Go API Tutorial - Make An API With Go

[@hmshuvo2332]

Perfect place to go for GO for the first time!

[@mechwarrior83]

I love the fact that you leave your mistakes in. It shows us that even super human programmers make mistakes, gives me a chance to pause and take a stab at the issue, and finally you break down your thought process behind the troubleshooting.

[@ValmisFilm]

I disagree. It annoyed me a lot, that I had to learn it the wrong way and then fix it. I think he should prepare better and not make mistakes. I do not need to see how human he is but I need a good video. And making mistakes is not good, it´s bad planning of the video.

[@foeyloozer6299]

@@ValmisFilmI like when they include the errors AFTER teaching you the correct way. Sort of a “common mistakes” section after the right way with examples for different scenarios.

[@ValmisFilm]

@@foeyloozer6299 well like this you could fill it with attentional errors if you take this as a good way to learn. I think it would be much better to make a separate video about typical errors. Makes more sense to me (I am also a teacher). I want to see the correct solution, in an optimized edited video, taht would waste as little time as possible for me. To support my claim - if you pay in Udemy or something like that - no one will give you videos with mistakes.

[@luciaravazzi6925]

Reaaaally cool! Thanks ✌ Guys, pay attention to the terminal: he is using CMD to execute the curl commands! It doesn't work out using the power shell

got more out of the video then expected, helps clarify a lot of the little details and what gin is doing. Thanks!

[@Moccar]

Great tutorial, Tim (as always!). It's good to see some tutorials that are not just going over basic syntax. This is still very simple but it illustrate a real world example!

[@horizonariondust576]

Been looking for a simple yet clear and concise tutorial to learn Go then found your channel, It's perfect! My homework now is to read about pointer, what does it do and why do we need it on Go? I'm using C# and I'm a bit confuse for what is that for Thanks a lot, Tim!

[@ch0wderz912]

I wished I didn't pick this language but it's so cool and really powerful. When you understand the concepts it's pretty easy to pick up! Thanks for teaching sir!

[@efehanturhan6763]

why did you say that bro, i were planning to learn and master go

[@ch0wderz912]

@@efehanturhan6763 it depends on what you wanna do with the language, Go is good for blockchain and networking. I didn’t think it was fun so I decided to learn C# for gaming. Idk I’m just lost right now due to the fact what job role I want.

[@chrisjarvis509]

Great video! Mistakes are the best ways to learn... glad you kept them in

[@gshan994]

Go is best suited for backend infra...and recently AWS released aws cdk support for GO.

[@lucasfe3436]

I could learn many things, thanks Tim. I hope that you launch new videos about GO which is a great programming language

[@JohnBoen]

Excellent demonstration of some key features. I've never played with GO before - I never thought about it as anything more than a wrapper language for deployments and such... Thanks for opening my eyes. I think I will be trying my hand at a Go web page this weekend.

[@LassePhlipsson]

Thanks for this tutorial. That is a really great start to get the basics and continue from here!

[@ezrablack5395]

Great video Tim! For anyone else running on MAC, if you get the error zsh: no matches found: localhost:8080/checkout?id=3 then run the curl command like this - curl -s -X PATCH 'localhost:8080/checkout?id=3'

[@chem826]

Need more golang tutorials, thank you sir!

[@gogopher1093]

I'd love to see more Go tutorials! Concurrency, databases, etc.

[@myschored]

Short and simple tutorial. Great works Tim!

[@nitin_puranik]

Loved this tutorial, very helpful! Thanks, Tim. The only thing I didn't quite follow was why you used router.PATCH at 33:05 - didn't quite get the rationale behind when to use PATCH versus POST.

[@madhavan_vj]

Post is not idempotent i.e will create duplicate resources instead of updating the existing one.

[@busyatyoutube]

great video like the way you explained the api calls it makes easy to me

[@youngscientistacademy7689]

Another seriously great tutorial...... thanks Tim

[@jamesmwangi2491]

simple and straight foward.

[@Syed-kr6hd]

Loved it, Thank you

[@siyaram4237]

Great tutorial but, I was expecting you to test the API endpoints on applications like Postman. Apart from that I was hoping you would saperate things in folders like, Struct folders, Controller folders and Repository folders.

Any pointers for videos regarding ehat u asked ? Am a newbie

[@bavan1358]

thank you so much,i was actually searching for this.please make more videos of golang

[@pranavsharma7479]

There is no need to use json tags in the book struct as the IndentedJSON fucntion encodes the go structs into json itself.

[@shaneoh]

Many thanks Tim.

[@danangjehan9733]

so why do we need to type "example/" in command go mod init and what exactly "example" is ? 😃

Thank you for this tutorial

[@manishkrsingh7684]

Great awesome explanation

[@beaumontyun3872]

Surprisingly I could not use curl to do a PATCH request, whereas it's possible for any other request. It was only available when I used Postman or Insomnia to do the PATCH request, so strange...

