This is an ongoing experiment to help me learn go by trying to clone the developer experience of Laravel or more accurate Lumen.

I don't know if this is actually a good idea to build applications in this manner. But maybe is a way to present go to PHP or Rails developers.

• Live update on file change (makefile sugar) + (cespare/reflex)
• Dependencies folder vendor (GOPATH to /vendor)
• Http Server (valyala/fasthttp)
• Routing (qiangxue/fasthttp-routing)
• ORM (jinzhu/gorm)
• Migration (only folder like atm, looking for libraries)
• Seeding (Basic)
• Examples (User & Country CRUD)

• Templating (valyala/quicktemplate)
• Migration library
• More Examples
• Even More Examples
• Auth
• Config
• Commands
• Package Management (Masterminds/glide)

8 directories, 13 files

docker-compose up

Server is listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080/

docker-compose run api /code/bin/main migrate

docker-compose run api /code/bin/main db:seed

Now you can see it in acion at:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/countries

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/users

Without docker yo need to install go and have MySQL up and running. Create a database "go_api" and root user with password "123456" or modify the file src/app/Helpers/DB.go with your MySQL credentials.

make install
make build-dev
./bin/main migrate
./bin/main db:seed
make dev #linux
make dev-mac #mac
