gontractor (proof-of-concept)

Enables contract-first creation of Golang services by generating boilerplate code.

Why another microservice lib?

• Write service contract as Swagger specification
• Generate boilerplate (request/response types, service interface, server setup/startup code);
• Add service implementation manually
• Update contract
• Regenerate boilerplate
• Update service implementation as needed;

Why not...

• https://github.com/go-swagger/go-swagger ?

  Output too bloated.

• https://github.com/go-kit/kit ?

  Could be used as an underlying implementation

Limitations

Only a small subset of Swagger functionality is supported by the tool.
