🎮 Development Server

Run the development server:

make dev

🔥 Hot Reloading

Hot reloading is enabled by default for CSS & JS.

Note: On Windows (WSL2), you might need to run this command separately:

make watch-assets

📊 Database Migrations

Create a New Migration

make db-mig-create add_users_table

➡️ Generates a new migration SQL file in app/db/migrations/

Apply Migrations

make db-up

Reset the Database

make db-reset

Seed the Database

make db-seed

➡️ Runs the seed script in cmd/scripts/seed/main.go

🛠 Creating Views with Templ

SUPERKIT uses Templ for type-safe UI components.
Create structured, reusable HTML fragments with Go templates.

✅ Validations (Coming Soon)

Stay tuned for built-in validation utilities!

🧪 Testing

Test Handlers

make test

➡️ Runs automated tests for controllers & business logic.

📦 Production Release

Compile your application into a single binary:

make build

➡️ Creates a production-ready binary at /bin/app_prod.

Set the environment to production:

SUPERKIT_ENV=production
