Configuration

1. Create database and user in MySQL, and grant privileges to user.

CREATE DATABASE buz;
CREATE USER 'foo'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'bar';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON buz.* TO 'foo'@'localhost';

2. Create a file named conf.yaml in the project's root directory.

sql:
  username: foo
  password: bar
  db_name: buz

3. To generate API doc, you need to execute the following commands:

go install github.com/swaggo/swag/cmd/swag@latest  # download swag, a doc generator
swag init  # docs will be written into `docs/` directory

4. Compile and run this project. You will find API doc in http://localhost:1323/api/doc/index.html on default.
5. Change the go module name of this project to whatever you like.

Usage

1. To create tables, add structs in model/. model/foo.go is an example of such struct. Then, add the struct to DB.AutoMigrate in model/init.go.
2. Add business logics in app/controller/, then add router in app/routers.go.
3. Write API doc alongside with the controller function. app/controller/foo.go is an example.
