To run:

• For windows install gnu make with choco install make then just run make at the root directory

Things I learned

• Templating with templ including passing props and dynamic rendering
• Basic file structure for go projects (createing cmd, model, view, handler/controllers folders for organizing)
• How to use Makefile's and run them in windows
• Create and use middleware's in go
• Reading from dontenv with error handling
• when using air with main.go in subdirectory you need to change cmd = "go build -o ./tmp/main.exe ." to cmd = "go build -o ./tmp/main.exe cmd/main.go" in the .air.toml

The packages I used were:

• Godotenv for reading env file go get github.com/joho/godotenv
• Echo for route handling go get github.com/labstack/echo/v4
• First I had to install Templ (for tamplating htmx files) go install github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ@latest more info on temple here then run go get github.com/a-h/templ to use in my project
• Air for hot reloading
• Htmx/Tailwind scripts in base layout
• Setup up hot reloading for tailwind and templ
  • first run make tailwind
  • then run air

Resources

• I chose to follow this walkthough to get a core understanding of how to setup a golang project using temple (formatter) and htmx
