  • Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
    21 projects | dev.to | 27 Sep 2023
    It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

    I would add Squirrel to PGX https://github.com/Masterminds/squirrel
  • how to avoid writing dreadful SQL statements
    4 projects | /r/golang | 23 May 2023
    I have written about this before, and my thoughts always settle on using a query builder. I've built a simple one, which works for what I need, but there are more feature complete ones out there such as squirrel. I've also written about how you can implement a simple CRUD library for database interactions using generics and query building to have that nice middle-ground between an ORM and query building.

  • Why is Raw SQL preferred over ORM in go?
    7 projects | /r/golang | 15 Apr 2023
    I think he means an sql builder like squirrel. This allows dynamic queries, but more important you can reuse function that build a where clause so you can get a count and query with that.
  • Does Go, has something similar to Laravel eloquent (ORM) ?
    7 projects | /r/golang | 11 Apr 2023
    I'd rather suggest the use of tools more aligned with the core concepts of the language such as sqlx, which is an extension of the database/sql standard library. It allows you to use models/structs to map your tables but you have more control over the SQL statements you use to perform queries and the like. You can combine sqlx with Squirrel to build queries from composable parts.
  • Are there any decent ORMs in Golang?
    7 projects | /r/golang | 11 Mar 2023
    But using a query builder, something like squirrel or (plug) bqb, allows you to actually write SQL (or something close to it) when you need it but also handles the nasty string building bits. Though I agree that ORMs are not always bad, especially for small projects with well-defined scope.
  • GORM

  • Uploading and Serving Images from MongoDB in Golang
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Jan 2024
    MongoDB, a document-oriented NoSQL database, will be our data powerhouse. We'll utilize the mongo-driver library to seamlessly connect our Golang application to MongoDB. This section will cover essential database interactions, including creating collections, storing metadata, and efficiently querying for image-related data. Understanding these fundamentals is crucial for building a robust image storage and retrieval system.

    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

  • Go EventSourcing and CQRS microservice using EventStoreDB πŸ‘‹βš‘οΈπŸ’«
    12 projects | dev.to | 27 Feb 2022
    In this project we have microservice working with EventStoreDB using oficial go client, for [projections (https://zimarev.com/blog/event-sourcing/projections/) used MongoDB and Elasticsearch for search, and communicate by gRPC and REST. Did not implement here any interesting business logic and didn't cover tests, because don't have enough time, the events list is very simple: create a new order, update shopping cart, pay, submit, cancel, change the delivery address, complete order, and of course in real-world better use more concrete and meaningfully events, but the target here is to show the idea and how it works. Event Sourcing can be implemented in different ways, used here EventStoreDB, but we can do it with PostgreSQL and Kafka for example. After trying both approaches, found EventStoreDB is a better solution because all required features are implemented out of the box, it is optimized and really very good engineers developing it.
