Go Figure API

A Go backend service for the go figure web app. This is inspired by the Fourier series circle drawings video by 3Blue1Brown.

This application accepts a series of continuous points captured at even time intervals, and a requested number of draw vectors to calculate. The calculation job is put onto a queue that is processed continuously. Once the job is complete, the results are available at the drawing's uri as a list of vectors with real and imaginary parts that can then be animated.

Tests

Tests require the presence of a mysql database connection. You can easily get this by running this from the project root:

docker-compose up

Wait for the mysql container spin up and then run the tests like:

docker-compose exec api sh -c "go test -v ./.../test"
