Ginius is an API boilerplate written in Go (Golang) with Gin Framework. https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin
Ginius uses gorm as an ORM. So Sqlite3, MySQL and PostgreSQL is supported. You just need to edit config.yml file according to your setup.
config.yml content:
database:
driver: "postgres"
dbname: "ginius"
username: "user"
password: "password"
host: "localhost"
port: "5432"
Ginius has two models (Post and Tag) as boilerplate to show relational database usage.
/model/post-model.go content:
type Post struct {
gorm.Model
Name string `json:"Name" gorm:"type:varchar(255)"`
Description string `json:"Description" gorm:"type:text"`
Tags []Tag // One-To-Many relationship (has many - use Tag's UserID as foreign key)
}
type Tag struct {
gorm.Model
PostID uint `gorm:"index"` // Foreign key (belongs to)
Name string `json:"Name" gorm:"type:varchar(255)"`
Description string `json:"Description" gorm:"type:text"`
}
Ginius has it's own filtering, search and pagination system. You just need to use these parameters.
Query parameters:
/posts/?Limit=2
/posts/?Offset=0
/posts/?Sort=ID
/posts/?Order=DESC
/posts/?Search=hello
Full: http://localhost:8081/posts/?Limit=25&Offset=0&Sort=ID&Order=DESC&Search=hello
To run Ginius with Docker, firstly build an image:
make build-image
To run Ginius with MySQL:
make run-app-mysql
To run Ginius with PostgreSQL:
make run-app-postgres
Application will be served at ":8081"
Ginius has a very powerful logging logic. There is application log (ginius.log), database log (ginius.db.log) and access log (ginius.access.log)

Gin framework listens GIN_MODE environment variable to set running mode. This mode enables/disables access log. Just run one of these commands before running Ginius:
// Debug mod
export GIN_MODE=debug
// Test mod
export GIN_MODE=test
// Release mod
export GIN_MODE=release
Ginius uses great open source projects list below: Gin for main framework, Gorm for database and Viper for configuration.
go get -u github.com/gin-gonic/gin
go get -u github.com/jinzhu/gorm
go get -u github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/postgres
go get -u github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/sqlite
go get -u github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/mysql
go get -u github.com/spf13/viper
Gin has 2 important built-in middlewares: Logger and Recovery. Ginius calls these two in default.
router := gin.Default()
This is same with the following lines.
router := gin.New()
router.Use(gin.Logger())
router.Use(gin.Recovery())
CORS is important for API's and Ginius has it's own CORS middleware in include/middleware.go. CORS middleware is called with the code below.
router.Use(include.CORS())
There is also a good repo for this: https://github.com/gin-contrib/cors
Almost every API needs a protected area. Gin has BasicAuth middleware for protecting routes. Basic Auth is an authorization type that requires a verified username and password to access a data resource. In Ginius, you can find an example for a basic auth. To access these protected routes, you need to add Basic Authorization credentials in your requests. If you try to reach these endpoints from browser, you should see a window prompting you for username and password.
authorized := router.Group("/admin", gin.BasicAuth(gin.Accounts{
"username": "password",
}))
// /admin/dashboard endpoint is now protected
authorized.GET("/dashboard", controller.Dashboard)
- Ginius needs a user service and an authentication method with JWT.
- Ginius needs a CLI to create endpoints
