This is a Go Web Server Swiss Army Knife, where various web tools are explored and prototyped in Golang, and referenced to quickly get basic boilerplate projects going.
The base of this project was built off of this one by Florin Pățan and I suggest you have a look at it for useful links and resources:
-
It shows how to use net/http, and how to structure a Go project.
-
Dependency injection is used to insert a logger instance into the handler.
-
You can also notice how the test is constructed in order to provide testing for the handler.
-
A Docker container is available, thanks to the Dockerfile. It shows how to construct such containers.
On top of that the project includes the following:
-
A mysql database connection - using Go-MySQL-Driver through SQLDrivers
-
A basic websocket endpoint using (Gorilla WebSocket)[github.com/gorilla/websocket]
Clone this anywhere onto your computer and open the project in your editor.
If you prefer to use Go Mod run the following (using your own workspace directory):
export GO111MODULE=on && go mod init github.com/PeloDev/go-web-server-boilerplate
You can also create a .env file based on the .env.example template.
You will then have to export the variables before running the project. For example:
set -o allexport; source .env; set +o allexport
To run the project, in the root directory use:
go run main.go
