$ ./go-echo-boilerplate

Testing Your Application

$ go test -v ./...

Generate Code Coverage

$ chmod +x generate-test-coverage.sh
$ ./generate-test-coverage.sh

This will generate cover.html with detailed coverage result.

Make mock interfaces with mockery

$ mockery --all --keep-tree

Add db model, controller and service

To add a controller

• Add *_controller.go file
• Define controller struct, define route entries, define route handlers and request dto interfaces. Please refer auth/auth_controller.go.
  
• Add controller object to routes/api.go

...
func DefineApiRoute(e *echo.Echo) {
	controllers := []common.Controller{
		auth.AuthController{},
		blogs.BlogsController{},
		// add newly added controller here 
	}
	var routes []common.Route
...

To add a service

• Add *_service.go file.
• Define service interface, define service methods as well as singleton methods.
• Please don't forget to add set method. It will be used when mocking service methods.

To add db models

• add directory models and define *.model.go file.
• Define model struct and include models.Base. Please refer blogs/models/blog.model.go.
