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
