SendGrid VS diygoapi

There’s a number of resources ready to work with Go that you can utilize. Mailgun offers its own SDK for Go. SendGrid also comes with its own community-driven Go library. If Mailjet is your choice, you’ll also find numerous code samples for Golang in their REST API docs. If you prefer other platforms, you’ll likely find other user-made libraries to make integration smoother.

You're right on both of these, and I'm not settled on this at all. Struct initialization and element setting are something I haven't landed on yet for larger structs. Personally, I like the pattern like sendgrid uses for struct initialization (examples here). Using the context of my repo, seems like if they are just initializing a struct, they'd use NewMovie and if they are actually adding logic as part of the struct initialization, they'd use NewMovieInit (e.g. in their repo, NewV3Mail and NewV3MailInit).

the email package is sendgrid go client https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go For the attachment it takes a based64 encoded string Ex:

I like https://github.com/sendgrid/sendgrid-go for Twilio's Sendgrid. I got some good ideas from it - I like the way they do initializers and give you already initialized maps and slices, etc.

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.
