Development

Want to contribute? Great!

This API uses Rizla for fast developing. Make a change in your file and instantaneously see your updates!

Open your favorite Terminal and run these commands.

cd gom-api
go build app.go

This will create the executeable GO file and pull in the necessary dependencies.

I am using Rizla Hot Reloading package (which hot reloads the server on code changes) map the port to whatever you wish on your host or set a PORT on your .env file.

rizla app.go

Verify the deployment by navigating to your server address in your preferred browser.
