go-preact-starter
Starter for combining Go and Preact in any web project.
How It Works?
- Renders Preact components on serverside using go-duktape
- Unifies client-side and server-side routing on one JSON file.
- Watches Go, JS, CSS files, compiles them automatically and refreshes your browser.
- Uses Browserify, no configuration needed.
- Supports server-side templating for HTML documents that wraps the application. So you can have multiple pages.
- Locates all Go dependencies inside the project for security by giving you a convenient GOPATH setup.
- Provides caching when development mode is disabled.
Install
Clone the repo and install the dependencies:
git clone [email protected]:azer/go-preact-starter.git hello-world
cd hello-world
make install # install dependencies needed
make develop # start developing! visit localhost:9000 to see your website!Coding Notes
- Create UI components under frontend/components
- Define your routes on
routes.json, point them to a valid component. - Run
make go-getandmake frontend-installto install new dependencies. - Edit .env file to choose different host/port for serving.
What's missing ?
- API polyfill for backend
- Could be nice to see backend errors on the browser.
