Let’s Build a Go version of Laravel: Part Two

This is the follow up to Let’s Build a Go Version of Laravel, and is intended for students who have already taken that course!

In the first part of this series, we built a re–usable Go module that gave us a lot of functionality, including html, json, and xml response types, support for Go templates and Jet templates to render pages, multiple database support, sessions, and more. This time around, we’ll improve our Celeritas package and add the following functionality:

Add support for remote file systems, including Amazon S3 buckets, Minio, sFTP, and WebDAV

Add support for Social Authentication using GitHub and Google (and you can add as many more as you like)

Add support for improved testing, including a Go version of Laravel’s Dusk package, which takes a browser screen shot when testing functionality that renders a web page

Add support for maintenance mode using Remote Procedure Calls (RPC)

Improve our database migrations to support both raw SQL and soda’s Fizz file format

Implement file upload functionality (with support for local and remote file systems)

Separate logic and routes for web and API

Make it easy for users to create tests by pre–populating stub test files and the appropriate setup test.go files for their projects
