go-schedule

Proof of concept scheduling app using Go, HTMX/Hyperscript and Tailwind. The goal was to make this skeleton of a scheduling app work with a traditional server rendered architecture, using HTMX to partially reload parts of the app.

Running Locally

• Start the Application:

  air
  

  then go to localhost:8080/schedule Events can be added or delted by hitting enter

Next steps

This is fairly rudimentary. I've learned that Go's templating library is not ideal for building this kind of app (interpolation is awkwar

d). If I go much further I would probably rewrite with a more robust templating system. Grouping rows by employee team, sorting, adding collapsable and expandable rows, adding vaildation on submit are the tough features

• Sorting would probably be done with either a full page reload, or at least a partial reload targeting the whole calendar. This is where Go's template fragments become frustrating because passing inputs between nested templates is not as comfortable, declarative or typesafe as I would like
• HTMX has a system for vaildation but I'd want to use custom modals, or maybe a toast indicator.
