template

template

Base template for Go servers. It is barebones by design to just provide a starting point for new projects.

Opinions

The template is opinionated in the following ways:

• Uses slog as the structured logger
• Uses chi as the router
• Uses goose for database migrations
• Uses sqlx to extend the stdlib sql package
• Uses env for loading environment variables into structs

Requirements

The project has a few requirements that need to be met in order to work.

• go 1.21 - The go programming language
• goose - Database migration tool
• reflex - File watcher
• make - Build automation tool
• golangci-lint - Linter

Usage

A new project can be created using the experimental gonew tool. More details about the tool can be found in this post.

1. Installation
