pgx/examples/todo

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 DATABASE_URL and standard PostgreSQL environment variables (PGHOST, PGUSER, etc.)

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 update 1 'Learn more go'

Delete a task

./todo remove 1
