Go Web Scaffold

A minimalist web application scaffold using Go and TailwindCSS.

Getting Started

1. Install dependencies:

   npm i
   

2. Run the development watcher:

   go run pkg/watcher/main.go
   

This will start a file watcher that enables live reload when editing files.

Project Structure

• cmd/example/main.go: Your main application entry point
• pkg/watcher/main.go: Development file watcher
• static/: Static assets and compiled CSS
• templates/: HTML templates

Development

Edit your application code in cmd/example/main.go or create new examples in the cmd folder.

Basic example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"

    "github.com/renniemaharaj/go-web-scaffold/internal/app"
)

// The directory to export the document to
var dist = "static"

func main() {
    // Create a new document
    doc := app.MyDocument()

    // Build the document and capture any error
    if err := doc.Build(dist); err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("Error building document: %v\n", err)
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Document built successfully")
}

The watcher will automatically detect changes and rebuild your application. You can build on what i've built, but I plan on integrating typescript, docker, golang linting, writing tests, templ and formatting soon.
