Top 8 Go Toolkit Projects

Testify

29 19,223 6.5 Go

A toolkit with common assertions and mocks that plays nicely with the standard library

Project mention: Tools besides Go for a newbie | reddit.com/r/golang | 2023-03-26

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

1 831 3.8 Go

A cross-platform, efficient and practical CSV/TSV toolkit in Golang

Project mention: Tool to interact with CSV | reddit.com/r/commandline | 2023-02-27

I moved to csvtk and I am pretty happy with it. I find it a robust, feature rich, self-contained program.

And do not forget to use go-testdeep and its JSON operator to test JSON content: :)
testcase

5 105 9.0 Go

testcase is an opinionated testing framework to support test driven design.

Project mention: testing utility for time manipulation and pretty printing | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-08-12

One of them focuses on time manipulation for testing purposes: - Freeze time to a specific point. - Travel back to a specific time, but allow time to continue moving forward. - Scale time by a given scaling factor will cause the time to move at an accelerated pace. - No dependencies other than the stdlib - Nested calls to timecop.Travel is supported - Works with any regular Go projects

Project mention: Does a Message Bus implementation using generics exists out there? | reddit.com/r/golang | 2022-12-21

I know of one implementation of a bus using generics: goes, but the code is hard to follow, for me at least.

I did something like this but for grpc: https://github.com/ermites-io/pkisauce Maybe some ideas? Should not be hard to adapt for rest api
