Go Vite Kit

Minimal boilerplate project for a Golang server using Fiber and ViteJS for static pages

Features

frontend/

This is a Vite project for building all the static pages used by this app.
backend/

This keeps all server related files
- config/
  
  Loads env variables and keeps them as globals
- database/
  
  Module with a Database interface and two implementation: memDB is an in-memory database for testing purposes. sqliteDB is a wrapper for working with an SQLite database.
- routes/
  
  Various functions for configuring all the server routes.
  
  A very important file is backend/routes/router.go that contains the HtmlEntrypoints variable that is used both by the backend and ViteJS to mount HTML entrypoints.
  
  When building the frontend ViteJS will call go run ./cmd/routes to read the content of this variabile, while during development a special route called /dev/routes gets mounted on the backend server and this lets Vite add all necessary entrypoints to the dev server.

First install the required npm packages

$ npm install

# Development
$ MODE=dev go run -v ./cmd/server

# Development with watcher
$ fd -e go | MODE=dev entr -r go run -v ./cmd/server

You can build everything with the following command, it will build first the frontend and then the backend and generate ./out/server.

# Build
$ go run -v ./cmd/build

# Run
$ ./out/server
