Use
context.Contextfor database calls: Pass a context through the function calls and use it with theQueryRowContextandQueryContextmethods to allow for proper cancellation and timeouts. -
Replace
anywithinterface{}: The[]anytype is not valid in Go. Replace it with[]interface{}. -
Error handling: Make sure to check the error returned by
rows.Scan()even inside a loop. This will help in debugging issues if any. -
Use constants for case types: In the
GetTopCountriesByCaseTypeForUserfunction, consider using constants for case types like "confirmed", "deaths", and "recovered" instead of string literals. -
Remove
fmt.Println()calls in production code: Remove debugging calls likefmt.Println()before deploying the code to production. -
Avoid SQL injections: In the
buildTopCountriesByCaseTypeForUserQueryfunction, directly concatenating thecaseTypestring into the SQL query string might lead to SQL injection. Validate the input

it has a side effect of calling the FetchDailyDataForCountry function recursively. This may cause issues with the stack as retries increase. I would suggest refactoring it to return a boolean indicating whether a retry is needed and handling the retry in the FetchDailyDataForCountry function itself.

unhandled errors will go silent causing data issues

the code can further improved by separating the API logic from the business logic. Consider creating separate files for the logic of each resource (e.g., users, countries, covid statistics) and then import them into the api.go file. This will make it easier to maintain and understand the codebase.

why did you support this?

why did you create REST APIs and graphql support?
