Automatic api generation from an SQL database, complete with http API endpoint scaffolding code and preconditions checking.

• go >= 1.3 (see http://golang.org/)
• a mysql database
• go package gorrilla/mux; (Dependency to be removed by #12)

go get github.com/gorilla/mux

# Get package
go get is-a-dev.com/autoapi

# See that it works (if your go env is setup properly)
autoapi --help

cd $GOPATH/src
mkdir autoapiapp && cd autoapiapp
autoapi -d="DB_NAME" -u="root" -h="localhost" -P="3306"

Once this step is complete your directory should now look like:

$GOPATH/src/whatever/
        bin/
            main.go (Main application binary, run this to start it)
        db/
            /mysql
                /DB_TABLES (Database queries themselves for mysql)
        dbi/
            /DB_TABLES
        http/
            /DB_TABLES

From your project root:

go run bin/main.go -d="DB_NAME" -u="root" -h="localhost" -P="3306"

Your api will now be runnning on: http://localhost:8080 (by default)

• Other amazing features

• It is a good idea to use the routes generated as the base for your project, and include them in new packages instead of modifying them directly.
