Getting Started

To get started with the project, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/GRACENOBLE/ecommerce.git
   cd ecommerce

2. Install dependencies:

   go mod tidy

3. Run the application:

   go run cmd/ecommerceBackend/main.go

4. Build binaries for multiple platforms:

   You can use the provided script to build binaries for Linux, macOS, and Windows. Create a file named build.sh in the root of your project and add the following content:

   #!/bin/bash
   set -e
   
   # Define target architectures in the format "GOOS/GOARCH"
   targets=("linux/amd64" "darwin/amd64" "windows/amd64")
   
   # Loop through each target
   for target in "${targets[@]}"; do
       # Split the target into OS and architecture
       IFS="/" read -r goos goarch <<< "$target"
       
       # Define output binary name (adjust path and name as needed)
       output="bin/ecommerceBackend-${goos}-${goarch}"
       
       echo "Building for $goos/$goarch..."
       
       # Set environment variables and build
       GOOS=$goos GOARCH=$goarch go build -o "$output" ./cmd/ecommerceBackend
   done
   
   echo "Builds completed!"

   Make the script executable:

   chmod +x build.sh

   Run the script to build the binaries:

   ./build.sh

5. Environment variables:

   Ensure you have a .env file in the root of your project with the necessary environment variables configured.
