Author's Note
You may notice it diverges from the structures seen in previous versions. I encourage you to explore the branches for each version to select the structure that appeals to you the most. In my recent projects, the code structure has progressed to version 4. However, I do not strictly advocate for one version over another. You may encounter alternative examples on the internet that align more closely with your preferences. Rest assured, the foundational concept will remain consistent or at least bear resemblance. The differences are primarily in the arrangement of directories or the integration of advanced tools directly into the setup.
This is an example of implementation of Clean Architecture in Go (Golang) projects.

This project has 4 Domain layer :
The original explanation about this project's structure can read from this medium's post : https://medium.com/@imantumorang/golang-clean-archithecture-efd6d7c43047. It may be different already, but the concept still the same in application level, also you can see the change log from v1 to current version in Master.
Make Sure you have run the article.sql in your mysql
Since the project is already use Go Module, I recommend to put the source code in any folder but GOPATH.
$ make tests
Here is the steps to run it with docker-compose
#move to directory
$ cd workspace
# Clone into your workspace
$ git clone https://github.com/bxcodec/go-clean-arch.git
#move to project
$ cd go-clean-arch
# copy the example.env to .env
$ cp example.env .env
# Run the application
$ make up
# The hot reload will running
# Execute the call in another terminal
$ curl localhost:9090/articles
In this project, I use some tools listed below. But you can use any similar library that have the same purposes. But, well, different library will have different implementation type. Just be creative and use anything that you really need.
