Hands-On RESTful Web Services with Go - Second Edition

Introducing GORM, a powerful ORM for Go

GORM provides methods for all operations that can be done in the database/sql package. We can install GORM using the dep tool. In this section, we will look at with examples of how to insert, retrieve, and query PostgreSQL JSON using the GORM package.

For the full documentation about this ORM, visit http://jinzhu.me/gorm/. Let's write a program that implements the Shipment and Package types as JSON models. We'll use the same models that we defined in the previous chapter for logistics. Let's look at the steps:

1. Create a new directory called jsonstore in $GOPATH/src/github.com/git-user/chapter7 and create the files, like this:

mkdir jsonstoremkdir jsonstore/helpertouch jsonstore/helper/models.go
