Ingredients

• Go

• [mongodb] ( https://www.mongodb.com/ )
• [mongo-go-driver] ( https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-go-driver )
• [oauth2] ( https://github.com/golang/oauth2 )
• [check] ( https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/check.v1 )
• [godotenv] ( https://github.com/joho/godotenv )

Directory Structure

By default, your project's structure will look like this:

• /controllers: contains the core code of your application.
• /database: contains mongo-go-driver connector.
• /helpers: contains helpers functions of your application.
• /middlewares: contains middlewares of your application.
• /routes: directory contains RESTful api routes of your application.
• /tests: contains tests of your application.
• /types: contains the types/structures of your application.

---

Environment Configuration

letsGo uses godotenv for setting environment variables. The root directory of your application will contain a .env.example file. copy and rename it to .env to set your environment variables.

You need to create a .env.testing file from .env.example for running tests.

---

Setting up

• clone letsGo
• change package name in go.mod to your package name
• change the internal package (controllers, tests, helpers etc.) paths as per your requirement
• setup .env and .env.testing
• run go mod download to install dependencies

OR letsgo-cli can be used to setup new project

install letsgo-cli

go get github.com/letsgo-framework/letsgo-cli

Create a new project

letsgo-cli init <import_namespace> <project_name>

• letsgo-cli init github.com myapp
  Generates a new project called myapp in your GOPATH inside github.com and installs the default plugins through the glide.

---

Run : go run main.go

---

Build : go build

---

Test : go test tests/main_test.go

Coverall :

go test -v -coverpkg=./... -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...

goveralls -coverprofile=coverage.out -service=travis-ci -repotoken $COVERALLS_TOKEN

---

Authentication

letsgo uses Go OAuth2 (https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/oauth2) for authentication.

---
