Usage

Create .env.yaml file and set environment variables. Check .env-sample.yaml to see all the possible variables.

To install dependencies and start the project, make sure your GOPATH is set, and run:

make
make start

You can use make dev on development to reload the server automatically on file changes.

Redis

To run this project you need to have redis installed and running, you can use the following commands to do so.

# MacOS
brew install redis
brew services start redis

# Linux
# install using your package manager
systemctl start redis

# Docker
docker run -it --rm -p 6379:6379 redis

You can use redis-cli to interact with redis (ie. check keys and values). Useful commands:

# Show all keys
KEYS *

# Show value for a key
GET <key>

API Documentation

We use go-swagger for generating the API documentation based on the OpenAPI 2.0 specification which is defined on api/swagger.yml.

# Opens the documentation website locally (on http://localhost:51261/docs)
make swagger-serve

# Validates the swagger schema
make swagger-validate

Secret Manager

This service uses Vault for syncing secrets to our app.

The following structure is expected:

• secret/{VAULT_NAMESPACE}/{environment}/app_tokens
• secret/{VAULT_NAMESPACE}/{environment}/settings

Contributing

• Run make test/all before pushing changes.
• Commit messages should be at most 72 characters long.
• Commit messages should start with the scope of the changes introduced by the commit.

Troubleshooting

It cannot find go or some packages when executing some make commands

When executing swagger, or protoc, or running make dev (after having run make), it says that those command do not exist...

In golang, the main packages are installed in your go installation bin folder, which defaults to usr/local/go/bin. When installing new packages through make, the binaries are installed in $GOPATH/bin. (How to set GOPATH).

To fix the issue you have make them accessible through the terminal, by adding both of these routes to your $PATH so they are known to your bash environment, i.e editing your .bashrc or .zshrc

export GOPATH=$HOME/go #example of GOPATH directory
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin $PATH:$GOPATH/bin
