All code for this course is written from scratch. The branches in this repo are code checkpoints for sections within the course:
- The
main
branch contains everything you need for the Go Basics section - The
chapter_0
branch contains the solution to the AWS & CDK section - branch
chapter_1
branch contains the solution to the DynamoDB & Insertin Users section - branch
chapter_2
branch contains the solution to the AAPI Gateway & Authentication Routes section - branch
chapter_3
branch contains the solution to the JSON Web Tokens & Protected URLs section
Note: The code in the above branches may not match what was coded during the course. See the live_workshop
branch for the final course code.
At the end of the course, the API routes are tested with cURL commands. You can copy/paste these commands instead of typing them out.
curl -X POST AWS_SERVER_URL/register -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"USERNAME", "password":"PASSWORD"}'
curl -X POST AWS_SERVER_URL/login -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"username":"USERNAME", "password":"PASSWORD"}'
curl -X GET AWS_SERVER_URL/protected -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer JWT_TOKEN"
To remove the infrastructure created with the AWS CDK, run cdk destory
.
Before running cdk destroy
, you'll want to ensure you've added RemovalPolicy: awscdk.RemovalPolicy_DESTROY
in the awsdynamodb.TableProps
.
