Purpose

The aim of the project is to allow the user to view the current state of the weather by designing and building a weather station. The preview will be possible through a browser, i.e. a web application in the form of clear graphs and on the display attached to the weather station.

Description

Go was chosen as the programming language for this part of the project with Gin framework due to the ease of implementing the RESTful API and the simplicity of connecting the application with Postgres database. The web application was built using Go templates and language JavaScript. The Postgres database was created using the Soda migration tool.

Available endpoints

API endpoints:

// API
