Installation

Using Goravel Installer

Initialize the installer according to the documentation, and then initialize a new Goravel project using the following command:

// Enter the directory where you want to install the project
goravel new blog

Manual Installation

// Download framework
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/goravel/goravel.git && rm -rf goravel/.git*

// Install dependencies
cd goravel && go mod tidy

// Create .env environment configuration file
cp .env.example .env

// Generate application key
go run . artisan key:generate

Please confirm your network if you encounter slow download dependencies.

Start HTTP Service

Start Service According To .env File In The Root Directory

go run .

Specify .env File To Start Service

go run . --env=./.env

Start Service Using Environment Variables

APP_ENV=production APP_DEBUG=true go run .

Live reload

Install cosmtrek/air, Goravel has a built-in configuration file that can be used directly:

air

If you are using Windows system, you need to modify the .air.toml file in the root directory, and add the .exe suffix to the following two lines:

[build]
  bin = "./storage/temp/main.exe"
  cmd = "go build -o ./storage/temp/main.exe ."

Configuration

Configuration files

All configuration files of the Goravel framework are placed in the config directory. All configuration items have annotations, you can adjust them according to your needs.

Generate Application key

You need to generate the application key after Goravel is installed locally. Running the command below, a 32-bit string will be generated on the APP_KEY key in the .env file. This key is mainly used for data encryption and decryption.

go run . artisan key:generate

Generate JWT Token

You need to generate JWT Token if you use Authentication.

go run . artisan jwt:secret

Encrypt and decrypt env file

You may want to add the production environment env file to version control, but you don't want to expose sensitive information, you can use the env:encrypt command to encrypt the env file:

go run . artisan env:encrypt

// Specify the file name and key
go run . artisan env.encrypt --name .env.safe --key BgcELROHL8sAV568T7Fiki7krjLHOkUc

Then use the env:decrypt command to decrypt the env file in the production environment:

GORAVEL_ENV_ENCRYPTION_KEY=BgcELROHL8sAV568T7Fiki7krjLHOkUc go run . artisan env:decrypt

// or
go run . artisan env.decrypt --name .env.safe --key BgcELROHL8sAV568T7Fiki7krjLHOkUc
