃

The splatting operator '@' cannot be used to
| reference variables in an expression. '@body'
| can be used only as an argument to a command.

What does this error mean?

Not bad but in the dev process it has documentation and tests ... where are they ... it is important and it miss

Ahhh this paid promotion thing is so annoying.. it hides content as I'm watching from TV..

Amazing, thanks!

Thanks for that, Tim!

If I am not using gin, how else can I bind the json to the object?

Really curious about why you made the struct'd Id field a string vs. an int or other 'actual' numeric value? :)

Nice tutorial but won't these frameworks weaken our programming skills?

can you implement json api spec?

Why almost every tutorial is with gin or some other framework. Why there is no simple go tutorial, without any extra frameworks etc.

great tutorial, but it's easy for me

Ug. Sponsor:(

Surprisingly I could not use curl to do a PATCH request, whereas it's possible for any other request. It was only available when I used Postman or Insomnia to do the PATCH request, so strange...

Gin not good for large scale application? Which do u recommend?

Nice introduction! Thanks!

I'd love to see more Go tutorials! Concurrency, databases, etc.

Excellent demonstration

I wish this made sense to me. It is very convoluted.

I wished I didn't pick this language but it's so cool and really powerful.
When you understand the concepts it's pretty easy to pick up!
Thanks for teaching sir!

simple and straight foward.

I cannot for the life of me get the POST to work. I'm using Windows and the VSC terminal, but I get either "bad request" or "splatting not allowed errors". I have tried everything from escaping the @ to trying to just use Invoke-WebRequest instead. I don't know how to get it to work. Running it as Tim has his code gives the splatting not allowed error, which is from Windows' Invoke, but even removing cURL as an alias doesn't work. I've been at this for 5 hours now, and tried ever SO workaround I can find, nothing works. If anyone knows a trick to get this to work I would be ever grateful!

Finally got it working, I don't know what I changed that fixed it, all I know is that part of the fix was using cmd and not PowerShell. Other than that, I honestly can't say. It wasn't working, and then it was.
😕

Great tutorial, Tim (as always!). It's good to see some tutorials that are not just going over basic syntax. This is still very simple but it illustrate a real world example!

yes

GO is so sick. Would love to see an advanced tutorial

I'm waiting for assembly tutorial 🤟🤟🤣

Reaaaally cool! Thanks ✌ Guys, pay attention to the terminal: he is using CMD to execute the curl commands! It doesn't work out using the power shell

Another seriously great tutorial...... thanks Tim

Great video but Java and Python will always rule over the others
