go install github.com/melkeydev/go-blueprint@latest
This installs a go binary that will automatically bind to your $GOPATH
Then in a new terminal run:
go-blueprint create
You can also use the provided flags to set up a project without interacting with the UI.
go-blueprint create --name my-project --framework gin --driver postgres
See go-blueprint create -h
for all the options and shorthands.
Go Blueprint now offers enhanced database support, allowing you to choose your preferred database driver during project setup. Use the --driver
or -d
flag to specify the database driver you want to integrate into your project.
Choose from a variety of supported database drivers:
Blueprint is focused on being as minimalistic as possible. That being said, we wanted to offer the ability to add other features people may want without bloating the overall experience.
You can now use the --advanced
flag when running the create
command to get access to the following features. This is a multi-option prompt; one or more features can be used at the same time:
- HTMX support using Templ
- CI/CD workflow setup using Github Actions
- Websocket sets up a websocket endpoint
- Tailwind css framework
Note: selecting tailwind option automatically selects htmx.
Blueprint UI is a web application that allows you to create commands for the CLI and preview the structure of your project. You will be able to see directories and files that will be created upon command execution. Check it out at go-blueprint.dev
Here's an example of setting up a project with a specific database driver:
go-blueprint create --name my-project --framework gin --driver postgres
Advanced features are accessible with the --advanced flag
go-blueprint create --advanced
Advanced features can be enabled using the --feature
flag along with the --advanced
flag.
HTMX:
go-blueprint create --advanced --feature htmx
CI/CD workflow:
go-blueprint create --advanced --feature githubaction
Websocket:
go-blueprint create --advanced --feature websocket
Tailwind:
go-blueprint create --advanced --feature tailwind
Or all features at once:
go-blueprint create --name my-project --framework chi --driver mysql --advanced --feature htmx --feature githubaction --feature websocket --feature tailwind
