# Go + HTMX Template
|
|
|
|
This is built from the template https://github.com/Piszmog/go-htmx-template that comes with everything you need to build a Web Application using Go (templ) and HTMX.
|
|
|
|
The template comes with a basic structure of using a SQL DB (`sqlc`), E2E testing (playwright), and styling (tailwindcss).
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Clone https://github.com/Piszmog/go-htmx-template
|
|
|
|
Once cloned, run the `update_module.sh` script to change the module to your module name.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
./update_module my-new-module
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Technologies
|
|
|
|
A few different technologies are configured to help getting off the ground easier.
|
|
|
|
- [sqlc](https://sqlc.dev/) for database layer
|
|
- Stubbed to use SQLite
|
|
- This can be easily swapped with [sqlx](https://jmoiron.github.io/sqlx/)
|
|
- The script `upgrade_sqlc.sh` is available to upgrade GitHub Workflow files to latest sqlc version
|
|
- [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) for styling
|
|
- Output is generated with the [CLI](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation)
|
|
- [templ](https://templ.guide/) for creating HTML
|
|
- The script `upgrade_templ.sh` is available to make upgrading easier
|
|
- [HTMX](https://htmx.org/) for HTML interaction
|
|
- The script `upgrade_htmx.sh` is available to make upgrading easier
|
|
- [goose](https://github.com/pressly/goose) for DB migrations
|
|
|
|
TODO: investigate https://github.com/DATA-DOG/go-sqlmock for testing
|
|
|
|
Technologies we're no longer using:
|
|
- [golang migrate](https://github.com/golang-migrate/migrate) for DB migrations
|
|
- [playwright-go](https://github.com/playwright-community/playwright-go) for E2E testing.
|
|
|
|
Everything else uses the standard library.
|
|
|
|

### Components
|
|
|
|
This is where `templ` files live. Anything you want to render to the user goes here. Note, all
|
|
`*.go` files will be ignored by `git` (configured in `.gitignore`).
|
|
|
|
### DB
|
|
|
|
This is the directory that `sqlc` generates to. Update `queries.sql` to build
|
|
your database operations.
|
|
|
|
Once `queries.sql` is updated, run `make generate-sql` to update the generated models
|
|
|
|
#### DB Migrations
|
|
This project now uses [goose](https://github.com/pressly/goose) for DB migrations.
|
|
|
|
Install via `brew install goose` on a mac, or install via golang with command `go install github.com/pressly/goose/v3/cmd/goose@latest`
|
|
|
|
Create a new up/down migration file with this command
|
|
```shell
|
|
goose -dir db/migrations sqlite3 ./db.sqlite3 create init sql
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Dist
|
|
|
|
This is where your assets live. Any Javascript, images, or styling needs to go in the
|
|
`dist/assets` directory. The directory will be embedded into the application.
|
|
|
|
Note, the `dist/assets/css` will be ignored by `git` (configured in `.gitignore`) since the
|
|
files that are written to this directory are done by the Tailwind CSS CLI. Custom styles should
|
|
go in the `styles/input.css` file.
|
|
|
|
### E2E
|
|
|
|
To test the UI, the `e2e` directory contains the Go tests for performing End to end testing. To
|
|
run the tests, run the command
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
go test -v ./... -tags=e2e
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The end to end tests, will start up the app, on a random port, seeding the database using the
|
|
`seed.sql` file. Once the tests are complete, the app will be stopped.
|
|
|
|
The E2E tests use Playwright (Go) for better integration into the Go tooling.
|
|
|
|
### Log
|
|
|
|
This contains helper function to create a `slog.Logger`. Log level and output type can be set
|
|
with then environment variables `LOG_LEVEL` and `LOG_OUTPUT`. The logger will write to
|
|
`stdout`.
|
|
|
|
### Server
|
|
|
|
This contains everything related to the HTTP server. It comes with a graceful shutdown handler
|
|
that handles `SIGINT`.
|
|
|
|
#### Router
|
|
|
|
This package sets up the routing for the application, such as the `/assets/` path and `/` path.
|
|
It uses the standard libraries mux for routing. You can easily swap out for other HTTP
|
|
routers such as [gorilla/mux](https://github.com/gorilla/mux).
|
|
|
|
#### Middleware
|
|
|
|
This package contains any middleware to configured with routes.
|
|
|
|
#### Handler
|
|
|
|
This package contains the handler to handle the actual routes.
|
|
|
|
#### Styles
|
|
|
|
This contains the `input.css` that the Tailwind CSS CLI uses to generate your output CSS.
|
|
Update `input.css` with any custom CSS you need and it will be included in the output CSS.
|
|
|
|
#### Version
|
|
|
|
This package allows you to set a version at build time. If not set, the version defaults to
|
|
`dev`. To set the version run the following command,
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
go build -o ./app -ldflags="-X version.Value=1.0.0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See the `Makefile` for building the application.
|
|
|
|
## Run
|
|
|
|
There are a couple builtin ways to run the application - using `air` or the `Makefile` helper
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Install [templ](https://templ.guide/quick-start/installation) - `go install github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ@latest`
|
|
- Install [sqlc](https://docs.sqlc.dev/en/stable/overview/install.html)
|
|
- Install [tailwindcss CLI](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/installation)
|
|
|
|
#### tailwindcss
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Example for macOS arm64
|
|
curl -sLO https://github.com/tailwindlabs/tailwindcss/releases/latest/download/tailwindcss-macos-arm64
|
|
chmod +x tailwindcss-macos-arm64
|
|
sudo mv tailwindcss-macos-arm64 /usr/local/bin/tailwindcss
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Makefile
|
|
|
|
You can also run with the provided `Makefile`. There are commands to generate `templ` files and
|
|
tailwind output css.
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
# Generate and watch templ
|
|
make generate-templ-watch
|
|
|
|
# Genrate and watch tailwindcss
|
|
make generate-tailwind-watch
|
|
|
|
# Run application
|
|
make run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Github Workflow
|
|
|
|
The repository comes with two Github workflows as well. One called `ci.yml` that lints and
|
|
tests your code. The other called `release.yml` that creates a tag, GitHub Release, and
|
|
attaches the Linux binary to the Release.
|
|
|
|
Note, the version of `github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ` matches the version in `go.mod`. If these
|
|
do not match, the build will fail. When upgrading your `templ` version, make sure to update
|
|
`ci.yml` and `release.yml`.
|
|
|
|
### GoReleaser
|
|
|
|
If you need to compile for more than Linux, see [GoReleaser](https://goreleaser.com/) for a
|
|
better release process.
