godotenv VS Echo

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.

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

In his code it is done using https://github.com/joho/godotenv

envconfig: Library for managing configuration data from environment variables (https://github.com/joho/godotenv)

There is already a more complete, safer and neatly written godotenv alternative. It may be taken as an educational inspiration for next attempts.

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.

Echo - web framework for Go

The three behaviors I've described that we want all depend on two things, the first of which is "idiomatic error handling". We need to be able to simply return err in our handlers. Unfortunately, the standard libray doesn't give us this. But some third-party frameworks do. The most popular one I'm familiar with is labstack echo, whose HandlerFunc looks like this:

In this tutorial, I will be using the Echo framework to build the backend. You can learn more about Echo here.

____ __ / __/___/ / ___ / _// __/ _ \/ _ \ /___/\__/_//_/\___/ v4.11.1 High performance, minimalist Go web framework https://echo.labstack.com ____________________________________O/_______ O\ ⇨ http server started on [::]:8080

Some of the features: - ✅ Using Vertical Slice Architecture as a high level architecture - ✅ Using Event Driven Architecture on top of RabbitMQ Message Broker with a custom [Event Bus](pkg/messaging/bus/) - ✅ Using Event Sourcing in Audit Based services like [Orders Service](services/orders/) - ✅ Using CQRS Pattern and Mediator Patternon top of Go-MediatR library - ✅ Using Dependency Injection and Inversion of Controlon top of uber-go/fx library - ✅ Using RESTFul api with Echo framework and using swagger with swaggo/swag library - ✅ Using Postgres and EventStoreDB to write databases with fully supports transactions(ACID) - ✅ Using MongoDB and Elastic Search for read databases (NOSQL) - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Distributed Tracing with using Jaeger and Zipkin - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Metrics with using Prometheus and Grafana - ✅ Using Unit Test for testing small units with mocking dependent classes and using Mockery for mocking dependencies - ✅ Using End2End Test and Integration Test for testing features with all of their real dependeinces using docker containers (cleanup tests) and testcontainers-go library

If you come from NodeJS background, you may find Echo (https://echo.labstack.com) most similar to express.

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.
