todo

README

Description

This is a sample todo list implemented using pgx as the connector to a PostgreSQL data store.

Usage

Create a PostgreSQL database and run structure.sql into it to create the necessary data schema.

Example:

createdb todo
psql todo < structure.sql

Build todo:

go build

Connection configuration

The database connection is configured via enviroment variables.

• PGHOST - defaults to localhost
• PGUSER - defaults to current OS user
• PGPASSWORD - defaults to empty string
• PGDATABASE - defaults to user name

You can either export them then run todo:

export PGDATABASE=todo
./todo list

Or you can prefix the todo execution with the environment variables:

PGDATABASE=todo ./todo list

Add a todo item

./todo add 'Learn go'

List tasks

./todo list

Update a task

./todo add 1 'Learn more go'

Delete a task

./todo remove 1
