golang-crud-rest-api VS diygoapi

Just as an example for anyone curious, here's a fully functional CRUD api written in Go. Personally, I've found that ORM bites you sooner than you think as you scale, but it can be worthwhile early on. Wouldn't necessarily organize a full CRUD app exactly the way they did, but it's not bad and wouldn't be hard to refactor into a CRUD app with many dozens of entities and endpoints: https://github.com/iammukeshm/golang-crud-rest-api. Roughly 450 LoC. That's it. The boilerplate needed for a symfony API of similar complexity is in the thousands of lines (yes I'm aware that you can generate a lot of that code, but people still have to sort through and read that code eventually)

Hi Go reddit community! For my https://github.com/gilcrest/diygoapi project, I recently re-refactored the way I do errors (this is like my 5th time over the years). I wrote a quick post and updated the README with details - the post is here: https://dangillis.dev/posts/errors-again/

Great idea. Added Issue 20

Hey - I've been working on something like this for a while. Take a look - https://github.com/gilcrest/go-api-basic - as others have said this is really an opinionated thing, there are no standards, but I've found some ways of structuring web apis that I like over the years. I'm still learning and making changes, so it's in no way static, but you may get some ideas.

I have been working on a project called go-api-basic for a while now and setup what I think is a decent way of implementing transactions. In my datastore package I have a Datastorer interface, with a DB() method to return the sql.DB, a BeginTx method to begin a Transaction, a RollbackTx method to rollback a transaction and a CommitTx method for committing. The Datastore struct implements this interface and has appropriate error handling, etc. In my controller package, you can see how I use this towards the end of the CreateMovie method. I've actually been working on this thing for 3.5 years and this is the first time I've ever posted on reddit about it haha, hope it helps.

I am writing a simple project like this called go-api-basic - I'm in the middle of adding tests (I know, wrong order) and rewriting the README, but what's there you may find helpful.
