Buffalo POC

Buffalo is a go web framework that will build the majority of your code for you. Unlike goa, it assumes you will be adding more code.

Install buffalo go get -u -v github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo/buffalo go get -u github.com/gobuffalo/buffalo-goth

Some benefits:

• It will generate the DB tables and all CRUD operations for you.
• Literally 5 minutes to working api with DB
• buffalo dev runs the web app locally and you can test input - recompiles on save
• Supports TONS of auth methods, and can write your own

Please see https://gobuffalo.io/docs for more information

Auth can be tied in with many different providers, for example buffalo g goth-auth digitalocean discord will setup DO and discord auth

Auth video: https://gobuffalo.io/docs/generators#goth

Auth with username and password example (Custom auth example): https://github.com/gobuffalo/authrecipe/blob/master/actions/auth.go

Database Setup

Run docker run -d --name pgsql --net=host -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=password postgres:alpine get the md5 sum of password echo "password" | md5sum edit the database.yml

To add a new resource besides the ones defined in the design/002-data-server.md type the following: buffalo g resource newResource name id:int email address

This will create a new resource and a new migration in the migrations folder. Once all resources are defined run the below command to create the db.

Run buffalo db create -a

Then run buffalo db migrate to create all of the tables

CreRun the app locally

buffalo dev

Visit 127.0.01:3000 there you can test endpoints

Starting the Application

Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you. To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:

$ buffalo dev

If you point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 you should see a "Welcome to Buffalo!" page.

Congratulations! You now have your Buffalo application up and running.

What Next?

We recommend you heading over to http://gobuffalo.io and reviewing all of the great documentation there.

Good luck!
