Gofigure

A minimal Go RESTful web application using Bootstrap and mux.

Getting Started

1. Be sure Go is properly installed, along with a configured $GOPATH.

2. Set the environment variables GITHUB_USERNAMEand CONFIG_CF. For development, set CONFIG_CF=config.development and for production set CONFIG_CF=config.production. The corresponding JSON config files can be found in /._config_files/.

$ export GITHUB_USERNAME=<your_github_username>
$ export CONFIG_CF=config.development

1. Set environment variables username, password, and database for Postgresql, and be sure to create them in postgresql as well:

$ export GOFIGURE_USERNAME=<your_postgres_username_for_database>
$ export GOFIGURE_PASSWORD=<your_password>
$ export GOFIGURE_DATABASE=<database_name>

Running

To run the application:

$ sh clean.sh
$ sh run.sh

Navigate to http://localhost:8080 and you should see the following page:

Project Structure

The main entry for the application is is main.go, where the configuration file is loaded, a database connection is created, and the application is started.

The server-side code is located in api/:

$ tree api/
api/
├── app
│   ├── app.go
│   └── app_test.go
├── config
│   ├── configuration.go
│   ├── configuration_test.go
│   ├── database.go
│   ├── directory.go
│   ├── log.go
│   └── server.go
├── handler
│   ├── handlers.go
│   └── handlers_test.go
└── model
    ├── database.go
    ├── database_test.go
    ├── message.go
    └── model.go

There is built in support for creating api endpoints:

// ./api/app/app.go
func (a *App) initializeRoutes(routeConfig *cfg.Configuration) {
	// Initialize config for handler
	handler.Initialize(routeConfig)
	// API Endpoints
	// Register your API endpoints here. E.g.:
	// api := a.Router.PathPrefix("/api/v1").Subrouter() <-- create appropriate
	// path prefix for Subrouter
	// api.Methods("GET").Path("/<dir>").HandlerFunc(<your_handler>)
	api := a.Router.PathPrefix("/api/v1").Subrouter()
	api.Methods("GET").Path("/greetings/hello/{name}").HandlerFunc(handler.GetHelloHandler)

All client-side code is located in the static/ directory:
