jet VS pongo2

We are really happy using jet. It lets you write type safe SQL and can read the results into structs- including joins into slice fields.

https://github.com/go-jet/jet

Check go-jet https://github.com/go-jet/jet

https://github.com/go-jet/jet does a similar thing.

Try go-jet, it generates the models based on the schema, provides typed column names.

I have tried doing that, but was unable to get it to work. I posted about it in a discussion here: https://github.com/go-jet/jet/discussions/215

Jet might be what you're looking for - https://github.com/go-jet/jet

Use sql builder https://github.com/go-jet/jet.

I've used https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 since it feels more dev friendly (like almost every other framework I've used). Check out https://github.com/avelino/awesome-go#template-engines for some others.

Doesn’t it bother your that your templates aren’t really valid HTML? Because of the way html/template works, one isn’t really able to implement template inheritance properly. So you end up with opening and closing tags scattered around multiple files? You might want to look at Pongo2, which implements most of Django’s templating syntax (incl. inheritance) and is pretty stable: https://github.com/flosch/pongo2

At least template-wise, I've developed pongo2 mimicking Django's template engine which I use myself for various projects. For the rest I usually stick with the standard library (net/http), golang-jwt, the Gorilla toolkit (note that it's been archived recently) and some software architecture patterns for middlewares, database abstraction, etc.

pongo2 is a community-built template engine with syntax inspired by Django-syntax. It is built by the community for Go. It is very popular today, with more than 2K stars on GitHub.

Django uses Jinja templating engine. Something similar is available at https://github.com/flosch/pongo2 Now you just have to pick which router you want and which ORM or not-ORM.

Yes, Go templating is quite hard. There was a feature request[1] to implement the Django/Jinja2-like Pongo2 template engine[2], but got rejected because it would have been a too big change.

Yes, there is pongo2 [0] and my runner (basically a small Go software that runs the template engine) pongo2-runner [1].

I'm not the author of the library (pongo2), but I'm using pongo2-runner to dynamically create config files out of environment variables, with custom logic. Super recommended.
