Our great sponsors
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Have you used generics?
I made a package like that: https://github.com/carlmjohnson/be. It’s probably my most frequent use of generics.

alecthomas/assert: A minimalist type-safe drop-in replacement for testify/require
I spent the last week working on one of these: https://github.com/carlmjohnson/be. Some initial thoughts I have are that the error messages basically don’t matter because if the test fails you’re going to dig into the line where the failure happens anyway.

Tools besides Go for a newbie
IDE: use whatever make you productive. I personally use vscode. VCS: git, as golang communities use github heavily as base for many libraries. AFAIK Linter: use staticcheck for linting as it looks like mostly used linting tool in go, supported by many also. In Vscode it will be recommended once you install go plugin. Libraries/Framework: actually the standard libraries already included many things you need, decent enough for your day-to-day development cycles(e.g. `net/http`). But here are things for extra: - Struct fields validator: validator - Http server lib: chi router , httprouter , fasthttp (for non standard http implementations, but fast) - Web Framework: echo , gin , fiber , beego , etc - Http client lib: most already covered by stdlib(net/http), so you rarely need extra lib for this, but if you really need some are: resty - CLI: cobra - Config: godotenv , viper - DB Drivers: sqlx , postgre , sqlite , mysql - nosql: redis , mongodb , elasticsearch - ORM: gorm , entgo , sqlc(codegen) - JS Transpiler: gopherjs - GUI: fyne - grpc: grpc - logging: zerolog - test: testify , gomock , dockertest - and many others you can find here

Network Error Handling
We have faced several network issue on our backend application written in golang with resty for inter service calls. We have seen large amount of network errors like `EOF, unexpected EOF, http: stream closed` because of which our APIs fail. Have you faced similar issue and what were the solutions you've implemented.
- Those who use an http client on top of/instead of the built in http package, what do you use and why?
- Libraries you use most of your projects?
-
Best packages?
Go-resty makes it a lot easier to create a http client and much more readable for developers.
-
How do I see the full details of an http request I send?
I don't use the simple http whenever i need to call any API from code . I just use resty its fairly easy to use and logging requests with it is quite easy

Building microservices in Go with Gin
We need to call PrinterService from the InvoiceGenerator. Therefore, we need an HTTP client in our project. Install Go’s resty HTTP client library with the following command.
