restruct VS Gin

For me it's mux and my personal router restruct but since mux is not maintained anymore, maybe chi will be my goto for new projects that needs more stability in the api. Since restruct is a router based on structs, which I use for fast prototyping.

Not the best, but after using gorilla mux for routing for a while, I've decided to build my own https://github.com/altlimit/restruct

I've always just use gorilla mux and try to stay close to standard handlers as much as possible and code my request response process. As I've done this multiple times and actually been doing things over and over again I've developed my own router based on structs. Most of the time I develop something that's not going to be public api so I just want to easily build endpoints from struct method without defining new routes. I made https://github.com/altlimit/restruct for it. I also made it flexible so it can do a good amount of routing config. Then with same idea on authentication I made gauth. It's under the same org of that repository. Just to make my development for clients faster while sticking close to standards. I can't find myself using those frameworks that keeps introducing their own context somehow. I did use them before but somehow just doesn't feel right.

Now let’s define the functions that will be called whenever a request hits our API. All the functions will be referencing the context provided by the Gin web framework. Paste the following code below the sample slice we just added to api.go:

We will be using Gorilla Mux. As per their last update, they have a new group of maintainers, and their repos have shown activity to confirm that. The tutorial can be easily replicated in any other framework or library as well. So, while we will be using Gorilla Mux, you can try to replicate it in Gin or Fiber as well.

Now, let's dive into the fun part – creating our basic ToDo application using the powerful Gin framework. This section will walk you through the steps, breaking down the code into manageable snippets.

Thanks to the AWS Lambda Web Adapter, the application built as a (good old) REST/HTTP API using a familiar library (in this case, Gin.

Excellent Performance: Sponge is built on the gin framework, providing outstanding performance for web service development.

In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating realm of handling images in a Golang application, leveraging the power of the Gin framework for RESTful API development, MongoDB as a robust NoSQL database, and the mongo-driver library for seamless interaction with MongoDB. To store images efficiently, we'll explore the intricacies of GridFS, a specification within MongoDB for storing large files as separate chunks.

It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

I have created an application with Go in Gin-Gonic. In my frontend (Nuxt3/TypeScript) I always get a CORS error:

We use Gin web framework https://gin-gonic.com for the routing, Gin provides a balance between performance, ease of use and extensibility making it a preferred choice for building and running web applications in Go.
