🛒Installation

First things first, huh?

Framework is still below 1.0.0 version. Be careful updating the package, as breaking changes are common. Also the documentation might not represent the actual state.

Just run the following command:

go get -u github.com/indigo-web/indigo@latest

For installation, go1.23.8 or higher is required

The documentation's current state implies the version v0.17.3

Hello, world!

Create a new package:

mkdir helloworld
cd helloworld
go mod init helloworld
go get -u github.com/indigo-web/indigo@latest

Create main.go with the following code:

package main

import (
  "log"
  
  "github.com/indigo-web/indigo"
  "github.com/indigo-web/indigo/http"
  "github.com/indigo-web/indigo/router/inbuilt"
)

func Hello(request *http.Request) *http.Response {
  return http.String(request, "Hello, world!")
}

func main() {
  r := inbuilt.New()
  r.Get("/", Hello)

  err := indigo.New(":8080").Serve(r)
  if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
  }
}

Run the code:

go run main.go

If everything works just fine, you'll see the text Hello, world! on the http://localhost:8080 page.
