How use gorilla/http for requests
Here is a good HTTP client library that is still under maintenance: https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests

The Go libraries that never failed us: 22 libraries you need to know
https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ talks about why that’s the API. To be honest, I think a lot of people have an irrational fear of mutability. If you want to make a clone, use .Clone(). If not then don’t. But if you don’t like mutability, you’re going to dislike using the Go standard library, which uses mutable package variables all over the place.

Too many returns?
Yeah, tons of boilerplate. See https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/

How I write offline API tests in Go
Yeah, I made a simple response recorder inspired by VCR. VCR is a little more complex than I need but the basic approach is great.
- Libraries you use most of your projects?
-
json response data from curl tool is different than http.Get method.
The native Go HTTP library is very capable, but it is extremely verbose. At the risk of introducing more complexity, I suggest using https://github.com/carlmjohnson/requests just so you don’t have to deal with checking all the errors and making the status code is correct.

How GoLang Generics Empower Concise API: HTML Table Extraction Case Study
What the other commenter said but also read this: https://blog.carlmjohnson.net/post/2021/requests-golang-http-client/ It talks about the need for clients and contexts throughout.

go-vcr v3 has been released
VCR is a great project, and because it uses the standard Go http.RoundTripper interface, you can use it with other projects!

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
-
Is this a good way to make sure that a mocked function is called inside the Unit Test?
Yes, that's a good way to do that; there are a lot of packages that allow you to mock and spy the calls if you're looking for one that generates the code for you I can recommend counterfeiter, I also have a short blog that covers it.
-
Libraries you use most of your projects?
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.
- Mocking Interfaces in Go with GoMock
- What's the best approach for mocking a function /method?
-
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.
- Slack notification Github action
