A quick seed for the golang-gorilla stack

Getting Started

• Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/joelewis/gorilla-seed
• Update the config variables in main.go (DB_URL, SERVER_PORT, etc.)
• Rename the directory's name to your app's name. mv /path/to/gorilla-seed /path/to/my-app-name
• Update import paths. Eg. import "path/to/gorilla-seed/models" to import "path/to/my-app-name/models"
• Compile: go build
• Initialize tables: ./my-app-name inittables
• Run server : ./my-app-name

What is inside?

Nothing much.

• A developer friendly ORM - gorm
• A user model with a basic setup of gorilla/sessions for authentication. There is no pages or handlers for user signups or login/logout. It is left for you to implement.

Where to start?

• Define the route in routes.go
• Add corresponding handler in controllers/controllers.go
• Add the model structs in models/models.go
