Additional Notes

  • appy is made as a package for your application to import without the need to install any additional binary
  • appy glues the great packages to provide best productivity in developing Go web application
  • appy comes with 2 build types:
    • debug - when the code is NOT running within the binary
    • release - when the code is running within the binary
  • appy follows 12factor via APPY_ENV environment variable:
    • by default, it is development
    • when APPY_ENV=staging is set, the config file is configs/.env.staging
    • utilise configs/.env.<APPY_ENV> to support multiple environments deployment

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Quick Start

Step 1: Create the project folder with go module and git initialised.

$ mkdir <PROJECT_NAME> && cd $_ && go mod init $_ && git init

Note: The <PROJECT_NAME> must be an alphanumeric string.

Step 2: Create main.go with the snippet below.

package main

import (
  "github.com/appist/appy/cmd"
)

func main() {
  err := cmd.Scaffold()

  if err != nil {
    panic(err)
  }
}

Step 3: Initialize the project layout.

$ go run .

Step 4: Setup the databases using Docker Compose.

$ go run . setup

Step 5: Start developing your application locally.

$ go run . start
