GO BOILERPLATE

This is a boilerplate that you can use for your go projects :)

Developed with the software and tools below.

Description

This project is a boilerplate for creating API projects in Go, incorporating key principles of Domain-Driven Design and Clean Architecture. It reflects my expertise in Golang, drawn from previous projects, and is structured to facilitate maintainability and scalability.

All layers of the codebase are tested to ensure reliability and robustness. The project is open to contributions and improvements. Feel free to fork the repository, submit pull requests, or open issues to discuss enhancements or report bugs.

Project architecture:

For the presentation layer, which I refer to as the transport layer, its purpose is to handle data transportation. It is responsible for receiving and responding to various types of requests, including API calls, gRPC, and messaging via RMQ, among others.

Tests:

For unit tests with MySQL and Redis, we are using real dependencies with testcontainers. It’s like putting our functions through a real-world.
And we are also using mocks to test the errors scenarios, this way we can achieve 100% of cover. 💪

💻 Getting Started

Prerequisites ❗

• Ensure Docker is installed on your machine.
