Hi! gobete is short for "Go backend template". It is a boilerplate backend API built with Go and the Fiber web framework. It provides a solid foundation for building RESTful APIs.

• User authentication and management.
• Connection to MySQL database. Using GORM as the ORM layer.
• Easy to understand and extend, as long as you follow the existing structure and understand Go and Fiber basics. Everything starts from main.go. The internal directory contains the core application logic, organized into subdirectories for different modules and functionalities.
• Environment configuration using .env file.

• Provide a robust and scalable backend for any web application.
• Ensure security and efficiency in handling user data and requests.
• Facilitate easy integration with frontend applications and other services.
• Maintain clean and maintainable codebase for future development.
• Follow best practices in Go programming and web development.
• Support OpenAPI/Swagger documentation for easy API exploration and testing.
• Implement comprehensive error handling and logging.
• Use middleware for tasks like logging, CORS, and authentication.
• Enable hot reloading during development for faster iteration.
• Support deployment in various environments, including local, staging, and production.
• Unit and integration testing to ensure code quality and reliability.

To get started with the gobete API, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/sonyarianto/gobete.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd gobete

3. Install the required dependencies:

   go mod tidy

4. Set up your environment variables: Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the required values.

5. Run the application:

   go run main.go

6. The API will be available at http://localhost:9000 (or the port you specified in the .env file).

For development, you can use air for hot reloading. Install it using:

go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

Then run:

air

This project using lefthook for Git hooks. Follow the instructions at lefthook installation guide.

Run the following command to install the Git hooks defined in this project:

lefthook install

This will set up the pre-commit hook to run commands before each commit. See on lefthook.yml for more details.

• Add unit and integration tests.
• Implement more advanced features like role-based access control.
• Audit logging and monitoring.
• Better documentation and examples.
• Docker support for easier deployment.

Contributions are welcome! Please open an issue or submit a pull request for any improvements or bug fixes.
