Basic example of how to use HFW to create a web API
You need to have these tools to run the example:
Copy the sample_env.sh to env.sh
and modify
the values to your needs.
If you use the provided docker-compose.yml file to launch your local environment, you won't need to touch those.
Run:
docker-compose up -d
to have the service dependecies running as docker containers (check the docker file to see what is going to be set up).
And source the environment vars to bring the environment vars to your current environment:
source ./env.sh
go run .
And you can open the page in the browser:
There you can use the link to go to a registration form, that once completed successfully, should tell you to check your email. But, you should go to the terminal where you are running the server to check for the log line that is printing the content of the email (because the provided config, uses the console mailer):

This app expects to have a config.yaml
file to run. We could
simply ignore the result from the result of the call to
InitConfig
and just use the environment vars (however
the framework expects to use the config file, even it
could be empty, and we could just use environment vars).
The file must be placed under ./config
or ./bundle/config
dir, with a file name of config.yaml
.
In order to render basic templates, there is a helper function
NewMultiRenderEngineFromDirs
, that uses the
multitemplate gin library
under the hood to search for directories called html_templates
to load its .html
files (as well as files under a templates_html/inc
subdir that can be used a components for the main templates)
In the pkg/bundler/cmd.go
file there is ExecuteBundlerOperations
that based on config (file or env vars) can execute several operations:
-
Collect migrations:
bundler.migrations.collect
bundler.migrations.scan
: a list of directories to scan to find db migration files
-
Execute migrations:
bundler.migrations.migrate
: the value of this string can be:up
: to get up to the latest versiondown
: to got to a previous version[int64 value]
: to go to a concrete migration version
bundler.migrations.dst
: the directory where the migration files are contained.
-
Pack files: this operation allows to collect files to be deployed to a server.
bundler.pack.dst
bundler.pack.srcs
bundler.pack.env
In this case we are interested only in the migrations part (even we
could collect migrations from pkg/ginfw/web/wusers
, but for
simplicity, the files have been included in the current example
folder)
So, in this case we can "bypass" the full bundler config, and just
run ApplyMigrationsFromConfig
function (that will jsut execute migrations).
