Generating Golang Server Stubs / API code

The following instructions are a "somewhat more detailed" adaptation of instructions described in

• Download swagger codegen (to ~/apps in this example)
• Execute the following to generate the golang server stub in the app directory

java -jar  ~/apps/swagger-codegen-3.0.34/modules/swagger-codegen-cli/target/swagger-codegen-cli.jar generate \
  -i bookstore.yaml \
  -l go-server \
  -o app

• cd app

Execute the application

• Option 1: Execute the application directly
  • In main.go , fix the path to the sw import eg sw "github.com/balamuru/bookstore/app/go"
  • go mod init
  • go mod tidy
  • go run main.go
• Option 2: Build the application within Docker
  • Build image 'docker build . -t bookstore' . In case this image is built on a machine behind a proxy, be sure to pass the proxies as command args docker build . -t bookstore --build-arg http_proxy --build-arg https_proxy
  • Start container docker run -it -p8080:8080 bookstore

Access the stub API

• Use the appropriate client eg curl -v http://localhost:8080/vgb/bookstore/1.0/shelves

$ curl -v http://localhost:8080/vgb/bookstore/1.0/shelves
