Dependencies

* github.com/oxequa/realize
* github.com/go-chi/chi/v5
* github.com/go-chi/render
* github.com/go-chi/middleware
* github.com/go-chi/jwtauth
* github.com/sirupsen/logrus
* github.com/unrolled/render
* github.com/josharian/impl - interface implementation generator
* github.com/jinzhu/gorm - ORM
* github.com/go-gormigrate/gormigrate - database migration
* github.com/go-ozzo/ozzo-validation - struct validation. why this and not other validation package that use struct tags? i really like the concept of this validation package. it doesn't use struct tags and that's what makes it (IMO) superior to others!

Running

go get all dependencies before anything else then run:

$ realize start

Tools that might be needed for convenience

• Model generator for a given database
• Response and Request management package
• Stub generator for resources
• Storer interface implemetation generators - impl
• Store implementation tests stub generator
• Database migration - gormigrate (inside store implementations)
• ORM - gorm

Generating Storer interface stub

Below is an example of generating Storer interface sub.

$ impl "s *Store" github.com/stevenferrer/chi-rest/model/user.Storer >> ./store/user/mssql/mssql.go
