All the API code is in the internal package
- handlers contains the API handlers which will define the routes of the API
- dto contains all the model structs for the API
- controllers contains the business logic for the API
- app contains the main function to start the server
The API test code will be written inside the internal/controllers dir only and will follow table driven tests approach
pkg contains the common code which can be used across multiple projects. We can add directories in like mongo, repository, etc.
cmd contains the main function to start the server
util contains the utility functions which can be used across the project.
Controllers and Handlers will not be responsible for sending of data to the client. They will only be responsible for processing the data and sending it to the client.
The response will be sent by the util.HandlerWrapper function. This makes the code more testable and maintainable.
