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.

UI components

The web page displays different components available in Buefy, such as a slider, a clickable button with a dropdown, and a breadcrumb.

Initializing Buefy is the same as initializing any other Vue plugin. It looks the same as what we went through in the previous section when we looked at Vuetify. The code will initialize Vue by using Buefy as stated in the Vue.use(Buefy) code:

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'
import Buefy from "buefy";
Vue.use(Buefy);
new Vue({
 render: h => h(App)
}).$mount('#app')

One of the components that we are using in our sample app is carousel, which displays a user interface like a slideshow. To create carousel, it is just a few lines of code, as shown in the following code snippet, using the <b-carousel> tag:
