Lucid Framework
Introduction
LUCID is a golang backend framework. The frameowrk is meant to address the issue of having applications that all have different code structures.
The lucid cli tool is there to make the generation of the boiler plate code super easy.
App Setup
The application architecture will take the form of:
- db
- handlers
- middleware
- models
- routes
- utils
DB
The db directory is the place where all db related configurations will be kept.
These include access to different supported databases as well as initialising these instances of databases.
Handlers
The handlers directory is meant for keeping the business logic of routes.
Each route in mapped to a handler, and that handler is responsible to managing the applications business logic.
Middleware
The middleware directory is for storing data that is meant to be processed between requests.
Models
The models directory is for storing data access API's. These apis include everything involved in CRUD operations on data and databases.
Routes
The routes directory is for http routes access. These routes can be of any number, but its recommended to have them in separate files if they handle different kinds of backend access.
For example, the backend uses api.go for API routes and web.go for web based routes.
Utils
The utils directory is meant for storing helper function. These functions can be as simple as a function to handle error responses to more comples logic of data mangling.
Lucid CLI
The cli tool for generation and managing of Lucid app implementations.
Project Status
Both the CLI and the actual framework are still in active development. Contributors are welcome.
