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.

Summary

Excitedly, we’ve now got enough knowledge to complete the development of our full-stack app. In this chapter, we introduced JWT-based tokens, talked about when and why to use them, and covered a few “gotchas.” We then revisited cookie handling between our front and backend parts before, finally, moving on to Vue Router.

Closing off the chapter with Vue Router, we looked at adding navigation guards, looked at how we can use meta values to enhance our development experience and mark pages for authorization, before finishing off by setting up our catch-all error-handling route so that our users have a great experience.

In the next chapters, we’ll look at getting our app into production and getting ready for our first users.
