Requirements

To run this program you will need to install:

• PostresSQL
• Go CLI

For Dev:

• Goose (for migrations) go install github.com/pressly/goose/v3/cmd/goose@latest
  • from sql/schema directory of the project run goose postgres "postgres://postgres:postgres@localhost:5432/gator" up to do the migrations
• SQLC (for generating models) go install github.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/cmd/sqlc@latest
  • from root of the project run sqlc generate to build models from SQL files

Setup

set up a config in your home directory ~/.gatorconfig.json

{
  "db_url": "protocol://username:password@host:port/database?sslmode=disable",
  "current_user_name": "username_goes_here"
}

Installation

Because GO does not allow custom names when installing application (as far as I know) you can either:

• install from source with go install and use boot-dev-blog-aggregator to run the program, or
• build the code with custom name go build -o gator and use generated executable instead

Usage

first: make an account

./gator register YOUR_USERNAME

then you can follow some topics:

./gator follow https://blog.boot.dev/index.xml

let them update:

./gator agg 1m

and see the content:

./gator browse X (where X is number of articles to be shown, they are sorted from latest or oldest by publishing data)
