Description
Learn GORM, the most popular ORM for Go! Map Go structs to database tables automatically using gorm.io/gorm with a pure Go SQLite driver — no CGO required. 📚 What you'll learn: - `gorm.Open(sqlite.Open("file.db"))` to connect - `gorm.Model` for auto ID, CreatedAt, UpdatedAt, DeletedAt - `db.AutoMigrate(&User{})` to create tables from structs - `db.Create(&user)` with auto-populated ID - `db.First(&user, 1)` and `db.Find(&users)` for queries - `db.Model().Update()` and `db.Model().Updates()` for modifications - Soft delete with `db.Delete()` and `db.Unscoped()` for recovery - `db.Where("done = ?", true).Find()` for filtered queries - Has Many / Belongs To associations with `UserID` convention - `db.Preload("Posts").First()` for eager loading - Nested create: user with posts in one call - `BeforeCreate` / `AfterCreate` lifecycle hooks - Scopes: reusable query filters like `Expensive` and `NotDiscounted` - `db.Raw()` and `db.Exec()` for raw SQL when needed - `db.Transaction()` with automatic rollback on error ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:30 - GORM Basics (Connect, AutoMigrate, Create, Find) 3:44 - CRUD Operations (Update, Delete, Soft Delete, Unscoped) 8:19 - Associations (Has Many, Belongs To, Preload) 12:32 - Advanced Features (Hooks, Scopes, Raw SQL, Transactions) 18:12 - Recap 18:42 - Up Next: REST API 💻 Code: https://github.com/GoCelesteAI/go_gorm_orm
