Introduction

This is my effort to learn Go as my new second language. Initially I was following this awesome tutorial from Keiran Scot. However, I faced some problems with the front end that need fixing. The problems are:

• CORS-related
• Go imports

Running the Demo

1. Run mongodb docker container with this command: docker run --rm -it -v mongo:/data/db -p 27017:27017 mongo
2. Run ./todolist-mongo-go to bring up the server
3. Open https://todo-mongo-go.fadhil-blog.dev/ on your browser

What I have learned from this

• Basic Go program structures, including data structures in Go. Learned how to use maps & slices.
• How to connect Go to mongo (using mgo driver)
• How to write basic Go HTTP server using Gorilla Mux
• How to add CORS headers in Gorilla Mux
