Bankie.go

Bankie.go is a simple banking application built with Go programming language. It provides basic banking functionalities such as creating accounts, making deposits and withdrawals, and transferring funds between accounts.

Features

  • Account Management: Users can create new bank accounts and manage their existing accounts.
  • Deposits and Withdrawals: Users can deposit money into their accounts or make withdrawals.
  • Fund Transfers: Users can transfer funds from one account to another.
  • Transaction History: The application maintains a transaction history for each account, allowing users to track their transactions.

Setup with Docker Compose

To run Bankie.go using Docker Compose, make sure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your system. Then, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/theghostmac/bankie.go.git
  2. Navigate to the project directory:

    cd bankie.go
  3. Start the application using Docker Compose:

    docker-compose up

    or:

    make docker

This will start the application and its dependencies, including PostgreSQL, using Docker Compose.

Example Usage with cURL

Once the application is running, you can interact with it using a RESTful API. Here are some example cURL commands:

Create a new bank account:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
    "FirstName": "John",
    "LastName": "Doe",
    "Email": "[email protected]"
}' http://localhost:8082/accounts

Output:

{"firstName":"John","lastName":"Doe","email":"[email protected]"}

Retrieve information about a specific account:

Replace :id with the actual account ID:

curl http://localhost:8082/accounts/:id

Other Endpoints:

  • POST /accounts/:id/deposit: Make a deposit to a specific account. Provide the deposit amount.
  • POST /accounts/:id/withdraw: Make a withdrawal from a specific account. Provide the withdrawal amount.
  • POST /accounts/:id/transfer: Transfer funds from one account to another. Provide the recipient account ID and the transfer amount.
  • GET /accounts/:id/transactions: Retrieve the transaction history of a specific account.

Make sure to replace :id with the actual account ID in the endpoint URLs.
