Thanks for you interest in working with us here at Cozy! This is a small take home assessment to test your proficieancy with building backend web services.

You will need Go and Docker to run this project.

Here are the steps to get the project setup:

• Run docker compose up
  • You can specify the -d flag if you want to start it in the background.
• Run go run main.go seed
  • This will setup the DB schema and seed it with dummy data.
• Run go run main.go
  • This will start up a basic RESTful server with a single endpoint.

We will be using Go with the Chi router and Postgres (Running in the Docker container) for this. The schema for the SQL DB can be found in schema.sql and a basic Chi setup can be found in api/routes.go.

I want you to create an RESTful API with the following endpoints:

• /posts
  • This endpoint should return a paginated list of posts.
  • The return should be a list of objects with
    • post data
    • author data
    • the number of likes
  • It should take an optional user query param and if passed should return if that user liked the post.
• /posts/:id
  • This endpoint should return a specific post by its ID.
  • The return should be an object with
    • post data
    • author data
    • the number of likes
  • It should take an optional user query param and if passed should return if that user liked the post.
• /posts/:id/likes
  • This endpoint should return a paginated list of the users who liked a post.
  • The return should be a list of objects with
    • like date
    • user data
• /users/:id
  • This endpoint should return a specific user by their ID.
  • The return should be an object with
    • user data
    • 5 latest posts by this user
