simple go web application

by: Taib Izzat Samawi, 5025221085

this is a simple implementation of go/golang for a web application.

how to run

• clone/download this repo
• open the folder
• download go/golang
• run go run wiki.go
• optionally, if you want a faster/more performant implementation:
  • run go build wiki.go
  • this will create a wiki machine code (in linux) or a wiki.exe executable (in windows)
  • run ./wiki (linux) or wiki.exe (windows)

this will open up a webpage at localhost:8080

localhost:8080/view

if one were to open localhost:8080/view/<filename>

example: localhost:8080/view/monke

if the file monke.txt exists in the project:

this will open up a page that looks like below

otherwise, if the monke.txt file does not exist in the project:

this will open up a session of localhost:8080/edit/monke, which we will discuss in the next section.

localhost:8080/edit

if one were to open localhost:8080/edit/<filename>

example: localhost:8080/edit/monke

a screen will pop up, which will look like below:

editing contents

one can edit the contents inside the text area

saving contents

one can click on the save button to commit/save changes. After clicking the Save button, one would be redirected to a session of localhost:8080/view/monke, which will show the updated contents
