go-starter-kit

This project contains a quick starter kit for Facebook React Single Page Apps with Golang server side render and also with a set of useful features for rapid development of efficient applications.

What it contains?

• server side render via go-duktape
• api requests between your react application and server side application directly via fetch polyfill for go-duktape at server side, and it is possible to process requests with user session as well
• title, Open Graph and other domain-specific meta tags render for each page at the server and at the client
• server side redirect
• embedding static files into artefact via bindata
• high performance gin framework
• advanced cli via cli
• Makefile based project
• one(!) terminal window process for development
• routing via react-router
• ES6 & JSX via babel-loader with minimal runtime dependency footprint
• flux architecture via Flummox
• stylus css styles without global namespace via css-loader & css-module
• separate css file to avoid FOUC
• hot reload components & styles via react-hot-loader & HMR
• webpack bundle builder
• eslint and golint rules for Makefile

$ npm i

Install Golang dependencies:

$ export GOPATH=`pwd`
$ go get app/...
$ go get github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata/...

Start dev server:

$ make serve

that's it. Open http://localhost:5001/ at your browser. Now you ready to start coding your awesome project.
