Saloon (curso)

A place to chat and communicate. Basically, a forum.

This is a Buffalo application based heavily on the excellent but now derelict go-saloon/saloon-legacy.

It uses Postgres SQL database and OAuth2 using goth.

Thanks to go-saloon authors for providing a sturdy foundation for this forum app.

The application was ported from soypat/curso.

How to run application

One needs a database to run saloon. Here is an example, running postgres inside a docker container:

$> docker run --name saloon-postgres -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=1337 -p 5432:5432 -d postgres

Create Your Databases

Ok, so you've edited the "database.yml" file and started postgres, now Buffalo can create the databases in that file for you:

$> buffalo pop create -a

You can run buffalo pop migrate to initialize the forum and the content of its database:

Starting the Application

Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you. That's useful when developing on saloon. To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:

$> buffalo dev

If you point your browser to http://127.0.0.1:3000 you should see a "Welcome to the Saloon Forum" page.

how i did this

Don't bother reading this. These are notes for myself if I ever try building a new buffalo app in the future.

buffalo new saloon then cd saloon

buffalo pop g model user name nick provider provider_id email role subscriptions -> modify models/user.go -> change subscriptions to slices.UUID type. change all types that are not fit for default datatype.

create_table("users") {
    t.Column("id", "uuid", {primary: true})
    t.Column("name", "string", {})
    t.Column("nick", "string", {})
    t.Column("provider", "string", {})
    t.Column("provider_id", "string", {})
    t.Column("email", "string", {})
    t.Column("role", "string", {})
    t.Column("subscriptions", "varchar[]", {"null": true})
    t.Timestamps()
}
add_index("users", ["provider", "provider_id", "role"], {"unique":true})
