This library serves as a foundational component for the Leapkit ecosystem - a Go-based web framework that aims to provide:
- Simplicity: Clean, straightforward APIs for common web development tasks
- Modularity: Each component can be used independently
- Convention over Configuration: Sensible defaults (like
app/layouts/application.htmlfor layouts) - Database Agnostic: Support for multiple database systems
- Modern Go Practices: Uses Go 1.22+ and follows contemporary Go patterns
The project uses minimal, well-established dependencies:
- Plush: For templating (from Buffalo ecosystem)
- Gorilla Sessions: For session management
- SQLite3: For database support
