    Sample projects and code from my blog posts

    I will start by copying the content of https://github.com/kashifsoofi/blog-code-samples/tree/main/movies-api-with-go-chi-and-memory-store, placing it in a new folder movies-api-with-go-chi-and-mysql and updating module name in go.mod to match the new folder and updating in source files where its used. This will usually be the root of your git repo and will not be as elaborate as this.

  • migrate

    Before we can start using MySQL we need to create a table to store our data. I will be using excellent migrate database migrations tool, it can also be imported as a libraray.
