Golang/Fiber codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API. Project based on RealWorld example for Golang/Echo

Demo    RealWorld

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with Golang/Fiber including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.
