Facebook's React is one of the most dominant libraries for front-end development around. Google's Go programming language is one of the most elegantly crafted languages for server development. Why not combine the two?
This package is an extremely thin wrapper over the native react.js API. The objective was to make it light-weight, developer-friendly and intuitive. You shouldn’t have to scour the documentation to get going — a few peeks should be adequate. If you know your way around the React API and you know a bit of Go, then you should be able to make prototypes and production-worthy applications in no time.
This package is best suited for making Desktop applications using these technologies:
The package is production ready. An optional (but highly convenient) elements sub-package is also included.

- Use
-mcommand line flag to instruct gopher.js to minify code. Then bundle+minify further with Rollup.js xor Webpack/UglifyJS. A Webpack tutorial can be found here. - Apply gzip compression
- Use int instead of (u)int8/16/32/64
- Use float64 instead of float32
- Avoid importing
fmtat all costs (including indirectly). - Use react.JSFn() and use native javascript functions as much as possible.
