File Naming Convention

• Separate file for each Model.

• Controller functions to be grouped together by their routes.

• Each Subroute has a separate file.

In short, don't keep any surprises. Use groupings as per your discretion.

Dependencies

gorilla/mux
jinzhu/gorm
golang-jwt/jwt/v4

Also uses golanglint-ci for linting code.

Building

• Clone the repo and cd into it's directory.
• Run the following commands

  docker-compose build
  docker-compose up 

NOTE: If you face the following issue with docker-compose.

strconv.Atoi: parsing "": invalid syntax

This is because docker-compose is creating arbitrary container not in docker-compose.yml and terminating the starting process.
FIX: Use docker-compose-v1 instead of docker-compose.
