This article is a walk through of basics for developing with the Gobuffalo.io framework.

• gobufalo installed successfully
• you're run buffalo plugins list and seen buffalo pop is installed
• go version go1.11.5 darwin/amd64 (running on MAC OSX)
• Buffalo version is: v0.14.6

1. Run buffalo new <app name> --db-type=<db name>.
2. Open <app name> directory in favorite editor.
3. Open database.yml in your editor.
4. Modify settings to match authentication, port and database schema requirements for dev and test.
5. Run buffalo db create. This will create the database for you locally.
6. With this successfully run, I recommend git add && git commit -m "init commit".
7. Ok, now run buffalo dev.
8. Open http://localhost:3000 to view app succesfully running. You should see the routes page listing currently specified routes.

At this point you have a running gobuffalo application running locally.

Now let's modify our application to add CRUD operations for an entity.

1. Run buffalo g resource <resource name> (could be users etc.).
   • notice how it creates migrations, actions, models and templates.
   • Example: buffalo generate resource widget title description:nulls.Text will generate migrations, actions, models and templates plus attributes.
2. Run buffalo db migrate up. This will modify the database.
3. Restart your application. (kill process then run buffalo dev)
4. Now, test your new resource by opening http://localhost:3000/<resource name>/ (http://localhost:3000/widgets/ will show the index page for widgets)
5. Create a new <resource name> or widget to test persistence. If successful, you're off to the races! Be sure to commit changes and push.
