Echo VS Fiber

Can I try to rewrite it using the following? I'll just hand you the code I don't care about credit, I just enjoy cleaning things up. - https://github.com/spf13/cobra - https://echo.labstack.com/ - SQLite - and not a bunch of if statements

Use a library for HTTP serving, such as Gin, Chi, or Echo. I personally use Chi, as it's just the right level of abstraction for how I like to work. Despite what others say here, don't try to re-implement everything in a modern serving library using the standard library.

Here I'm not really sure what you're referring to: * You can set request timeout and it has nothing to do with whether you handled your error or not. * In most cases you either bubble it up the callstack or do something with error in place you o received it i.e. you switch to default value, retry or sth along those lines. In some cases frameworks like echo will translate error into 5XX response for you if you don't do anything with it in top level handler. * Panics are recoverable. Also in case your handler panics it won't crash entire server -> stdlib HTTP server just closes connection, frameworks might even provide panic handler which will return 5XX instead of nothing. * try/catch doesn't really solve anything I mentioned here ¯_(ツ)_/¯. You just hope somebody caught your exception somewhere else.

Now that we have set up the Go environment, we can start building our API. The first step is to choose a framework. There are several popular frameworks for building APIs in Go, such as Gorilla mux, Echo, and Gin. For this article, we'll use Gorilla mux.

echo! It's really easy it to use for simple routes but you can as well define routing groups as I did here.

Mir is a toolkit to develop RESTful API backend service like develop service of gRPC. It adapt some HTTP framework sush as Gin, Chi, Hertz, Echo, Iris, Fiber, Macaron, Mux, httprouter。

I use Echo at my job, we have migrated from GoKit and is pretty good. https://echo.labstack.com

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

don’t have an API at all - it’s a security vulnerability and unless you already know how to secure an API suite it’s very likely to increase risk for a dependent project. if you’re set on an API, use a well known routing package (e.g I love gofiber), and add an optional .withMiddleware() to your start func to allow clients to extend and secure the API themselves

I have loved using fiber. Very nice API with lots of configurability and it scales very well compared to echo, gin, etc.

Highly recommend fiber: https://gofiber.io

I'm still using gorilla for projects that started off with gorilla, but for newer projects I've been moving towards fiber and I actually quite like it

Let's start the implementation using Fiber. First of all, you need to install Fiber.

I've been using a https://gofiber.io/ server setup to serve reactjs assets and provide an underlying API in the same container (mostly for proxying server to server authenticated requests)
