Fiber VS chi

When creating this template project, I saw that I had to set up the server manually and I used gofiber as it has express-like functionalities, and as a MERN stack developer, I found it very easy to use. Once I thought to make a server-project generator in Express as well, but they already have one, it is called express-generator. Then I thought there might be the same thing for Fiber as well. But when I searched in GitHub with the topic:go-backend-template, I only found pre-made templates that you can clone and use for your projects. That's when I decided to give it a shot.

Go Fiber has a growing developer and user base. With over 31k stars on GitHub, you can tell that it’s constantly updated and maintained by a devoted team of contributors. You can also raise issues, ask questions, and participate freely thanks to the supportive community.

To make my life easier, I added Fiber, a popular lightweight framework. Regardless of which package you use, the process and most of the code will remain unchanged.

Since you're from Nodejs just like me, I use fiber https://gofiber.io/ it's easier to understand from a Nodejs background (express, etc) and there's nothing wrong using it if you know it, your casual application wont need all the performance in the world Go provides

I think u should try Fiber it's the fastest according to the benchmarks and imo it's the best I love it!!!

Boneless is a powerful tool that offers a wide range of features to facilitate application development. In this blog post, we will explore some essential tools that can be used in conjunction with Boneless: Service Weaver, Go Migrate, SQLC, and Fiber. Let's discover how these tools can boost productivity and efficiency in application development.

Fiber

Fibber is web framework written in Go. It is very easy to learn. https://gofiber.io

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 use go-chi for handling routes and to server static file(stylesheet).

This will be the structure of our project, we will use PostgreSQL as the database, go chi to create our endpoints, go dot env to import our environment variables.

go-chi: is a lightweight, idiomatic and composable router for building Go HTTP services.

Go Chi para criar nossas rotas

For HTTP I'd look at Chi https://github.com/go-chi/chi

In fact, it has zero dependencies outside of std lib in it's core: https://github.com/go-chi/chi/blob/master/go.mod

Interesting. go-chi added it as a middleware 4 months ago, but its not in the module docs since they haven't tagged a version since Dec 2022: https://github.com/go-chi/chi/blob/master/middleware/request_size.go
