Welcome
This is Fortune, a golang program. It spins up a server at port 3030. If you send a GET request at 127.0.0.1:3030 you will get a json response back. The response will contain an animal and a "fortune".
The program is inspired by cowsays.
Is there an option for a docker image?
Yes! You can build the docker image with
docker buildx build -t golang-fortune:1.0 . After succesfully building it, you might run it with docker run -p 3030:3030 golang-fortune:1.0
Do I need a docker image?
No, you can execute make run to run the program or make build to compile the program. Both ways are totally fine. The compiled program contains everything it needs and is not dependend on anything else.
How does it work?
You start the program. Then you can, for example, curl 127.0.0.1:3030 or open 127.0.0.1:3030 in your web browser to get a fortune. (Use localhost instead of 127.0.0.1, if you're on windows.)
Where are the fortunes stored? I want to modify them
The file is /internal/embedding/fortunes.json. Please note the structure and don't change it. You can add animals and quotes as you like though.
I use port 3030 already and need to change it...
Head over to /internal/server/server.go and change Addr.
What's next?
- implement animal selection
- write more tests
- add option to return html
- ascii arts, maybe?
