go-rest-templ

A simple template for a REST API server in Go.

Feel free to create an issue or a pull request if you feel like it should have more features.

Run

Run the server with go run main.go or build it with go build and run the binary.

Configuration

The server can be configured in the following ways:

• Command line flags

    go run main.go --port=8080 --addr=localhost --cat-facts=false --cat-facts-url="https://catfact.ninja/fact"

• Configuration file

    go run main.go -c example-config.yaml

Note that when using the config -c/--config flag, none of the other flags can be used. When using a YAML config file, the fields have the same default values as the CLI flags.

Usage

$ go run main.go -h
Usage:
  go-rest [flags]

Flags:
  -a, --addr string            Address to run the server on (default "localhost")
  -f, --cat-facts              Enable cat facts (default true)
  -u, --cat-facts-url string   URL to get cat facts from (default "https://catfact.ninja/fact")
  -c, --config string          Config file path (cannot use with any other flag)
  -h, --help                   help for go-rest
  -p, --port int               Port to run the server on (default 8080)
