wormhole
An example todo application with ember and Golang for writing idiomatic/maintainable/structured Golang backend web applications.
What problem does this solve?
People always advise using standard http library to create web applications rather than a lot of libraries out there, this repo explains how to start and structure your code. This is an example (CRUD) web application and not a library. Use this to bootstrap your web application (you may call this a tiny framework). It could also be helpful if you are looking for a way to connect emberjs with golang.
Features
- Model, view, controller
- Filters (Middlewares)
- Pass data from Filters to controllers
- Error response to the requests
- Validations
- Router with namespaces and api versioning
- static file access
All the above can be easily tweaked and extended. As I said this is just an example.
Installation
You will need Golang and mysql installed. Make sure that $GOPATH and $GOROOT are set correctly.
You will require the following libraries
gorp
go get github.com/coopernurse/gorp
mysql driver
go get github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql
Download and install wormhole
go get github.com/mantishK/wormhole
Create and configure database
Create a database named wormhole.
Modify wormhole/storage/mysql.go. Assign variables s.userName and s.pass with your database username and password respectively.
*Note: Modify dbIp if you are not running database on localhost.
Install and run
Move to the directory where wormhole is downloaded ($GOPATH/src/github.com/mantishK/wormhole) and install it
go install
$GOPATH/bin/wormhole
That's it. You can test it by going to localhost:8080 on your browser.
Todo
- User signup/login feature
- Authorization
- Authentication
- A better readme explaining how to extend/tweak
- A lot more better standards
