Go+Svelte boilerplate

early work in progress, some stuff are still not ok

...and many more fun things

So. You want to create a fullstack project. good to go! This is a template, feel free to use for almost everything (except Nazi and Terrorist stuff this is not allowed sorry.).

What is included in this boilerplate:

• Go (obviously)
• Svelte (still obvious)
• Gin Gonic (my bestie http framework for go)
• Vite (...fait,bien fait!)
• Tailwind (utility first ✌️)
• DaisyUI (awesome tailwind components and themes ❤️)
• svelte-navigator (kiss 💋 principle)
• viper for config
• logrus for logs
• Docker stuff for build and deploy

What is not included:

• Sveltekit
• Typescript (unless you wanna try, but I didn't)
• Hate
• Chocolate
• Refunds if not what you expected

Getting started (FINALLY!)

• Create a copy of this project
  • how?
    • download a tarball of it (let me do it for you)
    • or...
    • use the "templating" feature from github (let me do it for you)
• create a config.yaml file empty at root of the folder (it will be populated at first launch with defaults)
• There is a script named rename.sh not working, it is used to replace "BOILERPLATE" in every strings by the name you decide. Be careful to name it well (there's no turning back)
  • run chmod a+x rename.sh && ./rename.sh
  • you can either search and replace while the script is not working.

So you have a fresh project how to work with it ?

First, run (and don't close it):

go run .

which will start the backend application.

Then go to app folder and launch the app.

cd app
yarn #or npm install, i'm not racist
yarn dev # or npm run dev, your problems :) 

The second command will print you an url. If everything's cool, you should have a beautiful example page.

the API is available on /api.

Build for production

I recommend docker, because it's a 3-stage build :

• first for the frontend
• second for the backend
• and then a grouping build on an alpine instance.

you can try at any moment the app with :

docker compose up --build

which exposes port 9000.
