Features

• Fiber v3 - Leveraging the latest features of the Fiber framework.
• Spark CLI - Custom tool for project initialization, migrations, and live-reloading.
• Dual Response Format - Built-in support for JSON and MessagePack (via Accept header).
• Graceful Shutdown - Handles OS signals to close DB connections and stop the server safely.
• Lifecycle Hooks - Register "Before" and "After" hooks for setup/teardown logic.
• Structured Logging - High-performance logging using Uber Zap.
• PostgreSQL Ready - Pre-configured connection pooling using pgx/v5.

Getting Started

1. Installation

Clone the repository and enter the directory:

git clone https://github.com/rachmanzz/fiber-starter.git my-project
cd my-project

2. Initialization

Use the Spark CLI to rename the module to your own:

./spark init

This will interactively ask for your module name and update all imports automatically.

3. Environment Setup

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database credentials and app port

4. Running the App

For development with live-reloading (requires Air):

./spark dev

To run normally:

go run cmd/server/main.go

Adding New Routes

Define your routes in app/routes/api.go. They are automatically loaded during the bootstrap process in bootstrap/app.go.

Spark CLI Commands

The spark binary is a helper tool for common tasks. (Source code for the CLI is maintained in the with-spark-cli branch for auditing/custom builds).

• spark init - Initialize project and rename module.
• spark dev - Run development server with live-reloading.
• spark migrate - Run database migrations using Tern.
• spark migrate new [name] - Create a new migration file in /migrations.
• spark version - Show CLI version.
