Go Vue Starter

Create env.json with database and server configuration for local development:

{
	"dbUser": "matt",
	"dbPass": "somepassword",
	"dbName": "starterdemo",
	"httpPort": "2020",
	"versionStamp": ""
}

Version stamp is updated automatically when running restart.sh.

Run sh init.sh to build the frontend, start the server, and initialize the database.

Run sh restart.sh to rebuild the frontend and start the server.

You may have to delete package-lock.json and re-install the dev dependencies listed in package.json at their latest versions to get a working build.

All files in css, img, and js are public.

Add libraries

go mod init github.com/macu/go-vue-starter
go get github.com/jackc/pgx/v4/stdlib
go get github.com/gorilla/mux

Mac setup

A postgres password must be set before the app can connect.

$ brew install postgresql go node jq
$ psql postgres
postgres=# ALTER USER matt WITH PASSWORD 'somepassword';
postgres=# \q
$ cd starterdemo
// Update env.json
$ npm install
$ sh init.sh

Create Postgres database

$ psql postgres
postgres=# CREATE DATABASE starterdemo;

Access database from command line

$ psql starterdemo
postgres=# \dt
postgres=# \d+ user_account

Build and run

On first use, or to re-initialize database:

$ sh init.sh

To rebuild client and server, and run:

$ sh restart.sh
