Go Fiber Boilerplate

Go Fiber Rest Boilerplate is a starter template for building simple REST APIs using Go Fiber, GORM, and PostgreSQL. This project provides a ready-to-use setup with features like CRUD operations, pagination, and validation, following the clean architecture principles.

Technologies Used

• Golang: The programming language used for this project.
• Fiber: An Express-inspired web framework for Golang.
• GORM: The ORM library for Golang.
• PostgreSQL: The relational database used for storing data.
• JWT: JSON Web Token (JWT) auth middleware
• Google UUID: Go package for UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services.

Features

• CRUD Operations: Predefined template for Create, Read, Update, and Delete operations.
• Pagination: Easy-to-use pagination for API responses.
• Validation: Input validation to ensure data integrity.
• Clean Architecture: Organized project structure following clean architecture principles.
• Swagger: API documentation using Swagger.
