Golang/Gin codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Golang/Gin including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

Getting started

Install Golang

Make sure you have Go 1.13 or higher installed.

https://golang.org/doc/install

Environment Config

Set-up the standard Go environment variables according to latest guidance (see https://golang.org/doc/install#install).

Install Dependencies

From the project root, run:

go build ./...
go test ./...
go mod tidy

Testing

From the project root, run:

go test ./...

or

go test ./... -cover

or

go test -v ./... -cover

depending on whether you want to see test coverage and how verbose the output you want.

Todo

• More elegance config
• Test coverage (common & users 100%, article 0%)
• ProtoBuf support
• Code structure optimize (I think some place can use interface)
• Continuous integration (done)
