Flamingo Framework

Go Report Card GoDoc Build Status Release TODOs Join the chat at https://gitter.im/i-love-flamingo/community

Flamingo is a web framework based on Go.
It is designed to build pluggable and maintainable web projects. It is production ready, field tested and has a growing ecosystem.

Quick start

See "examples/hello-world"

Initialize an empty project:

mkdir helloworld
cd helloworld
go mod init helloworld

Create your project main file:

cat main.go

package main

import (
    "flamingo.me/dingo"
    "flamingo.me/flamingo/v3"
)

func main() {
    flamingo.App([]dingo.Module{
    })
}

If you then start your project you will see a list of registered commands:

go run main.go

It will print something like:

Flamingo main

Usage:
  main [command]

Examples:
Run with -h or -help to see global debug flags

Available Commands:
  config      Config dump
  handler     Dump the Handlers and its registered methods
  help        Help about any command
  routes      Routes dump
  serve       Default serve command - starts on Port 3322

Flags:
  -h, --help   help for main

Use "main [command] --help" for more information about a command.

To start the server use the following sub command:

go run main.go serve

And open http://localhost:3322

Hello World Example:

To extend this empty flamingo project with a "Hello World" output please create a new module "helloworld" like this:

mkdir helloworld
cat helloworld/module.go

With the following code in module.go:

package helloworld

import (
        "context"
        "net/http"
        "strings"

        "flamingo.me/dingo"
        "flamingo.me/flamingo/v3/framework/web"
)

type Module struct{}

func (*Module) Configure(injector *dingo.Injector) {
        web.BindRoutes(injector, new(routes))
}

type routes struct{}

func (*routes) Routes(registry *web.RouterRegistry) {
        registry.Route("/", "home")
        registry.HandleAny("home", indexHandler)
}

func indexHandler(ctx context.Context, req *web.Request) web.Result {
        return &web.Response{
            Status: http.StatusOK,
            Body:   strings.NewReader("Hello World!"),
        }
}

This file now defines a very simple module, that can be used in the Flamingo bootstrap. In this case it registeres a new handler that renders a simple "Hello World" message and binds the route "/" to this handler. Now please include this new module in your existing main.go file:

package main

import (
    "flamingo.me/dingo"
    "flamingo.me/flamingo/v3"
    "helloworld/helloworld"
)

func main() {
    flamingo.App([]dingo.Module{
        new(helloworld.Module),
    })
}

If you now run the server again 

go run main.go serve

And open http://localhost:3322 you will see your "Hello World!" output.

Feature List

  • dependency injection with Dingo
  • Flexible templating engines. (gotemplates and pugtemplates)
  • configuration concepts using cue with support for multiple config areas and additional config contexts
  • A module concept for building modular and pluggable applications based on Dingo
  • Authentication concepts and security middleware
  • Flexible routing with support for prefix routes and reverse routing
  • Web controller concept with request/response abstraction; form handling etc
  • Operational readiness: logging, (distributed) tracing, metrics and healthchecks with seperate endpoint
  • Localisation support
  • Commands using Cobra
  • Event handling
  • Sessionhandling and Management (By default uses Gorilla)

Ecosystem

  • GraphQL Module (and therefore support to build SPA and PWAs on top of it)
  • Caching modules providing resilience and caching for external APIs calls.
  • pugtemplate template engine for server side rendering with the related frontend tooling Flamingo Carotene
  • Flamingo Commerce is an active projects that offer rich and flexible features to build modern e-commerce applications.
