Welcome to Revel Starter

Getting Started

This strips out all the View/Index stuff from the revel starter. This can serve as a starter for a simple REST app

Start the web server:

get revel: go get github.com/revel/revel
get revel command line: go get github.com/revel/cmd/revel

Make sure $GOPATH is set and $GOPATH/bin is on the PATH

revel run revel-starter

Go to http://localhost:9000/orders and you'll see:

[
    {
        "ID": 1,
        "Event": "Event 1",
        "UserId": 1
    },
    {
        "ID": 2,
        "Event": "Event 2",
        "UserId": 2
    },
    {
        "ID": 3,
        "Event": "Event 3",
        "UserId": 3
    }
]
