Description

This repository contains a startup build for a web application using Golang. The architecture is well-structured, making it easy to understand and extend. The application utilizes several Golang packages to manage configuration, handle routes, perform template rendering, and manage sessions.

Overview

Main Packages and Technologies Used

  1. net/http for handling HTTP requests and responses.
  2. github.com/alexedwards/scs/v2 for session management.
  3. github.com/go-chi/chifor routing.
  4. html/template for HTML templating.
  5. github.com/justinas/nosurf for CSRF protection.
