go_htmx_todo_app

A simple to-do list web app using:

• Go, Go Templates, and the standard net/http package
• htmx
• Tailwind CSS
• SQLite

It is barebones and minimally styled, as it was used as a project to explore the basics of different technologies.

Getting Starting

There are a few steps required to get the project working:

Set up SQLite DB

Ensure that SQLite is installed on your machine. Then, initialize the SQLite DB by creating it in the terminal:

sqlite3 todos.db

Then in the SQLite shell prompt, create the table used in the app:

CREATE TABLE `todos` (
        `uid` INTEGER PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT,
        `title` VARCHAR(64) NULL,
        `detail` VARCHAR(64) NULL,
        `created` DATE NULL
    );

Initialize Tailwind CSS

This project uses the standalone Tailwind CLI. The base input.css file is included in this repo. After installing the standalone CLI, generate the css used in the file by running the following command in the shell from the project root:

./tailwindcss -i ./static/input.css -o ./static/output.css

Next Steps

• Improve error handling of Go code
• Better organize html with Go Templates
• Add ability to edit To Do items in-line
• Add confirmation modal before deleting a record
• Update styling
• Add proper header and footer to base html page
