About:
goctl is a powerful CLI tool designed for the go-zero framework that streamlines the development of microservices. It automatically generates boilerplate code for RESTful APIs and gRPC services, including handlers, logic, and configuration files. This significantly accelerates development by enforcing best practices and reducing manual coding effort.
Key Features:
  • Generates RESTful API code from simple api files
  • Generates gRPC protobuf code and go files
  • Automates model generation from database schemas
  • Supports quick deployment with k8s and docker
Use Cases:
  • Scaffolding a new high-performance microservice project
  • Generating CRUD handlers and logic for database models
  • Converting protobuf definitions to gRPC service code
Alternatives:
  • protobuf – Protobuf defines the wire format, while goctl generates the full application service layer code.
  • oapi-codegen – Generates code from OpenAPI specs; goctl uses its own api syntax tailored for the go-zero ecosystem.
