Getting Started

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Go installed on your system. You can download it from the official Go website.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-go-project.git
   cd your-go-project
   

2. Install dependencies (if any):

   go mod tidy
   

Running the Project

1. Start the server:

   go run main.go
   

2. The server should now be running on http://localhost:4000. You can use tools like Postman or your browser to interact with the API.

API Endpoints

• GET /api/todos: Fetch all todos.
• POST /api/todos: Create a new todo.
• DELETE /api/todos/:id: Delete a todo by ID.
• PATCH /api/todos/:id: Update a todo by ID.

Usage

Here are some examples of how to interact with the API using curl:

• Fetch all todos:

  curl http://localhost:4000/api/todos
  

• Create a new todo:

  curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"body": "New Task"}' http://localhost:4000/api/todos
  

• Delete a todo:

  curl -X DELETE http://localhost:4000/api/todos/your-todo-id
  

• Update a todo:

  curl -X PATCH -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"body": "Updated Task"}' http://localhost:4000/api/todos/your-todo-id
  

Frontend

The frontend of this project is built using React and Chakra UI. Chakra UI is a simple, modular, and accessible component library that gives you the building blocks to build your React applications.

Theme Changing

This project includes theme changing capabilities to switch between light and dark modes. The theme can be toggled using the UI switch provided in the application.
