Announcing gofsen-cli — scaffold Go APIs in seconds

#go #cli #webdev #api

🚀 Last week I launched Gofsen — now comes gofsen-cli!

Last week, I launched Gofsen, a clean and minimal web API framework for Go.

As promised, today I’m introducing gofsen-cli, a command-line tool that helps you go from idea 💡 to a running API in under a minute.

Why the CLI?

Creating a new API project often requires a lot of boilerplate: main.go, handlers, middleware, environment configs…

With gofsen-cli, all of this is automated and ready to run.

Features

Generate a new project with all necessary files
Scaffold routes, middleware, and handlers in seconds
Sensible defaults: logging, recovery, CORS
Works cross-platform (Homebrew, APT, YUM, Go)

Quick Install

brew tap Bakemono-san/homebrew-tap
brew install gofsen-cli
