Install

Make sure you have the Go compiler and NPM installed. Then issue:

# Download and install this package
go get github.com/tdewolff/go-vue-template

# Download and install client NPM packages
cd web/
npm install

Run

Development mode

Server with DevURL set in config.json will enable CORS headers from localhost:8080. Running the Vue client will automatically open the browser at http://localhost:8080/

# Start API server at :3000
go-vue-template

# Start Vue client with hot-reloading at :8080
cd web/
npm run dev

Production mode

Remove DevURL from config.json, and run:

# Build the web files to web/dist/
npm run build

# Start the webserver at :3000
go-vue-template

Now navigate to http://localhost:3000/. You can change the port in the config.json file.

# Analyze filesizes
npm run build --report
