About GNORM

GNORM is not your typical Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool. It’s a robust solution that transforms your database schema into in-memory data structures. Think of it as a highly efficient chef who takes raw ingredients (your database structure) and crafts exquisite dishes (code, documentation, or any textual output) using your own templates. Written in Go, GNORM has the remarkable ability to generate outputs in multiple languages, including Ruby, Python, Protobufs, HTML, and JavaScript.

With GNORM, you are in control of how the output looks—allowing for type-safe database queries that outperform traditional ORM methods. Plus, it provides the capability to create REST or RPC APIs exposing your database’s data.

How to Install GNORM

Installing GNORM is a breeze since it has no dependencies. Simply download the executable for your operating system. You can find the latest release here.

Building GNORM

Here comes a little twist: GNORM uses a Go vanity URL. While you can install it with `go get`, it might not provide accurate version reporting or show documentation in your browser. For the best experience, follow the steps below to use a magefile that takes care of the heavy lifting:

• Run `go get github.com/magefile/mage` to install the mage tool.
• Navigate to the GNORM repository.
• Run `mage build` to compile the project.

Alternatively, if you prefer using Git, make sure to clone the repository into your `$GOPATH/src/gnorm.org/gnorm` directory.

Discussion

If you have any questions or would like to contribute to GNORM, you can connect with developers on the #gnorm channel on Gopher Slack. There’s also a dedicated #gnorm-dev channel equipped with GitHub integrations displaying ongoing work.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any hiccups while installing or using GNORM, here are a few troubleshooting tips to consider:

• Make sure that you have Go installed and properly set up on your machine.
• If the build fails, double-check that you are using the correct version of Go and that any dependencies are correctly vendored within the project.
• If you initiated a `go get` installation and are facing issues with version reporting, it’s recommended to switch to the magefile method for a more reliable setup.
