This a template for an GraphQL API in Golang with

• Gin Server: Fast server
• Graphql-Go (Gophers): GraphQL Engine
• Gorm: ORM in GO (connected with postgreSQL)
• GraphiQL: GraphQL web client
• SQL-Migrate: DB migrations
• Dep: Go dependecy manager

You can install asdf if you are in linux or MacOS, this allow you to have several dev envs including GOLANG

Add in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc

export GOPATH=$HOME/go export PATH="$PATH:$GOPATH/bin" 

This project should be at $GOPATH/src it means ~/go/src

And the name should be test_articles, please rename it!

So the final code should be at ~/go/src/test_articles

Now, you have to install some commands (2. ,3. ,4.)

go get github.com/codegangsta/gin 

go get -v github.com/rubenv/sql-migrate/... 

go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep 

cp .env-example .env 

And change your configuration values

dep ensure 

export `egrep -v "#" .env | xargs -0` sql-migrate up -config="config/sql-migrate.yml" 

go run db/seeds/adding_articles.go 

gin 

The API should be at http://localhost:3000/graphql

Run this at least once in your console

export `egrep -v "#" .env | xargs -0` 

Creating a migration

sql-migrate new -config="config/sql-migrate.yml" <name> 

Migrating

sql-migrate up -config="config/sql-migrate.yml" 

Rollback

sql-migrate down -config="config/sql-migrate.yml"
