A modern Go REST API boilerplate ecosystem with powerful tooling and code generation capabilities.

Galaplate is organized into three main repositories that work together to provide a complete development experience:

└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘     └─────────────────┘

The reference implementation and documentation hub. Contains a fully working REST API with authentication, database operations, background jobs, and comprehensive documentation.

Use this to:

• See working examples of all features
• Learn best practices and patterns
• Access complete documentation
• Get started quickly with a full-featured API

The foundational library containing all reusable components and utilities. This is the heart of the Galaplate ecosystem.

Features:

• 🌐 Fiber-based HTTP router with middleware support
• 🗄️ GORM integration for MySQL and PostgreSQL
• 🎮 Console command system with built-in generators
• 🔄 Background job queue with cron scheduling
• 📝 Structured logging with rotation
• ✅ Validation & DTO support
• 🔐 Authentication utilities

The command-line tool for generating new projects and scaffolding code. Cross-platform binary for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Templates Available:

• API ✅ - REST API with database integration
• Full 🚧 - Full-stack with frontend (coming soon)
• Micro 🚧 - Lightweight microservice (coming soon)

# Quick install to /usr/local/bin
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/galaplate/cli/main/install.sh -o /tmp/install.sh && chmod +x /tmp/install.sh && sudo /tmp/install.sh

# Or install to custom directory
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/galaplate/cli/main/install.sh -o /tmp/install.sh && chmod +x /tmp/install.sh && sudo /tmp/install.sh -d ~/.local/bin

# Create a new API project
galaplate new my-api

# With custom database
galaplate new my-app --template=api --db=mysql

# Custom module name
galaplate new my-project --module=github.com/myuser/my-project

cd my-api

# Setup database
go run main.go console db:up

# Generate code
go run main.go console make:model User
go run main.go console make:controller UserController

# Start development server
make dev

Built-in generators for rapid development:

go run main.go console make:model User       # Generate models
go run main.go console make:controller API   # Generate controllers  
go run main.go console make:job EmailJob     # Generate background jobs
go run main.go console make:dto UserRequest  # Generate DTOs
go run main.go console db:up                 # Run migrations

Robust job queue system with cron scheduling:

// Queue jobs
queue.Dispatch(&jobs.EmailNotification{
    To: "[email protected]",
    Subject: "Welcome!",
})

// Schedule recurring tasks
scheduler.AddFunc("@daily", func() {
    // Daily cleanup task
})

Seamless database operations with GORM:

// Auto-migrations
db.AutoMigrate(&User{})

// Or create migration using dbmate
go run main.go console db:create create_users_table
Creating migration: db/migrations/20250831001745_create_users_table.sql
go run main.go console db:up

// Query with pagination
users := pagination.Paginate(db, &User{}, page, limit)
