1. blog-code-samples

   1 3 11 8.9 Go

   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.

2. InfluxDB

3. migrate

   Database migrations. CLI and Golang library.

   

   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.

4. sqlx

   3 77 17,036 3.3 Go

   general purpose extensions to golang's database/sql

   

   I will be using sqlx to execute queries and map columns to struct fields and vice versa, sqlx is a library which provides a set of extensions on go's standard database/sql library.

7. docker

   Discontinued Docker - the open-source application container engine (by microsoft)

   

   This is a continuation of an earlier post REST API with Go, Chi and InMemory Store. In this tutorial I will extend the service to store data in a MySQL database. I will use Docker to run MySQL and run database migrations.
