i want to test this code. im confused about this repo. can anyone help me?

[placid ridge]

hey guys can anyone check this repo and tell me why this .py script is written? and if its possible to test this code without that py file? https://github.com/dreamsofcode-io/golang-microservice-course-nn/blob/main/scripts/publish-orders.py

i have written a go code alternative to this py file. ```package main

import (
"bytes"
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"math/rand"
"net/http"
"time"

"github.com/google/uuid"

)

type LineItem struct {
ItemID string json:"item_id"
Quantity int json:"quantity"
Price int json:"price"
}

type Order struct {
CustomerID string json:"customer_id"
LineItems []LineItem json:"line_items"
}

func main() {
rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano()))

itemIDs := make([]string, 1000)
for i := 0; i < 1000; i++ {
    itemIDs[i] = uuid.New().String()
}

customers := make([]string, 100)
for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
    customers[i] = uuid.New().String()
}

for i := 0; i < 120; i++ {
    customer := customers[rand.Intn(len(customers))]

    numLineItems := rand.Intn(10) + 1

    lineItems := make([]LineItem, numLineItems)
    for j := 0; j < numLineItems; j++ {
        itemID := itemIDs[rand.Intn(len(itemIDs))]
        lineItems[j] = LineItem{
            ItemID:   itemID,
            Quantity: rand.Intn(10) + 1,
            Price:    rand.Intn(10000) + 1,
        }
    }

    order := Order{
        CustomerID: customer,
        LineItems:  lineItems,
    }

    orderJSON, err := json.Marshal(order)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("failed to marshal order:", err)
        return
    }

    resp, err := http.Post("http://localhost:3000/orders", "application/json", bytes.NewBuffer(orderJSON))
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("failed to send request:", err)
        return
    }
    defer resp.Body.Close()

    fmt.Println("posted order", i+1)
}

}

can you tell me what file name and folder name you give here

it looks like it's just generating 100 customers and 1000 products as test data

it's likely written in python for simplicitys sake, no need to compile as it's not part of the application

[placid ridge]

ok thanks for clarifying. i wrote go code alternative to that python code above. also is there any other way to test this other than this method?

[peak acorn]

I don't think it's so much as a test as just putting some values into the database so you can actually see things in the app

[placid ridge]

yeah is this sometihng you include with your repo or just use it only for our testing?

[peak acorn]

personally, probably yeah

[placid ridge]

that means just for testing and not for repo right?

thanks bro!!

[peak acorn]

yeah it's literally only for use while developing the application - you need some data to show it's working

[placid ridge]

ok thanks!

[ionic steeple]

I'd include it

just as example scripts

they don't have to work in the future necessarily
