This is project provides scaffolding for a Go based web site with live reloading to speed up development.
This project includes the following:
- Flat package structure for easy development.
- Live reloading using my fork of reflex which has websockets support.
- Templating using html/template.
- echo-views package for rendering views.
- echo-middleware I built which provides a set of useful middleware for logging and caching.
- Error pages located in public which are rendered based on error code, these can be modified in public.
- When
DEV_MODEis enabled all assets are live reloaded from the filesystem making updates to templates and assets fast and simple. - When
DEV_MODEis disabled all the assets are built into the binary ,which makes shipping the application to production simple. - Building of assets via esbuild is configured via reflex, this provides fast and efficient bundling of javascript.
- Releases using goreleaser which builds the application for multiple platforms.
- TailwindCSS for styling.
To get started just run make and open the site and start editing the templates in the views folder.
After retrieving dependencies you should see the following output.
