Provides essentials that most web applications need - MVC pattern and user authorisation that can be easily extended.
It consists of 3 core components:
- Goji - A web microframework for Golang - http://goji.io/
- Gorilla web toolkit sessions - cookie (and filesystem) sessions - http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/sessions
- mgo - MongoDB driver for the Go language - http://labix.org/mgo
Default Project requires Go, MongoDB and few other tools installed.
Instructions below have been tested on Ubuntu 14.04.
If you don't have Go installed, follow installation instructions described here: http://golang.org/doc/install
Then install remaining dependecies:
sudo apt-get install make git mercurial subversion bzr
MongoDB:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv 7F0CEB10
sudo echo 'deb http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit dist 10gen' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mongodb-org
No go to your GOPATH location and run:
go get github.com/elcct/amazingwebsite
And then:
go install github.com/elcct/amazingwebsite
In your GOPATH directory you can create config.json file:
{
"secret": "secret",
"public_path": "./src/github.com/elcct/amazingwebsite/public",
"template_path": "./src/github.com/elcct/amazingwebsite/views",
"database": {
"hosts": "localhost",
"database": "defaultproject"
}
}
Finally, you can run:
./bin/defaultproject
That should output something like:
2014/06/19 15:31:15.386961 Starting Goji on [::]:8000
And it means you can now direct your browser to localhost:8000
