Objectives

Groupie Trackers consists of receiving a given API and manipulating the data contained in it in order to create a website displaying the information.

• You will be given an API, that is made up of four parts:

  1. artists: Contains information about some bands and artists like their name(s), image, in which year they began their activity, the date of their first album and the members.

  2. locations: Contains their last and/or upcoming concert locations.

  3. dates: Contains their last and/or upcoming concert dates.

  4. relation: Links the data of all the other parts, artists, dates and locations.

• Given all this, you should build a user-friendly website where you can display the band’s info through several data visualizations (examples : blocks, cards, tables, lists, pages, graphics, etc). It is up to you to decide how you will display it.

• This project also focuses on the creation and visualization of events/actions.

  • The event/action you need to implement is a client call to the server (client-server). We can say that it is a feature of your choice that needs to trigger an action. This action necessitates communication with the server in order to receive information (request-response).
  • An event consists of a system that responds to some kind of action triggered by the client, time, or any other factor.

Instructions

• The backend must be written in Go.
• The website and server cannot crash at any time.
• All the pages must work correctly, and you must take care of any errors.
• The code must respect the good practices.
• It is recommended to have test files for unit testing.

Allowed packages

• Only the standard Go packages are allowed.

Usage

• You can see an example of a RESTful API here

This project will help you learn about:

• Manipulation and storage of data.
• JSON files and format.
• HTML.
• Event creation and visualization.
• Client-server.
