## go-bootstrap

This is not a web framework. It generates a skeleton web project for you to kick-ass.

Feel free to use or rip-out any of its parts.

**NOTE:** Due to lack of Windows machine, at the moment, PostgreSQL template is not working on Windows.

## Prerequisites

1. PostgreSQL or MySQL if you choose to use a database.

1. Go programming language, version 1.3.x or newer.

1. Ensure `$GOPATH/bin` is in your `$PATH`. Example: `PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH/bin`

## Installation

1. `go get github.com/go-bootstrap/go-bootstrap`

1. `$GOPATH/bin/go-bootstrap -dir github.com/{git-user}/{project-name} -template {core|postgresql|mysql}`

1. Start using it: `cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/{git-user}/{project-name} && go run main.go`

## PostgreSQL Environment Variables

If you have `PGUSER`, `PGPASSWORD`, `PGHOST`, `PGPORT`, `PGSSLMODE` environment variables set,

they will be used to generate and bootstrap the database.
