Encore VS examples

In this tutorial you will create a REST API for a URL Shortener service using Encore for TypeScript, a new way of building fully type-safe and production-ready distributed systems in TypeScript using declarative infrastructure.

At Encore, we've made it easier by making Pub/Sub is a native component in Encore's Open Source Infrastructure SDK.

⭐️ Support the project by starring Encore on GitHub.

Very cool. Reminds me of the encore framework, also written in go: https://github.com/encoredev/encore

Need to spend some more time looking into these go based frameworks, they seem great for quick prototyping

package url import ( "context" "testing" ) // TestShortenAndRetrieve - test that the shortened URL is stored and retrieved from database. func TestShortenAndRetrieve(t *testing.T) { testURL := "https://github.com/encoredev/encore" sp := ShortenParams{URL: testURL} resp, err := Shorten(context.Background(), &sp) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } wantURL := testURL if resp.URL != wantURL { t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", resp.URL, wantURL) } firstURL := resp gotURL, err := Get(context.Background(), firstURL.ID) if err != nil { t.Fatal(err) } if *gotURL != *firstURL { t.Errorf("got %v, want %v", *gotURL, *firstURL) } }

For something in the same vein but for Go, there is Encore: https://encore.dev / https://github.com/encoredev/encore

The framework is Open Source and the Encore platform provides free cloud hosting for hobby projects.

Encore is a backend framework for creating cloud backend applications where infrastructure is provisioned automatically from business logic.

For all the code and instructions of how to clone and run this example locally, see the Clerk Example in the Encore examples repo.

Encore is designed to work well with sqlc and is a simple method of trying it out, as Encore will take care of provisioning your databases automatically. Check out this hello-world example app using Encore and sqlc on GitHub.

Keep building with these Open Source App Templates.👈

To keep things simple, we're going to clone a pre-made backend app from Encore's template repo. It's a simple monolith implementing a URL shortener. The app has a REST API and a PostgreSQL database.

If you want to build something more, check out Encore's templates library for inspiration.

There's much more to Encore! If you want to get a feel for it, consider creating a free account and build an app with a template.

Download the elevenlabs package directory from https://github.com/encoredev/examples/tree/main/bits/elevenlabs and add it to the app directory you just created.

You can see the end result code on GitHub here.

Thanks! Encore does support dropping down to plain HTTP requests which lets you use Websockets, see [1]. We hope to make it more ergonomic and less boilerplate-y in the future, but it is supported :)
