Agentic Mode Unleashed: Build a Custom Quote API in Go with Gin, IoC & SOLID Principles

Welcome to our deep dive into Agentic Mode in Qodo Gen Chat! In this video, we build a robust quote generation service using the Gin framework in Go that not only fetches a random joke from the Chuck Norris API but also transforms and personalizes it—all while following best practices for clean, testable code.

What you’ll learn in this video:
• Setting Up Your API Endpoint:
We create a Gin-powered /quote endpoint that accepts a name from the URL path. This parameter is used later to replace “Chuck Norris” in the joke and add a personal touch.
• Fetching and Processing Data:
Our code calls the Chuck Norris API at https://api.chucknorris.io/jokes/random, extracts the "value" field from the JSON response, and then processes the joke further.
• Filtering Out Swear Words:
To ensure the output is appropriate, we filter the joke against words listed in an external swearwords.txt file. Any matched words are replaced with "REDACTED".
• Personalization:
After cleaning the joke, we swap out any instances of “Chuck Norris” with the provided name parameter, creating a unique, custom quote.
• Clean Shutdown Handling:
We demonstrate how to handle OS signals for a graceful shutdown of your application, ensuring that your service exits cleanly even in production environments.
• Clean Code and Best Practices:
Watch as we write idiomatic Go code that’s both testable and maintainable. We employ Inversion of Control (IoC) dependency injection and follow SOLID principles to create a robust architecture.

Whether you’re an experienced Go developer or just starting out, this video provides a clear, practical guide to building the code to run as a microservices that are both efficient and easy to maintain.

Enjoy the video, and happy coding with Qodo!
