Albums API with Go and Firebase

Overview

This project demonstrates a basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) API built using Go (or Golang) and Firebase Firestore for managing a collection of albums. The API allows users to perform the following operations:

  • Get a list of all albums
  • Get details of a specific album by ID
  • Create a new album
  • Update an existing album by ID
  • Delete an album by ID

Utilizing the speed and simplicity of Go, along with Firebase's scalable NoSQL cloud database, this API is a robust start for any album management application.

Features

  • Go Modules: The project utilizes Go Modules for managing dependencies, ensuring easy setup and reproducible builds.
  • Gin Web Framework: Gin is a web framework written in Go, utilized in this project for handling HTTP requests and routing.
  • Firebase Firestore: Firebase Firestore is a flexible, scalable database for mobile, web, and server development from Firebase and Google Cloud.
  • Input Validation: Leveraging the go-playground/validator package, the API ensures all incoming data adheres to expected formats before performing operations.
  • Error Handling: Proper error handling is implemented to guide the users with the correct status codes and error messages.