[@gustocoder8900]

Unlike with with GET and POST requests, the '?' chartacter in the URL is being interpreted by the shell as a special character eg a wildcard, hence the request will not work as expected. To prevent this; you need to either escape the ? character or put the URL in quotes. So, do it like this: curl "localhost:8080/checkout?id=2" --request "PATCH" OR curl localhost:8080/checkout\?id=2 --request "PATCH"

[@NATAR160]

Gin not good for large scale application? Which do u recommend?

[@minhnt.dev05]

Great video

[@jotunros]

Why is there a books.Quantity

[@thisiscrispin]

Amazing, thanks!

[@ScottKFraley]

Really curious about why you made the struct'd Id field a string vs. an int or other 'actual' numeric value? :)

[@rssaiganesh]

Late reply, not sure if you already have found the answer, but i believe it's because the id is being used in the GET method of bookById. Can anyone let me know if i am correct in this?

[@YnjeviYhhei]

in a real DB it would be an uuid which is a string

[@chips4real1]

why would u need it to be a number, youre not gonna be adding or subtracting ids from each other

[@ScottKFraley]

@@YnjeviYhhei Not necessarily, but I get your point.

[@ScottKFraley]

@@chips4real1 Takes way less space that way, no? I've NEVER used a string as an ID unless it was in fact a GUID/UUID. I mean, I definitely would NOT store a phone number as an actual number because no reason. But I have had plenty of tables that used either an int, or a bigint (long in C#) and again, it's my understanding that numbers take way less space than a string does. (Depending on the length of course. But a short string won't be a good Id for a table unless it's a really small / lookup table or some such.)

[@flyingzeppo]

If anyone is having issues with the PATCH command not working, your curl may be aliased to Invoke-Webrequest. In the terminal, run Remove-item alias:curl and then run the patch command again to checkout a book. I was getting frustrated trying to figure this out, so hope this helps if anyone else is having the same issue.

[@jonathanlambrecht5642]

im just starting, few weeks watching some videos, mainly for deciding my route learning go (not falling for tut hell again as i did learning arduino/pic and it took a lot of time), and what i get from this video is that this is very simple, but i do not undestand what and why the framework is doing whatever it is doing (because i do no get it lol) so i think i need to learn without any framework, the same goes with gorm, yeah pretty straight forward, but i think im going to study postgres too, maybe im wrong or dumb for not getting how this works, idk...any thoughts?

I had an error that said main() did not exist in the package when it did. The problem was I had to save the file. I had saved it earlier after entering my imports but the imports disappeared due to it not being used. StackOverflow was not helpful on stupid mistakes.

[@michelchaghoury870]

great vid, google uses golang, but wich framework do they use? do they use gin?

[@AbhishekBM]

Knowing Google, they probably use their own framework

Hello, which Go extension do you use? My json tags are not showing up.

[@chuibete]

Not bad but in the dev process it has documentation and tests ... where are they ... it is important and it miss

[@yevgeniypak1220]

Can someone tell what Go extension for vscode is used in this tutorial? I am using just "Go" extension, but I really hate the way it formats the code on save action and also it replaces spaces for tabes. And the problem is that I can't find the point in extension settings where I can fix these behaviours...

[@bhavyavijay0]

I did not get the Fetch by id part like how did that error got fixed and why it was not sending the error message

[@riordan381]

I dont know what settings to change but on go extension file, when I save a file, it automatically removed all the unused imports. I dont know where to turn this off on VSCode

[@kabir0x23]

amazing

[@टिरंजननकले]

Nice tutorial but won't these frameworks weaken our programming skills?

[@esper4605]

That's a question that I've mulled over for a long time! I feel like the more we become dependent on high level abstract tools, the less we need to know of the actual "rules" of writing software that performs specific tasks. At the end of the day, we're telling someone's tools that they wrote to tell someone's tools that they wrote to tell someone's tools (etc etc). I feel like we're hitting a point of fragility. It's VERY important to understand how to use lower level languages in case everything needs to be torn apart and redone from scratch. It's ALWAYS important. This is the "zombie apocalypse" of software development, but it is a true fear I have had for a long while.

Has everything to be on a single file? Every tutorial I see everything is always on the same file. I want to structure my code, over multple files so, that go doesnt look like spaghetti code.

[@jotunros]

Unfortunately most of his tutorials are like that. I treat it as nothing more than prototyping just so you can quickly "dip your toes in the water" so to speak. You need to actually look for some other resources on design. Most commercial applications will have tons of more work to be done when implementing a single rest service/microservice. I come from Java so a good point of reference is how the Spring Boot Api services are structured.

why are teaching stuff that you dont even know

[@jessicadowning3170]

It was really helpful for me to see him make mistakes and then go back and explain why he made a mistake. I learned a lot from his video and I'm sure he did too. One of the best ways to solidify something you've learned is to teach it to someone else. If no one ever taught things they hadn't already mastered, there would be a lot less knowledge shared. Don't discourage people from sharing just because you're grumpy.
