MySQL Example

This project demonstrates how to connect to a MySQL database in a Go application using the Fiber framework.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Golang
• Fiber package
• MySQL
• Go MySQL Driver

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/gofiber/recipes.git
   cd recipes/mysql

2. Install dependencies:

   go get

3. Set up your MySQL database and update the connection string in the code.

Running the Application

1. Start the application:

   go run main.go

Example

Here is an example of how to connect to a MySQL database in a Fiber application:

package main

import (
    "database/sql"
    "log"

    "github.com/gofiber/fiber/v2"
    _ "github.com/go-sql-driver/mysql"
)

func main() {
    // Database connection
    dsn := "username:password@tcp(127.0.0.1:3306)/dbname"
    db, err := sql.Open("mysql", dsn)
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }
    defer db.Close()

    // Fiber instance
    app := fiber.New()

    // Routes
    app.Get("/", func(c *fiber.Ctx) error {
        var greeting string
        err := db.QueryRow("SELECT 'Hello, World!'").Scan(&greeting)
        if err != nil {
            return err
        }
        return c.SendString(greeting)
    })

    // Start server
    log.Fatal(app.Listen(":3000"))
}
