Getting started

The easiest way to create a simple web app, is to use the gofer-skeleton app. The skeleton app should give you an idea how to create a web app with the gofer framework.

Install for development

gofer-skeleton offers two ways to install a dev env. Both ways offer a backend and frontend hot reload. For performance reasons I would suggest the local env.

Docker-compose

Requirements:

• Docker

Run this command in the application folder.

docker-compose up

local

Requirements:

• GO
• Node.JS
• DB instance (mysql)

1) import the sql dump file to your mysql instance and define your mysql server in the config.json file (databases).

2) Install fresh. Which is a file monitoring tool for GO.

go get github.com/gravityblast/fresh

3) Run the following command in the application folder:

Will start the backend(go) hot reload.

fresh 

switch to the frontend

cd frontend/
npm install
npm run serve

The application is now running under localhost:8080
