websocket VS Testify

Aria is a lightweight, event-driven WebSocket framework for Go. It is inspired by olahol/melody and built on top of coder/websocket.

As a regular Go user, I agree with this take. Though the tools exist, error wrapping and checking (with errors.Is and so on) is actually pretty rare in my experience.

Websocket

In my experience Go has been relatively approachable for people that are good at PHP. It has a great standard library and a pretty solid ecosystem, though frameworks aren’t as popular in Go. There are some well regarded libraries for things like WebRTC via https://github.com/pion/webrtc WebSicket via https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket

Also take a look at https://github.com/nhooyr/websocket - which is a good ws library, but I don't have anything specific about its memory usage per connection. But from what I see it will be somewhat similar to x/net/websocket.

nhooyr/websocket, shollz/pake, charmbracelet/bubbles, charmbracelet/bubbletea, charmbracelet/lipgloss, muesli/reflow, klauspost/pgzip and many, many more.

Ah this is interesting. I've been blindly using this library for the past 6 years: https://github.com/stretchr/testify.

testify is a testing toolkit that adds better assertions, mock capabilities, and test suite support on top of Go’s built-in testing package. It’s commonly used for simplifying test logic and improving test readability.

Testify simplifies writing unit tests in Go. The standard testing package is fine, but Testify adds assertions, mocking, and suite support, making tests more readable and maintainable.

I prefer to use the Go library testify, which significantly simplifies the code:

nil is returned initially, as we're creating user_test.go and using Testify to create tests as we shape the behavior of PostUser. We don't have a DB wired up yet, so the responses will simply be hard-coded structs of what we expect the API to respond with for now to pass the tests.

Bonus: Testify

Testify: Popular framework with assertion functions and mock objects.

Testing: unit and integration tests using Testify and formatted test output using gotestsum

We’ve integrated the excellent testify library with its “assert” functionality to allow for smoother test implementation:

This article is too basic and does not introduce anything you'd encounter in a typical Go project. If you want introduction to Go testing I recommend just reading the official docs https://pkg.go.dev/testing and understanding how to write table driven tests - https://go.dev/wiki/TableDrivenTests.

Going beyond what's built in, get familiar with https://github.com/stretchr/testify as that's used a lot.
