Echo Quick Start Guide

By: Ben Huson

Overview of this book

Echo is a leading framework for creating web applications with the Go language.  This book will show you how to develop scalable real-world web apps, RESTful services, and backend systems with Echo.  After a thorough understanding of the basics, you'll be introduced to all the concepts for a building real-world web system with Echo. You will start with the the Go HTTP standard library, and setting up your work environment. You will move on to Echo handlers, group routing, data binding, and middleware processing. After that, you will learn how to test your Go application and use templates.  By the end of this book you will be able to build your very own high performance apps using Echo. A Quick Start Guide is a focussed, shorter title which provides a faster paced introduction to a technology. They are for people who don’t need all the detail at this point in their learning curve. The presentation has been streamlined to concentrate on the things you really need to know, rather than everything.

Summary

As with any fully rounded web application framework, the developer should have the ability to serve static and dynamic assets. With Echo, you have the ability to serve static content with the Static Echo instance method, as well as the ability to serve individual files with the File Echo instance method.

Often, it is not enough merely to serve static content. Echo also provides the ability to serve dynamic templates, which can be populated with dynamic data, as shown in this chapter. Within this chapter, we have shown not only how to render dynamic data from templates, but also how to call back into Echo from within the templates themselves.
