Declaring struts

data.go

// Declare structs which describe your data

// Quote is a datastore entity that represents a single quote.
// It also serves as (a part of) a response of QuotesAPI.
// Each attribute has its own json tag.
// All the attributes in the struct start with a capital letter
// so that the attribute is accessible outside the package.
// A "-" tag name means that the datastore will ignore that attribute.
type Quote struct {
	UID     *datastore.Key `json:"uid" datastore:"-"`
	Author  string         `json:"author"`
	Message string         `json:"message"`
}

// A QuotesAPI struct defines all the endpoints of the quotes API.
// It will have functions for CRUD like Add, List etc.
type QuotesAPI struct {
}

// Quotes contains a slice of quotes. This type is needed because go-endpoints
// only supports pointers to structs as input and output types.
type Quotes struct {
	Quotes []Quote `json:"quotes"`
}

// AddRequest contains all the fields needed to create a new Quote.
type AddRequest struct {
	Author  string
	Message string
}
