Mocking database calls without a library?
then just replace whole function, don't generate manually the mock '__') or it would get out of hand fast, you can just use codegen that static typed like https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter
-
Libraries you use most of your projects?
https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter - generate static typed test double (can be used to mock or stub calls)
I prefer https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

How do you write/generate mocks for testing?
counterfeiter is another tool, it creates mocks, stubs and spies; here is a short blog I wrote covering it.

Best/Easiest Rest Framework
for dependency injection I suggest you use https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter, but if you using really fast database (that can spawn fast using docker and has fast trx/sec) you can use it directly without dependency injection with https://github.com/ory/dockertest

Migrating from NodeJS/Typescript into Golang. Any advise for big web application?
Agree with u/mmknightx there is a tool that assist in creating fake or mock classes for your interfaces https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/counterfeiter

How do you control behaviour in mocked interface ?
Another alternative to use would be counterfeiter, it generates a type from your interface that could be used as a mock, stub or spy. I wrote a short post covering that tool if you're interested.
