basic1 - basic example program

Prequisites:

• Access to a Cloudant instance. This example has a .env file where you can put your Cloudant instance details. If you do not have access to a Cloudant instance, you can install Docker and use the cloudant-developer Docker Container.
• A configured Go environment.

Before running the basic example program (main.go):

This program uses two packages so you will need to get them first so that they are available on your local machine and in the correct directory. From your go src directory issue the following commands:

go get github.com/joho/godotenv

go get github.com/cloudant-labs/go-cloudant

Download the basic1 folder with contents to your go src directory.

Running the basic example program (main.go):

Ensure that you are in the basic1 folder on your local machine, you have done the previous steps in this README file, your cloudant-developer Docker Container is running (if applicable), then issue the following command:

go run main.go

You should see output similar to the following output:
