gen
The gen tool produces a CRUD (Create, read, update and delete) REST api project template from a given database. The gen tool will connect to the db connection string analyze the database and generate the code based on the flags provided.
By reading details from the database about the column structure, gen generates a go compatible struct type with the required column names, data types, and annotations.
It supports gorm tags and implements some usable methods. Generated data types include support for nullable columns sql.NullX types or guregu null.X types and the expected basic built in go types.
gen is based / inspired by the work of Seth Shelnutt's db2struct, and Db2Struct is based/inspired by the work of ChimeraCoder's gojson package gojson.
CRUD Generation
This is a sample table contained within the ./example/sample.db Sqlite3 database. Using gen will generate the following struct.
CREATE TABLE "albums"
(
[AlbumId] INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT NOT NULL,
[Title] NVARCHAR(160) NOT NULL,
[ArtistId] INTEGER NOT NULL,
FOREIGN KEY ([ArtistId]) REFERENCES "artists" ([ArtistId])
ON DELETE NO ACTION ON UPDATE NO ACTION
)
Transforms into
type Album struct {
//[ 0] AlbumId integer null: false primary: true auto: true col: integer len: -1 default: []
AlbumID int `gorm:"primary_key;AUTO_INCREMENT;column:AlbumId;type:INTEGER;" json:"album_id" db:"AlbumId" protobuf:"int32,0,opt,name=album_id"`
//[ 1] Title nvarchar(160) null: false primary: false auto: false col: nvarchar len: 160 default: []
Title string `gorm:"column:Title;type:NVARCHAR(160);size:160;" json:"title" db:"Title" protobuf:"string,1,opt,name=title"`
//[ 2] ArtistId integer null: false primary: false auto: false col: integer len: -1 default: []
ArtistID int `gorm:"column:ArtistId;type:INTEGER;" json:"artist_id" db:"ArtistId" protobuf:"int32,2,opt,name=artist_id"`
}
Code generation for a complete CRUD rest project is possible with DAO crud functions, http handlers, makefile, sample server are available. Check out some of the code generated samples.

Supported Data Types
Most data types are supported, for Mysql, Postgres, SQLite and MS SQL. gen uses a mapping json file that can be used to add mapping types. By default, the internal mapping file is loaded and processed. If can be overwritten or additional types added by using the --mapping=extra.json command line option.
The default mapping.json file is located within the ./templates dir. Use gen --save=./templates to save the contents of the templates to ./templates.
Below is a portion of the mapping file, showing the mapping for varchar.
{
"sql_type": "varchar",
"go_type": "string",
"protobuf_type": "bytes",
"guregu_type": "null.String",
"go_nullable_type": "sql.NullString"
}
Advanced
The gen tool provides functionality to layout your own project format. Users have 2 options.
-
Provide local templates with the
--templateDir=option - this will generate code using the local templates. Templates can either be exported fromgenvia the commandgen --save ./mytemplates. This will save the embedded templates for local editing. Then you would specify the--templateDir=option when generating a project. -
Passing
--exec=../sample.genon the command line will load thesample.genscript and execute it. The script has access to the table information and other info passed togen. This allows developers to customize the generation of code. You could loop through the list of tables and invokeGenerateTableFileorGenerateFile. You can also perform operations such as mkdir, copy, touch, pwd.
Example - generate files from a template looping thru a map of tables.
Loop thru map of tables, key is the table name and value is ModelInfo. Creating a file using the table ModelInfo.
tableInfos := map[string]*ModelInfo
GenerateTableFile(tableInfos map[string]*ModelInfo, tableName, templateFilename, outputDirectory, outputFileName string, formatOutput bool)
{{ range $tableName , $table := .tableInfos }}
{{$i := inc }}
{{$name := toUpper $table.TableName -}}
{{$filename := printf "My%s.go" $name -}}
{{ GenerateTableFile $.tableInfos $table.TableName "custom.go.tmpl" "test" $filename true}}{{- end }}
Example - generate file from a template.
GenerateFile(templateFilename, outputDirectory, outputFileName string, formatOutput bool, overwrite bool)
{{ GenerateFile "custom.md.tmpl" "test" "custom.md" false false }}
Example - make a directory.
{{ mkdir "test/alex/test/mkdir" }}
Example - touch a file.
{{ touch "test/alex/test/mkdir/alex.txt" }}
Example - display working directory.
{{ pwd }}
Example - copy a file or directory from source to a target directory.
copy function updated to provide --include and --exclude patterns. Patterns are processed in order, an include preceeding an exclude will take precedence. Multiple include and excludes can be specified. Files ending with .table.tmpl will be processed for each table. Output filenames will be stored in the proper directory, with a name of the table with the suffix of the template extension. Files ending with .tmpl will be processed as a template and the filename will be the name of the template stripped with the .tmpl suffix.
{{ copy "../_test" "test" }}
{{ copy "./backend" "test/backend" "--exclude .idea|commands" "--exclude go.sum" "--include .*" }}
{{ copy "./backend" "test/backend" "--include backend" "--include go.mod" "--exclude .*" }}
You can also populate the context used by templates with extra data by passing the --context=<json file> option. The json file will be used to populate the context used when parsing templates.
File Generation
// Loop through tables and print out table name and various forms of the table name
{{ range $i, $table := .tables }}
{{$singular := singular $table -}}
{{$plural := pluralize $table -}}
{{$title := title $table -}}
{{$lower := toLower $table -}}
{{$lowerCamel := toLowerCamelCase $table -}}
{{$snakeCase := toSnakeCase $table -}}
{{ printf "[%-2d] %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s" $i $table $singular $plural $title $lower $lowerCamel $snakeCase}}{{- end }}
{{ range $i, $table := .tables }}
{{$name := toUpper $table -}}
{{$filename := printf "My%s" $name -}}
{{ printf "[%-2d] %-20s %-20s" $i $table $filename}}
{{ GenerateTableFile $table "custom.go.tmpl" "test" $filename true}}
{{- end }}
// GenerateTableFile(tableInfos map[string]*ModelInfo, tableName, templateFilename, outputDirectory, outputFileName string, formatOutput bool)
// GenerateFile(templateFilename, outputDirectory, outputFileName string, formatOutput bool, overwrite bool)
The following info is available within use of the exec template.
"AdvancesSample" string "\n{{ range $i, $table := .tables }}\n {{$singular := singular $table -}}\n {{$plural := pluralize $table -}}\n {{$title := title $table -}}\n {{$lower := toLower $table -}}\n {{$lowerCamel := toLowerCamelCase $table -}}\n {{$snakeCase := toSnakeCase $table -}}\n {{ printf \"[%-2d] %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s %-20s\" $i $table $singular $plural $title $lower $lowerCamel $snakeCase}}{{- end }}\n\n\n{{ range $i, $table := .tables }}\n {{$name := toUpper $table -}}\n {{$filename := printf \"My%s\" $name -}}\n {{ printf \"[%-2d] %-20s %-20s\" $i $table $filename}}\n {{ GenerateTableFile $table \"custom.go.tmpl\" \"test\" $filename true}}\n{{- end }}\n"

Struct naming
The ability exists to set a template that will be used for generating a struct name. By passing the flag --model_naming={{.}}
The struct will be named the table name. Various functions can be used in the template to modify the name such as
You can use the argument --name_test=user in conjunction with the --model_naming or --file_name, to view what the naming would be.
| Function | Table Name | Output |
|---|---|---|
| singular | Users | User |
| pluralize | Users | Users |
| title | Users | Users |
| toLower | Users | users |
| toUpper | Users | USERS |
| toLowerCamelCase | Users | users |
| toUpperCamelCase | Users | Users |
| toSnakeCase | Users | users |
Struct naming Examples
Table Name: registration_source
| Model Naming Format | Generated Struct Name |
|---|---|
{{.}} | registration_source |
Struct{{.}} | Structregistration_source |
Struct{{ singular .}} | Structregistration_source |
Struct{{ toLowerCamelCase .}} | Structregistration_source |
Struct{{ toUpperCamelCase .}} | StructRegistration_source |
Struct{{ toSnakeCase .}} | Structregistration_source |
Struct{{ toLowerCamelCase .}} | Structtable_registration_source |
Struct{{ toUpperCamelCase .}} | StructTable_registration_source |
Struct{{ toSnakeCase .}} | Structtable_registration_source |
Struct{{ toSnakeCase ( replace . "table_" "") }} | Structregistration_source |
Notes
- MySql, Mssql, Postgres and Sqlite have a database metadata fetcher that will query the db, and update the auto increment, primary key and nullable info for the gorm annotation.
- Tables that have a non-standard primary key (NON integer based or String) the table will be ignored.
DB Meta Data Loading
| DB | Type | Nullable | Primary Key | Auto Increment | Column Len | default Value | create ddl |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sqlite | y | y | y | y | y | y | y |
| postgres | y | y | y | y | y | y | n |
| mysql | y | y | y | y | y | y | y |
| ms sql | y | y | y | y | y | y | n |
Version History
- v0.9.27 (08/04/2020)
- Updated '--exec' mode to provide various functions for processing
- copy function updated to provide --include and --exclude patterns. Patterns are processed in order, an include preceeding an exclude will take precedence. Multiple include and excludes can be specified. Files ending with .table.tmpl will be processed for each table. Output filenames will be stored in the proper directory, with a name of the table with the suffix of the template extension. Files ending with .tmpl will be processed as a template and the filename will be the name of the template stripped with the .tmpl suffix.
- When processing templates, files generated with a .go extension will be formatted with the go fmt.
