Full-Stack Web Development with Go

By: Nanik Tolaram, Nick Glynn

Overview of this book

Go is a modern programming language with capabilities to enable high-performance app development. With its growing web framework ecosystem, Go is a preferred choice for building complete web apps. This practical guide will enable you to take your Go skills to the next level building full stack apps. This book walks you through creating and developing a complete modern web service from auth, middleware, server-side rendering, databases, and modern frontend frameworks and Go-powered APIs. You’ll start by structuring the app and important aspects such as networking, before integrating all the different parts together to build a complete web product. Next, you’ll learn how to build and ship a complete product by starting with the fundamental building blocks of creating a Go backend. You’ll apply best practices for cookies, APIs, and security, and level up your skills with the fastest growing frontend framework, Vue. Once your full stack application is ready, you’ll understand how to push the app to production and be prepared to serve customers and share it with the world. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned how to build and ship secure, scalable, and complete products and how to combine Golang with existing products using best practices.

Using UI components

There are many components provided with Vuetify but in this section, we will just talk about a few of them to get an idea of how to use them. The example code uses components such as a color picker, button, badge, and so on.

Figure 8.3 shows the directory structure of the example. All of the source files are inside the src/ folder:

The main.js host code for initializing Vue and Vuetify is shown in the following snippet:

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import vuetify from './plugins/vuetify';
Vue.config.productionTip = false
new Vue({
 vuetify,
 render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

The code looks like any other Vue-based application except it adds the Vuetify framework, which is imported from the plugins/vuetify directory, as shown in this snippet:

import Vue from 'vue';
import Vuetify from ...
