• GoFr requires Go version 1.21 or above.

To get started with GoFr, add the following import to your code and use Go’s module support to automatically fetch dependencies:

import "gofr.dev/pkg/gofr"

Alternatively, use the command:

go get -u gofr.dev/pkg/gofr

Here's a simple example to get a GoFr application up and running:

package main

import "gofr.dev/pkg/gofr"

func main() {
	app := gofr.New()

	app.GET("/greet", func(ctx *gofr.Context) (any, error) {
		return "Hello World!", nil
	})

	app.Run() // listens and serves on localhost:8000
}

To run this code:

$ go run main.go

Visit localhost:8000/greet to see the result.
