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.

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!

Autenticação com Golang e AWS Cognito
Primeiro vamos carregar nossas envs com o pacote godotenv, depois iniciamos nosso cognito client, passando o COGNITO_CLIENT_ID, que pegamos anteriormente, depois iniciamos o gin e criamos um server, isso é o suficiente.

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

Is this clear why its useful?
There is already a more complete, safer and neatly written godotenv alternative. It may be taken as an educational inspiration for next attempts.

I need some help setting up variables for the sake of my sanity
Chances are you are going to set them in you real server, and most likely you will going to use Linux for that. So for local development create a .env file with those in there. And at the start of you program, load them. You can use https://github.com/joho/godotenv Don’t share that file of course, and don’t put it in git.
