How To Build a Complete API In Golang (Docker, JWT, MySQL)

► Join the private community to level up as software engineer: selfmadeengineer.com
In this video we're going to be building a complete REST API in Golang using JWT, MySQL and at the end dockerize the whole thing so we can ship it to the cloud.

I've made a more in-depth video/course that will cover some of your guys questions here: th-cam.com/video/7VLmLOiQ3ck/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching

hello my new favourite golang content creator.

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Hey! Thank you so much!

[@arturfil]

I'm curious I see that you have a very flat file structure, other than simplicity do you see a reason for not using folder structure like the cmd/ interna/ pkg/ handlers/ etc? Awesome video!

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Thanks man! I did that for a couple reasons: firstly so I could move faster and so it would not be opinionated.
However I've seen a lot of people are interested in a more "complete" folder structure so I'm currently working on a bigger video/course where I do that.

[@supermanish4429]

prettty cool, is it possible that u can create an industry level go api using gin, and postgres which are both in docker
container

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Yes that is possible

[@vincentkho5591]

Hi Tiago, I used to use MVC folders structuring, can we somehow structure this project also in different folders? or is this the best practice in go ?

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Sure it's completely to personal preference. I've decided to not do that to not be opinionated during the tutorial.

[@user-ed2zi5qp9g]

how have you configured vs code like that? seems great!

[@TiagoTaquelim]

I have my dotfiles on my github: github.com/sikozonpc/dotfiles

[@user-pc7bv8vk4p]

Hi sir, upload complete backend tutorial in golang

[@TiagoTaquelim]

I'm currently working on a big complete backend API video/course!

[@IkraamDev]

In production, how would you structure these files into folders?

[@TiagoTaquelim]

It really depends on how you want to structure it and how the project is going to grow.
But, I have left in the description of the video an example of a project that I've been working on and I've separated everything into folders.
Where each folder is domain.

What software you use for that sql client ? Thanks 16:29

It's called TablePlus

[@TheIsraelMendoza]

New to Golang here. Not even sure if I’ll go deeper into it tbh.
Question: Why do I have the impression Go devs overuse single-character variable names? It’s just awful!!!

[@youranonymousyoutuber4051]

Why can't u use folders?

[@TiagoTaquelim]

Simplicity.
In my latest video I use a complete folder structure.

[@jordiburgos]

Nice! I would like to see this but starting from an OpenAPI spect description. How much code we could save with a generator?

[@udbhavrohatgi3653]

You Haven't Explained about How to used WIthJWTAuth, You have just used it, 15:21 (there no WithJWTAuth) but at 16:43 voila

[@udbhavrohatgi3653]

not at 38:38 I understand it ( while testing you haven't changed it, but I don't know why it is showing that at 16:43?)
