My Library API

This is a simple API for managing books in a library. It provides various routes to perform CRUD operations on books.

Prerequisites

Go version 1.16 or higher installed on your machine.
The Gin web framework package (github.com/gin-gonic/gin) installed. You can install it by running:
```
go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin
```

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/zaahidali/Learn-go-language

Change to the project directory:
```
cd library_management_api
```
Start the API server:
```
go run library_management_api.go
```

Getting Started

Once you have the API up and running locally, you can make HTTP requests to interact with it. The server will start at http://localhost:8000.

Routes

GET / - Welcome page that greets users with a message.
GET /books - Retrieves a list of all books in the library.
GET /books/:id - Retrieves details of a specific book based on the provided id parameter.
PUT /books/:id - Updates an existing book with new information based on the provided id parameter.
DELETE /books/:id - Deletes a specific book from the library based on the provided id parameter.
POST /books - Adds a new book to the library.

Usage

To use the API, you can make HTTP requests to the corresponding routes using a tool like cURL or Postman. Here are some examples:

Get all books:
```
GET /books
```
Get details of a specific book with ID "1":
```
GET /books/1
```

Update the information of a book with ID "2":

PUT /books/2
Request Body: {"id": "2", "title": "Updated Title", "author": "Updated Author"}

Delete a book with ID "1":
```
DELETE /books/1
```

Add a new book to the library:

POST /books
Request Body: {"id": "3", "title": "New Book", "author": "New Author"}

Book Structure

Each book in the library has the following structure:

{
  "id": "string",
  "title": "string",
  "author": "string"
}

Example Data

Here are some example books that are initially present in the library:

[
  {
    "id": "1",
    "title": "12 Rules of Life",
    "author": "Jordan Peterson"
  },
  {
    "id": "2",
    "title": "Harry Potter",
    "author": "J.K. Rowling"
  }
]
