How to Use the Project

Development

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yantology/simple-http-server-golang.git
   cd simple-http-server-golang

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Run the server:

   go run main.go

4. Run tests:

   go test ./...

Production

1. Build the application:

   go build -o simple-http-server.exe

2. Run the built application:

   ./simple-http-server

The server will start on port 8080. You can access it at http://localhost:8080.

• To access the form, navigate to http://localhost:8080/form.
• To access the hello endpoint, navigate to http://localhost:8080/api/v1/hello.
• To submit the form, use the endpoint http://localhost:8080/api/v1/form.

Docker

You can also run the application using Docker(look dockerfile for the setup).

1. Build the Docker image:

   docker build -t simple-http-server .

2. Run the Docker container:

   docker run -p 8080:8080 simple-http-server

The server will start on port 8080. You can access it at http://localhost:8080.

• To access the form, navigate to http://localhost:8080/form.
• To access the hello endpoint, navigate to http://localhost:8080/api/v1/hello.
• To submit the form, use the endpoint http://localhost:8080/api/v1/form.
