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.

GitHub Packages

GitHub Packages is a service provided by GitHub that allows developers to host their packages. These packages can be accessed either by your team or made available to the general public. We will use this service to publish our Docker image and make it available to be consumed by the public.

There are a few things we need to set up before we can deploy our Docker image into GitHub Packages. This section will walk you through the steps required to set up your repository. We will use GitHub.com/nanikjava/golangci as a reference in this section.

You can access GitHub Packages from your repository by clicking on the Packages link, as shown in Figure 12.9.

Once you click on the Packages link, you will be shown a screen similar to that in Figure 12.10. There will be no Packages displayed as we have not yet published any.
