Overview of this book

Go is a modern programming language with capabilities to enable high-performance app development. With its growing web framework ecosystem, Go is a preferred choice for building complete web apps. This practical guide will enable you to take your Go skills to the next level building full stack apps. This book walks you through creating and developing a complete modern web service from auth, middleware, server-side rendering, databases, and modern frontend frameworks and Go-powered APIs. You’ll start by structuring the app and important aspects such as networking, before integrating all the different parts together to build a complete web product. Next, you’ll learn how to build and ship a complete product by starting with the fundamental building blocks of creating a Go backend. You’ll apply best practices for cookies, APIs, and security, and level up your skills with the fastest growing frontend framework, Vue. Once your full stack application is ready, you’ll understand how to push the app to production and be prepared to serve customers and share it with the world. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and ship secure, scalable, and complete products and how to combine Golang with existing products using best practices.

Designing the database

In this section, we will look at how to design the database to allow us to store information for the fitness tracking application. The following screenshot shows a mockup of the application:

Looking at these functionalities, we will look at designing a database structure that will look like the following entity relationship diagram:

An entity relationship diagram shows the relationships of entity sets stored in a database.

Let’s drill further into each table to understand the data that they contain:

Table Name

Description

Users

This table contains user information for login purposes. Passwords will be stored as a hash, not plaintext.

Images

This table contains images of exercises that users want to do. This table will store all the exercise images that the user uploads.

Exercises

This table contains the name of the exercise that the user wants to do. Users will define what kind of exercise they want to do.

Sets

This table contains the number of sets of each exercise that the user wants to do.

Workouts

This table contains the workouts that the user wants to do. Users define a workout as a combination of exercises with the number of sets that they want to do.

The trade-off we are making to store images in the database is to simplify the design; in reality, this might not be suitable for bigger images and production. Now that we have defined the database structure and understand what kind of data it will store, we need to look at how to implement it. One of the major criteria that we want to focus on is to completely separate writing SQL from the code; this way, we have a clear separation between the two, which will allow higher maintainability.
