1. Project Setup

Create the project directory and scaffold the module.

go.mod

task-api/
├── cmd/
│   └── main.go
├── internal/
│   ├── users/
│   ├── auth/
│   └── tasks/
├── go.mod
└── .env

mkdir -p task-api/cmd
mkdir -p task-api/internal/{users,auth,tasks}
cd task-api
go mod init task-api

Install all dependencies with go get:

go get github.com/go-minstack/core
go get github.com/go-minstack/gin
go get github.com/go-minstack/sqlite
go get github.com/go-minstack/auth
go get github.com/go-minstack/repository
go get github.com/go-minstack/web
go get golang.org/x/crypto
go get gorm.io/gorm

.env

MINSTACK_DB_URL=task-api.db
MINSTACK_JWT_SECRET=super-secret-key-change-in-production
MINSTACK_PORT=8080

MINSTACK_DB_URL is the SQLite file path. MINSTACK_JWT_SECRET is the HMAC key used by auth.Module() to sign JWTs. For production, use RSA keys instead — see the auth module docs.
