This project contains a quick starter kit for Facebook React Single Page Apps with Golang server side render via goja javascript engine, implemented in pure Golang and also with a set of useful features for rapid development of efficient applications.
- server side render via goja
- api requests between your react application and server side application directly via fetch polyfill
- 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 echo 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
- redux as state container
- redux-devtools
- css styles without global namespace via PostCSS, css-loader & css-modules
- separate css file to avoid FOUC
- hot reloading via react-transform & HMR
- webpack bundle builder
- eslint and golint rules for Makefile
Note that probably not works at windows.

The ./server/ is flat golang package.
It's simple React application

The client app will be compiled into server/data/static/build/. Then it will be embedded into go package via go-bindata. After that the package will be compiled into binary.
Convention: javascript app should declare main function right in the global namespace. It will used to render the app at the server side.
Clone the repo:
$ git clone [email protected]:olebedev/go-starter-kit.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/<username>/<project>
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/<username>/<project>
Install dependencies:
$ make install
Start dev server:
$ make serve
that's it. Open http://localhost:5001/(if you use default port) at your browser. Now you ready to start coding your awesome project.
Install dependencies and type NODE_ENV=production make build. This rule is producing webpack build and regular golang build after that. Result you can find at $GOPATH/bin. Note that the binary will be named as the current project directory.
