wx

wx is an open-source framework that allows you to quickly build Go apps that use Svelte for rendering web pages.

This project was heavily inspired by bud. wx tries to be less opinionated about your Go app build process.

IMPORTANT!

This project is at the very early stage. Do not use it for production! Wait until v1 is released.

Usage

Installation

go get github.com/apack/wx
go install github.com/apack/wx/cmd/...

Initialize Views

Open your Go app folder and initialize views.

wx init

This will create files:

app
├── app.wx.go
├── components
│   ├── Button.svelte
│   └── Counter.svelte
├── gen.go
├── layouts
│   └── DefaultLayout.svelte
├── static
│   └── logo.svg
└── views
    └── WelcomeView.svelte

NOTE: Every time you change these files run go generate ./app.

Create Server

Load your app and add handler.

package main

import (
	"net/http"
	"your/path/to/app"

	"github.com/apack/wx"
)

func main() {
	web := wx.NewRouter()
	err := app.Load(web)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	web.HandleMethodFunc("GET", "/", handleWelcomeView())
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", web)
}

func handleWelcomeView() wx.HandlerFunc {
	return func(ctx *wx.Context) error {
		return ctx.View(app.WelcomeView, wx.Props{
			"count": 111,
		})
	}
}
