About (In progress)

Project for building RESTful APIs and microservices using Golang, mux and Mariadb

Inspiring by node_express_respository

We focus on:

• Easy to start
• Reduce copied code
• Readable code
• Simple to implement new api for a model like: search, create, update
• etc

Features

• Mux + Mariadb
• Uses Gorm as ORM
• Docker support
• Load environment variables from env file
• Authentication and Authorization with JWT
• Support repositories
• Default search feature

Requirements

• Golang
• Docker

Structure motivation

1. We separate routes into many files based on main model. ex:

user.js

- POST / => /user/
- POST /login => /user/login
- POST /verify => /user/verify
- GET /  => /user/
- GET /version => /user/version

...

3. Repositories is used to abstract the data layer, making our application more flexible to maintain.

Methods:

• create
• update
• findById
• find
• paginate

4. Controllers handles requests using repository layer

5. Criteria: Default criteria supported fast search on a repository, push criteria to your request using below code

http://api.local/users?search=name:John%20Doe

or

http://api.local/users?search=name:John&searchFields=name:like

or

http://api.local/users?search=email:john@gmail.com;name=john&searchFields=email:=;name:like

By default DefaultCriteria makes its queries using the AND comparison operator for each query parameter.

http://api.local/users?search=email:john@gmail.com;age=18&searchFields=email:=;age:>=

The above example will execute the following query:

SELECT * FROM users WHERE age >= 18 AND email = 'john@gmail.com';

In order for it to query using the OR, pass the searchJoin parameter as shown below:

http://api.local/users?search=email:john@gmail.com;age=18&searchFields=email:=;age:>=&searchJoin=or

Filtering fields

http://api.local/users?fields=id;name

Sorting the results

http://api.local/users?order=name:desc

6.Domain logic should put to services folders
