Boneless is a powerful tool that offers a wide range of features to facilitate application development. In this blog post, we will explore some essential tools that can be used in conjunction withBoneless:Service Weaver,Go Migrate,SQLC, andFiber. Let's discover how these tools can boost productivity and efficiency in application development.

After setting the context and providing a comprehensive introduction, we will demonstrate how to use our CLI. First, we need to install the necessary CLI tools.

By the way, first, we need to install the binary of Service Weaver, Go Migrate, SQLC, and Boneless. Even so, I suggest you read the documentation of all of them on your official websites.

$goinstall-tags'mysql sqlite3' github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/v4/cmd/migrate@latest$goinstallgithub.com/sqlc-dev/sqlc/cmd/sqlc@latest$goinstallgithub.com/ServiceWeaver/weaver/cmd/weaver@latest$goinstallgithub.com/renanbastos93/boneless/cmd/boneless@latest

Well, let's go on an adventure

Create scratch project

Always remember to check the available methods by executingboneless help. After that, we can proceed to create a new folder and ago.mod file.

$mkdir-p myapp$cdmyapp$go mod tidy myapp# "Now we can start utilizing commands from Boneless$boneless create-scratch

After creating the project, we can go ahead and execute it.

$ SERVICEWEAVER_CONFIG="./weaver.toml" boneless run

Adding a New app

If you want to add a new component to your application built with Boneless, the process is straightforward. Here are the steps you can follow

$boneless create-app user

After that, you need to make changes according to your requirements.

In addition, there are other Boneless commands available that you can use when they are truly necessary. See below:

Conclusion

In summary, we have explored the powerful tools available for application development using Boneless. We discussed the Command Line Interface (CLI) that facilitates the creation of web applications, along with Service Weaver, Go Migrate, SQLC, and Fiber. These tools provide essential features to boost productivity and efficiency in developing distributed applications, managing database migrations, generating secure code, and building fast web applications.

By utilizing these tools together, developers have a wide range of resources at their disposal to create robust, scalable, and secure applications. Through the Boneless CLI, you can initiate projects, manage database migrations, and leverage the benefits of Service Weaver and Fiber to build efficient and responsive APIs.

We hope this article has provided a comprehensive overview of these tools and sparked your interest in further exploring the potential of Boneless and its components. With the right combination of tools and knowledge, you will be well-positioned to develop high-quality web applications.
