Getting Started

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• EVO Framework: Installation Guide
• Golang (version 1.22 or higher)

Usage

1. Import Restify into your EVO application:

   import (
       "github.com/getevo/evo/v2"
       "github.com/getevo/restify"
   )
   
   func main() {
       evo.Setup()
       evo.Register(restify.App{})
       evo.Run()
   }

2. Add Restify support to your model:

   type User struct {
       UserID   int    `gorm:"primaryKey;autoIncrement"`
       UserName string `gorm:"column:username;index;size:255"`
       Name     string `gorm:"column:name;size:255"`
       restify.API     // this signature enables Restify
   }

3. Register your model with Restify:

   func (App) Register() {
       db.UseModel(User{})
   }
