Create an HTTP Server in Go - Part 1
In this video, we will dive into the implementation of a basic HTTP inventory handler in Go using the newFakeStore function.
What You Will Learn:
How to create a basic HTTP server using Go's http package.
The importance of concurrency control with mutexes to ensure thread-safe operations.
How to define and register HTTP handlers for specific routes, focusing on handling GET requests.
Techniques for sorting and encoding data in JSON format for easy API responses.
Code Walkthrough:
We will start by defining a mutex for safe concurrent access to our inventory.
Next, we will create an inventory map to store items and set up an HTTP multiplexer to handle incoming requests.
You will see how to implement an endpoint (/inventory) that retrieves and returns a sorted list of items in JSON format.
