Opinionated CLI tool for generating Go backend service boilerplate
Inspired by the fact that I hate rewriting and copy pasting code that I have already written before, so I decided to create a CLI tool to generate the needed files and folder structure to quickly create a new backend service.
The idea is that these are backend services (like microservices), not an entire backend monolith implementation. For starters though this generates a good strtucture, but for it to be an entire monolith it would need to require extra setup from yourself.
P.S. This was encountered while working on fáfnir.
In no particular order:
- Add REST, gRPC, and GraphQL templates to my liking
- REST
- gRPC
- GraphQL
- Add SQLc support to my liking
- Implement quality of life features like:
- Flags for every possible option
- Interactive UI for when flags are not provided
