Basic starter code for standard api site on appengine. Includes account essentials out of the box (forgot password, mailing list subscription, avatar, etc.)
Currently it's a work-in-progress and hasn't been used in very different kinds of scenarios, which would likely affect some architectural changes, but it is being used on some live projects at the moment.
An entire api site can be run by something like this in your appengine project's main.go:
package main
import (
basic_setup "github.com/dakom/basic-site-api/setup"
)
func init() {
basic_setup.Start(MY_PAGE_CONFIGS, MY_SITE_CONFIG)
}
Where MY_PAGE_CONFIGS is a map[string]*pages.PageConfig and MY_SITE_CONFIG is a properly setup *custom.Config
You'd want to extend the supplied MY_PAGE_CONFIGS to handle all the requests your site deals with that aren't part of the base.
The idea is to create a framework for handling most of the common scenarios, and centralize key features (like authorization, jwt refreshing, different http responses, etc.) - not just as boilerplate but as a package which can be imported and used.
The current structure is mostly around getting requests and giving back json - though there are some areas where other responses are used (e.g. communicating with third parties), and one could use it as a starting point for a completely different kind of site (e.g. one which uses html templates)
- Write docs
- Give examples
- Improve code
