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。

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

If I started working at a Go shop that used a framework, I would hope it would be Fiber. Not for any particular solid reasons, though. Rather just personal preference based on how the developer experience feels to me personally.

I use Fiber [0] in production for a $4M ARR company and never had any issues.

Took less than a month to start with and integrate and it is a joy to use.

Fiber is quite light weight and performant, its beginner friendly as well. The complexity of your app has to live somewhere. You are going to need a router at least, any framework that is lightweight and has sensible defaults is always worth considering over doing everything on your own. There are plenty of useful examples

Express: A lightweight framework for building web applications.

Now, we will create API using expressjs. When we created application using --ssr flag, the Angular CLI already took care of installing expressjs for us.

First, we import express. The Express framework allows us to create routes that will respond to webhook POST requests and serve an HTML file when a GET request is made to the root of the site.

Basic Knowledge of Express

Express.js Documentation

In the JavaScript ecosystem, there are guides for enabling SAML-based enterprise single sign-on in AdonisJS, Express.js, Next.js, Remix, and React with an Express.js backend.

Starting off strong with Express.js, the cool kid on the block for building web apps. It's lightweight, flexible, and doesn't throw a tantrum when you ask it to scale. With Express, you can handle HTTP requests like a pro, play around with middleware, set up routes without breaking a sweat, and render views that make your app look stunning. Big names like Netflix and Uber are already on board, and if it's good enough for them, it's definitely worth a peek.

Now we can install both Express and Socket.io libraries:
