expenditure-accounting server

This is the expenditure-accounting API server. It requires a PostgreSQL database.

Building

Run tests with

go test ./...

Tests require access to Docker to create a temporary PostgreSQL instance for the test run.

Build the server by running

go build -o server

The server requires a command line parameter -config <CONFIG_FILE>. The configuration file is a JSON file with the following options:

Option	Type	Default value	Description
port	int	8080	port to listen to
bcryptCost	int	14	cost of bcrypt algorithm used to hash passwords
sessionTimeout	duration string	1h	client session timeout
refreshTime	duration string	15m	the amount of time sessionTimeout is postponed when client communicates with server
rootURL	string	/api	The root URL of the API server
allowedOrigins	array of strings	empty array	origins allowed in CORS headers
dbConnectionString	string		connection string to connect to database

If an option doesn't have a default value, it is required in the configuration file. Duration strings are parsed as Go duration values.
