go-wagen

Single binary web application generator for Go.

Creates boilerplate and does routine on a project start.

Less than in a minute you've got simple, clean and dockerized app:

Generates:

• project layout, according to community best practices
• Makefile for wrapping project related routines
• Dockerfile and docker-compose for local development
• containers for code, tests and golangci-lint
• configuration management with viper
• logging with logrus or zap
• routing with gorilla/mux or chi
• default health check, http handler and logger middleware

go-wagen is a starter pack for typical web application in Golang.

It doesn't aim to generalize the whole project workflow, push framework, or architecture. Consists of framework-agnostic components that are very common.

All contributions, issues, requests or feedback are warmly welcome.

Installation

Install pre-built binary on releases page:

1. curl -LJO https://github.com/groovili/go-wagen/releases/download/v1.0.0/go-wagen-osx.tar.gz
2. tar -f go-wagen-osx.tar.gz -x

or build from source code:
