Daily forex data app

Learning project using SvelteKit, Go and Postgresql

Preconditions

• Linux OS (Ubuntu based) - should work on Windows as well, but I did not try it
• Node LTS
• git
• postgresql
  • create a database cnb_forex with user, who have rights to create tables. You can use shell scripts in /bin/db folder. Modify them as you see fit.
• browser like Chromium or Firefox

Installation

• clone via git clone [email protected]:radekBednarik/cnb_forex.git
• create a database and user using scripts in /bin/db folder
• switch to /data-getter folder and run go mod tidy and go build main.go
• then run USER=<username> PASSWORD=<password> ./main to download all data. Data are downloaded from public Czech National Bank website starting from current date and going backwards to the date set in /data-getter/config.toml file. If you leave the setting, the download can take a while, since we are not using concurrency since we do not want to get banned on the server.
• switch to /server folder and run go mod tidy and go build main.go
• start server using USER=<username> PASSWORD=<password> ./main
• switch to /frontend and run npm install
• then run npm run dev to start dev server

App is ready to be used.
