ng-blog Backend

This is the backend service for the ng-blog project. It's written in Go and provides the API endpoints for the frontend application.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go (version 1.24 or higher)

Running the Backend

The backend provides two main commands: serve and help.

• serve: Starts the backend server. It loads configuration from environment variables and listens for incoming requests.

  go run ./cmd/main.go serve
  

• help: Displays usage information about the configuration options.

  go run ./cmd/main.go help
  

Configuration

The backend is configured using environment variables. The help command will display the available configuration options. The configuration is loaded using the go-simpler.org/env library. Environment variable names are expected to be in the format CONFIG_OPTION_NAME.

Directory Structure

• cmd/main.go: The main entry point for the application. Handles command-line arguments and starts the server.
• internal/config: Defines the configuration struct and default values.
• internal/startup: Responsible for initializing the HTTP multiplexer and other startup tasks.
