Packer API

The Packer API is a Go-based HTTP server designed to handle requests related to packing calculations. It exposes endpoints for updating pack sizes and calculating packs based on certain criteria.

Introduction

The Packer API is built to facilitate packing calculations, allowing users to update pack sizes and calculate packs based on the provided quantities. The API is implemented using Go's standard net/http package and follows a RESTful design for its endpoints.

Installation

To use the Packer API, follow these steps:

Prerequisites: Ensure you have Go installed.
Clone the Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.
Configure: Modify config.Config in the config package as needed. See Configuration for details.
Build and Run: Execute StartServer in main.go to start the HTTP server. Use the -config flag to specify the configuration file path, e.g., -config=config.json.

Configuration

Before running the Packer API, configure its settings by editing config.Config values:

{
  "http_port": 7070,
  "grpc_port": 7071,
  "packet_sizes": [250, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000]
}

Usage

Interact with the API using curl commands:

Update Pack Sizes

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"sizes": [10, 20, 30]}' http://localhost:7070/update-pack-sizes

Calculate Packs

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"quantity": 100}' http://localhost:7070/calculate-packs

Conditional gRPC Support

The Packer API supports conditional compilation for gRPC:

go build -tags grpc

TODO : Grpc implementation has not been done yet.
