chassis

This is a basic microservice chassis that makes it easy to do the default things and possible to do more complex things

HTTP Server

Gin is included as the HTTP server. A standard health/ping route is included by default. The AddRoute() method is the preferred way of adding additional routes. See the example below.

Commandline

Cobra is used for the commands. migrate and serve are included commands with reasonable flags

Logging

Logsrus provides semi-structured logging. Debug output can be triggered with the -D option

Database

Postgres is supported through the sqlx package with migration support through golang-migrate/migrate/v4

Example

package main

import (
	"github.com/alexlovelltroy/chassis"
	"github.com/gin-gonic/gin"
	"github.com/google/uuid"
	"github.com/spf13/cobra"
)

type ExampleService struct {
	*chassis.Microservice
}

type ExampleServiceConfig struct {
	chassis.MicroserviceConfig
	parallelism int
}

type Example struct {
	ID   uuid.UUID `json:"id" db:"id"`
	Name string    `json:"name" db:"name"`
}

func (s *ExampleService) CreateExample(c *gin.Context) {
	s.DB.Exec("INSERT INTO example (name) VALUES ($1)", "example")
	c.JSON(200, gin.H{
		"message":    "value",
		"statusCode": "statusCode",
	})
}

func main() {
	cfg := &ExampleServiceConfig{
		MicroserviceConfig: chassis.DefaultMicroserviceConfig(),
		parallelism:        1,
	}
	service := ExampleService{
		Microservice: chassis.NewMicroservice(cfg),
	}
	chassis.ServeCmd.Run = func(cmd *cobra.Command, args []string) {
		service.Init() // Establish connection(s) to external services and configure the gin router
		service.AddRoute("POST", "/example", service.CreateExample)
		service.Serve() // Start the gin router
	}
	chassis.Execute()
}
