the reason that i like this tutorial the most is because he actually shows where the code is coming from within the documentation. these other ones, i feel like theyre just pulling it out of their asses and it is so confusing. thank you so much !

out of all the crud videos on golang that i have watched, this is the best one. Is this an accurate representation of how to actually create a golang, or are we not getting introduced something ? i watched akhils tutorial and it was so complicated that i was so lost, but this one seems to do all of the CRUD endpoints and was wondering if I can use this as a reference ?

[@johnxisde]

Do you need to install CompileDaemon globally to use it? I'd like to manage it in a similar way to npm scripts

[@japanboy31415]

@14:39 why do we need to do func init(){} when we are importing initializers and models at the top with import()

[@morkhoudia9]

Good & marvellous. Is it githubable ?

Can we return the response in camel case including created at and updated at?

[@codingwithrobby]

Yes you can, try replacing the gorm.Model line with:
ID uint `gorm:"primary_key" json:"id"`
CreatedAt time.Time `json:"createdAt"`
UpdatedAt time.Time `json:"updatedAt"`
DeletedAt *time.Time `json:"deletedAt"`

[@lemmyz1]

Any suggestions to replicate this using mongo db?

What version of go are you running here?
I can't get the CompileDaemon to work.
edit: If anybody else encounters with the same issue, fix on my end was that i forgot to add the gon/bin/ folder to my PATH

Hey there, sounds like the models didn't import correctly or you made a typo somewhere. I'd go through and double check everything matches mine in the video.

I've got same error too. Idk why it throw error but i solve it by adding the assignment.
var DB *gorm.DB
func ConnectToDB() {

You have to add your go bin folder to path then run go install not go get on the package

DB should be used within the ConnectToDatabase function. Double check your code matches mine. You probably have := instead of just = . Hope this helps!
