This repository provides a boilerplate for building a RESTful API using Go, Gin, GORM and Postgres. This boilerplate is designed to help you kickstart your API development with a well-structured project setup and common functionalities.
-
Gin Framework: Utilizes the fast and lightweight Gin web framework to handle HTTP routing, middleware, and request handling efficiently.
-
GORM ORM: Integrates GORM for database interaction, making it easier to work with databases and manage models in a structured manner.
-
CRUD Operations: Includes basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations for a sample resource, demonstrating how to set up database models and perform API actions.
-
Live reload: Configured for live reload using air cli command to refresh the server upon code changes during development.
-
Testing: Provides a comprehensive testing setup using Go's built-in testing package and testify for testing API endpoints and components.
-
Configuration: Implements a configuration management system, allowing separation of environment-specific settings from the codebase.
The following API endpoints are available in this boilerplate:
GET /api/resource: Fetch a list of resources.GET /api/resource/:id: Fetch details of a specific resource.POST /api/resource: Create a new resource.PUT /api/resource/:id: Update details of a specific resource.DELETE /api/resource/:id: Delete a specific resource.
Contributions to this boilerplate are welcome! Feel free to submit pull requests or open issues for any improvements, bug fixes, or additional features you'd like to see.
