Golang learning Web application development based on AbanteCart

Golang is a fast, efficient and powerful programming language with powerful concurrent processing capabilities. It is also widely used in the field of web application development. This article will introduce Golang's web application development based on AbanteCart (a free and open source e-commerce platform).

1. Introduction to AbanteCart

AbanteCart is a free and open source e-commerce platform that can help developers easily build a fully functional online store. AbanteCart is characterized by strong scalability, easy customization, ease of use and high performance.

2. Start Golang development

In order to start Golang development, we need to install the Golang environment. You can download the installation program for the corresponding operating system from https://golang.org/dl/ for installation.

Next, we will use Golang’s web framework gin to create a web application based on AbanteCart.

1. Create a project

We first need to create a Golang project. Use the following command:

mkdir abantecart
cd abantecart
go mod init github.com/username/abantecart

2. Introduce the required dependency packages

Create a file named go.mod in the project root directory, and then enter the following content:

module github.com/username/abantecart
go 1.16

require (
    github.com/gin-gonic/gin v1.6.3
    github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql v1.6.0
)

This file describes our project and its dependencies. Here we specify the gin framework and go-sql-driver/mysql driver version.

Use the following command to download the dependencies:

go mod download

Now we are ready to start developing our web application.

3. Connect to the database

AbanteCart uses the MySQL database to store data. We need to use the go-sql-driver/mysql driver to connect to the database:

import (
    "database/sql"
    "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
)

func main() {
    db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@/dbname")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    defer db.Close()
}

Here, we use the sql.Open function to open a MySQL database connection. Please replace "user", "password" and "dbname" with the username, password and database name of your own MySQL database.

4. Create API routing

In order to create API routing, we will use the gin framework. We can use gin's Default function in the main function to create a new route:

import (
    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
)

func main() {
    router := gin.Default()

    defer router.Run(":8080")
}

Here, we use the gin.Default function to create a default gin engine, and then call the Run function to start the service and listen on the port to 8080.

5. Handling API requests

Now that we have created the API route, we can start handling requests from clients. We will use gin's GET function to create a GET request handler:

func main() {
    // ...

    router.GET("/products", func(c *gin.Context) {
        rows, err := db.Query(`
            SELECT products.product_id, products.product_name, products.product_price, products.product_quantity
            FROM abt_product_description
            INNER JOIN abt_products
            ON abt_product_description.product_id = abt_products.product_id
        `)

        var products []Product

        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("Error retrieving products from database: %v", err)
        } else {
            for rows.Next() {
                var product Product
                err := rows.Scan(&product.ID, &product.Name, &product.Price, &product.Quantity)
                
                if err != nil {
                    log.Printf("Error scanning product data: %v", err)
                    continue
                }
                
                products = append(products, product)
            }
        }

        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "products": products,
        })
    })
}

In this GET request handler, we use the db.Query function to retrieve product data from the database. We then convert this data into a Product object and add it to an array containing all the products. Finally, we return this array to the client as a JSON response.

6. Complete code example

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    "log"
    "net/http"

    "github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
    _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
)

type Product struct {
    ID       int    `json:"id"`
    Name     string `json:"name"`
    Price    int    `json:"price"`
    Quantity int    `json:"quantity"`
}

func main() {
    db, err := sql.Open("mysql", "user:password@/dbname")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    defer db.Close()

    router := gin.Default()

    router.GET("/products", func(c *gin.Context) {
        rows, err := db.Query(`
            SELECT products.product_id, products.product_name, products.product_price, products.product_quantity
            FROM abt_product_description
            INNER JOIN abt_products
            ON abt_product_description.product_id = abt_products.product_id
        `)

        var products []Product

        if err != nil {
            log.Printf("Error retrieving products from database: %v", err)
        } else {
            for rows.Next() {
                var product Product
                err := rows.Scan(&product.ID, &product.Name, &product.Price, &product.Quantity)

                if err != nil {
                    log.Printf("Error scanning product data: %v", err)
                    continue
                }

                products = append(products, product)
            }
        }

        c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{
            "products": products,
        })
    })

    defer router.Run(":8080")
}

7. Run the application

Use the following command to start the application:

go run main.go

Now we have completed the Development of AbanteCart's web application, after running the application we can test it on the web page.
