Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Is there a mock library works with generics?
https://github.com/derision-test/go-mockgen, we use this widely at work
-
Libraries you use most of your projects?
https://github.com/derision-test/go-mockgen for generating mocks for interfaces, for those that use dependency injection. By far the best mock generator, especially compared to the relatively bad official one, or anything that requires passing method names as strings...
-
What are your favorite packages to use?
https://github.com/derision-test/go-mockgen for the best mocks Ive ever had in Go https://github.com/go-chi/chi for HTTP routing

Building and Deploying a New API (Part 1)
nil is returned initially, as we're creating user_test.go and using Testify to create tests as we shape the behavior of PostUser. We don't have a DB wired up yet, so the responses will simply be hard-coded structs of what we expect the API to respond with for now to pass the tests.

Full Introduction to Golang with Test-Driven Development
This article is too basic and does not introduce anything you'd encounter in a typical Go project. If you want introduction to Go testing I recommend just reading the official docs https://pkg.go.dev/testing and understanding how to write table driven tests - https://go.dev/wiki/TableDrivenTests.
Going beyond what's built in, get familiar with https://github.com/stretchr/testify as that's used a lot.

Why I don't use a third-party assertion library in Go unit tests
Of course, as soon as people saw this, the third-party assertion helper libraries started appearing. The most popular one seems to be testify (although I've never used it). Personally, I thought that the explicit check would be good enough for me, but it's true that after writing a bunch of tests, the boilerplate does seem unnecessarily verbose.

Testing calls to Daily's REST API in Go
I then verify that there are no issues with writing the body with require.NoError() from the testify toolkit. This will ensure the test fails if something happens to go wrong at this point.

Gopher Pythonista #1: Moving From Python To Go
For testing purposes, Go provides a go test command that automatically discovers tests within your application and supports features such as caching and code coverage. However, if you require more advanced testing capabilities such as suites or mocking, you will need to install a toolkit like testify. Overall, while Go provides a highly effective testing experience, it's worth noting that writing tests in Python using pytest is arguably one of the most enjoyable testing experiences I have encountered across all programming languages.
