Getting Started

Prerequisite

Refer prerequisites docs

Initial Setup

Also Refer scaffolding docs

clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/xmlking/micro-starter-kit ~/Developer/Work/go/micro-starter-kit
# pull dependencies (when every time `go.mod` changed)
go mod download

Run

Database

By default this project use embedded sqlite3 database. if you want to use postgreSQL,

• start postgres via docker-compose command provided below
• uncommend postgres import statement and comment sqlite in plugin.go
• start micro server with --configFile=config.dev.postgres.yaml flag
  i.e., go run srv/account/main.go srv/account/plugin.go --configFile=config.dev.postgres.yaml

# to start postgres in foreground
docker-compose up postgres
# to stop postgres
docker-compose down
# if needed, remove `postgres_data` volume to recreate database next time, when you start.
docker system prune --volumes
