diygoapi VS markdir

Hi Go reddit community! For my https://github.com/gilcrest/diygoapi project, I recently re-refactored the way I do errors (this is like my 5th time over the years). I wrote a quick post and updated the README with details - the post is here: https://dangillis.dev/posts/errors-again/

Great idea. Added Issue 20

Hey - I've been working on something like this for a while. Take a look - https://github.com/gilcrest/go-api-basic - as others have said this is really an opinionated thing, there are no standards, but I've found some ways of structuring web apis that I like over the years. I'm still learning and making changes, so it's in no way static, but you may get some ideas.

I have been working on a project called go-api-basic for a while now and setup what I think is a decent way of implementing transactions. In my datastore package I have a Datastorer interface, with a DB() method to return the sql.DB, a BeginTx method to begin a Transaction, a RollbackTx method to rollback a transaction and a CommitTx method for committing. The Datastore struct implements this interface and has appropriate error handling, etc. In my controller package, you can see how I use this towards the end of the CreateMovie method. I've actually been working on this thing for 3.5 years and this is the first time I've ever posted on reddit about it haha, hope it helps.

I am writing a simple project like this called go-api-basic - I'm in the middle of adding tests (I know, wrong order) and rewriting the README, but what's there you may find helpful.

Basic websites are fun, both dynamic (served through net/http) and a static site generator. The latter is fun because you can start with a very basic one in about 20 lines of code, but they can be made arbitrarily large and featureful, and you can pretty much cut off development at any time and have something useful. This is a rare combination of attributes, IMHO. For the former, see my example markdir. This sort of thing can be useful for other things... I have a secret branch where I modified it to render subtitles files directly, for instance, because I needed that functionality and couldn't find anything that drop-dead simple to use.

It's what I published markdir for.
