Fiber Generator

fiber-generator is a lightweight CLI tool designed to bootstrap Go Fiber applications with a clean, simple project structure. It automatically sets up directories and boilerplate code, allowing developers to start building their web applications immediately.

Overview

  • Creates a clean directory structure for views, public assets, and controllers
  • Generates a basic Fiber application setup
  • Includes HTMX integration for dynamic web interfaces

• Development Ready

  • Initializes a Go module with required dependencies
  • Provides pre-configured static file serving
  • Sets up basic routing structure

Requirements

• Go 1.20 or later
• Make (optional, recommended for development workflow)
