Gola CLI

Simple web app CLI for Go lang

The Gola CLI is based on the Fiber, Mongo, Validator and Godotenv library.

It uses the Fiber web framework to manage the web app

and the Mongo package to handle the MongoDB query and connection

and the Validator to handle the validation of dtos

and Godotenv for the configuration.

It's very opinionated on how the code should be structured.
