Usage

You can configure our client using different ways:

1. Using flags

 go run cmd/main.go [flags]

Flags:

• baseUrl=BASEURL
• port=PORT
• endpoint=ENDPOINT

2. Using environment variables

This is used in case of no passed flags

 export VARNAME="my value"
 go run cmd/main.go 

Environment variables:

• DATETIME_BASEURL
• DATETIME_PORT
• DATETIME_ENDPOINT

2. Using the default configurations

Our application provides default configurations in case no flags are provided and environment variables aren't set

 go run cmd/main.go 

Default configs:

  const defaltBaseUrl = "http://localhost"
  const defaultEndpoint = "/datetime"
  const defaultPort = "8083"
