An introduction to ent

Ent, developed by a team at Facebook, is a graph-based entity framework designed for the Go programming language to address the absence of a graph-based ORM. It enables developers to model data in a graph structure using Go code, facilitating intuitive data querying through graph traversal. Ent offers a command-line tool for automatic code schema generation and visual schema representation. The framework simplifies CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, as demonstrated by building a simple API for a note-taking application, and allows for seamless integration with databases like PostgreSQL. The article provides a comprehensive guide on setting up and utilizing Ent, along with a project example that illustrates how to create, read, update, and delete database entries using this framework, underscoring its ease of use and the efficiency of generated assets in handling database interactions without the need for SQL queries.
