Laravel clone in go

This is an ongoing experiment to help me learn go by trying to clone the developer experience of Laravel or more accurate Lumen.

I don't know if this is actually a good idea to build applications in this manner. But maybe is a way to present go to PHP or Rails developers.

Features

Live update on file change (makefile sugar) + (cespare/reflex)
Dependencies folder vendor (GOPATH to /vendor)
Http Server (valyala/fasthttp)
Routing (qiangxue/fasthttp-routing)
ORM (jinzhu/gorm)
Migration (only folder like atm, looking for libraries)
Seeding (Basic)
Examples (User & Country CRUD)

Roadmap

Templating (valyala/quicktemplate)
Migration library
More Examples
Even More Examples
Auth
Config
Commands
Package Management (Masterminds/glide)

Docker

docker-compose up

Server is listening on http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Run migrations

docker-compose run api /code/bin/main migrate

Run seeding

docker-compose run api /code/bin/main db:seed

Now you can see it in acion at:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/countries

http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/users

Without Docker

Without docker yo need to install go and have MySQL up and running. Create a database "go_api" and root user with password "123456" or modify the file src/app/Helpers/DB.go with your MySQL credentials.

make install
make build-dev
./bin/main migrate
./bin/main db:seed
make dev #linux
make dev-mac #mac
