azer / Go Choo Starter

go-choo-starter

Starter for choo projects with Go backend. No configuration needed.

How It Works?

• Renders choo views on server-side with go-duktape.
• Provides a simple Makefile to manage your project;
  • make start starts everything
  • make stop stops all
  • make develop starts the server and watches everything (Go, JS, CSS) for changes.
  • make setup installs all dependencies (Go and JS)

Install

Clone the repo and install the dependencies:

git clone [email protected]:azer/go-choo-starter.git hello-world
cd hello-world
make setup # Runs `go get` and `npm install` for you.

First Steps

Here is how you start the server:

make develop

develop watches your code (Go, JS and CSS) and applies changes immediately. If you don't need that, you can run make start and make stop commands. You should use these two commands when you're not actively changing your code.

Coding

• Create UI components under ui/components/ folder and route them at ui/app.js
• Create API endpoints at server/api.go like the example there.
• Use make go-get to fetch dependencies when you have new dependencies in the backend.
• Any file under ./public directory will be online at same path.
• Run make build to build everything. Run make go-build and make ui-build to build each separately.
• Run make clean to clean everything. Run make go-clean and make ui-clean to clean each separately.
