Exemplary real world application built with Golang + Gin

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 the Golang

https://golang.org/doc/install

Environment Config

make sure your ~/.*shrc have those varible:

➜  echo $GOPATH
/Users/zitwang/test/
➜  echo $GOROOT
/usr/local/go/
➜  echo $PATH
...:/usr/local/go/bin:/Users/zitwang/test//bin:/usr/local/go//bin

Install Govendor & Fresh

I used Govendor manage the package, and Fresh can help build without reload

https://github.com/kardianos/govendor

https://github.com/pilu/fresh

cd
go get -u github.com/kardianos/govendor
go get -u github.com/pilu/fresh
go get -u golang.org/x/crypto/...

Start

➜  govendor sync
➜  govendor add +external
➜  fresh

Testing

➜  go test -v ./... -cover

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)
