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.

Better input handling with Cleave.JS

As we’ve just seen, getting data from your users in the right shape and form can be a challenge – be it a date in a YYYY/MM format, a phone number with a prefix, or other more structured input types.

We looked at validation previously, but you can further help your users by providing visual clues and feedback as they type to prevent them from reaching the end with validation errors – libraries such as those provided by the popular credit card and online payments processor. Stripe does a great job at helping users enter their credit card info correctly, but for those of us on a budget, we can use Cleave. js for a similar experience.

Frustratingly, Vue isn’t supported as a first-class citizen but there’s no reason we can’t set up the directive, which is available at codesandbox.io here – https://bit.ly...
