A Sample url shortener app to test Keploy integration capabilities using Echo and PostgreSQL

Don’t have Keploy installed yet?

Before running this sample, make sure Keploy is installed on your system.

👉 Go to Installation Guide

Clone a sample URL shortener app 🧪

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-go.git && cd samples-go/echo-sql
go mod download

First things first, update the postgres host on line 41 in main.go to postgres from localhost.

We will be using Docker compose to run the application as well as Postgres

Lights, Camera, Record! 🎥

keploy record -c "docker compose up" --container-name "echoApp" --build-delay 50

--build-delay adds a buffer (in seconds) to allow images to build/pull and services to start before Keploy begins interception. If your services are already up, you can omit it.

Make API Calls using cURL command. Keploy with capture those calls to generate the test-suites containing testcases and data mocks.

Generate testcases

To generate testcases we just need to make some API calls. You can use Postman or simply curl

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8082/url \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "url": "https://github.com"
}'

this will return the shortened url. The ts would automatically be ignored during testing because it'll always be different.

{
  "ts": 1647802058801841100,
  "url": "http://localhost:8082/GuwHCgoQ"
}

Redirect to original URL from shortened URL

1. By using Curl Command

curl  http://localhost:8082/GuwHCgoQ

2. Or by querying through the browser http://localhost:8082/GuwHCgoQ

Now both these API calls were captured as editable testcases and written to keploy/tests folder. The keploy directory would also have mocks file that contains all the outputs of postgres operations. Here's what the folder structure look like:

Now, let's see the magic! ✨💫

Want to see if everything works as expected?

Run the Testcases

Time to put things to the test 🧪

keploy test -c "docker compose up" --container-name "echoApp" --build-delay 50 --delay 10

output should look like

So no need to setup fake database/apis like Postgres or write mocks for them. Keploy automatically mocks them and, The application thinks it's talking to Postgres 😄

Wrapping it up 🎉

Congrats on the journey so far! You've seen Keploy's power, flexed your coding muscles, and had a bit of fun too! Now, go out there and keep exploring, innovating, and creating! Remember, with the right tools and a sprinkle of fun, anything's possible.😊🚀

Happy coding! ✨👩‍💻👨‍💻✨

A Sample url shortener app to test Keploy integration capabilities using Echo and PostgreSQL

Don’t have Keploy installed yet?

Before running this sample, make sure Keploy is installed on your system.

👉 Go to Installation Guide

Clone a sample URL shortener app 🧪

git clone https://github.com/keploy/samples-go.git && cd samples-go/echo-sql
go mod download

We'll be running our sample application right on Linux, but just to make things a tad more thrilling, we'll have the database (Postgres) chill on Docker. Ready? Let's get the party started!🎉 Using the docker-compose file we will start our Postgres instance:-

docker-compose up postgres

Since we are using docker to run the application, we need to update the postgres host on line 41 in main.go, update the host to localhost.

Now, we will create the binary of our application:-

go build -o echo-psql-url-shortener

Capture the Testcases

sudo -E PATH=$PATH keploy record -c "./echo-psql-url-shortener"

Generate testcases

To genereate testcases we just need to make some API calls. You can use Postman, Hoppscotch, or simply curl

curl --request POST \
  --url http://localhost:8082/url \
  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
  --data '{
  "url": "https://google.com"
}'

this will return the shortened url.

{
  "ts": 1645540022,
  "url": "http://localhost:8082/Lhr4BWAi"
}

Redirect to original url from shòrtened url

curl http://localhost:8082/Lhr4BWAi

or by querying through the browser http://localhost:8082/Lhr4BWAi

Now, let's see the magic! 🪄💫

Now both these API calls were captured as a testcase and should be visible on the Keploy CLI. You should be seeing an app named keploy folder with the test cases we just captured and data mocks created

Run the captured testcases

Now that we have our testcase captured, run the test file.

sudo -E PATH=$PATH keploy test -c "./echo-psql-url-shortener"

So no need to setup dependencies like postgres, web-go locally or write mocks for your testing.

The application thinks it's talking to postgres 😄

We will get output something like this:
