A starter go project with auth. After building a bigger SaaS style project, I wanted to pull this out to use as a starter example.
Uses Echo web server, Templ and HTMX for frontend, Sqlite3 and Goose for DB migrations and Air for hot reloading. This has basic user registration with cookie authentication.
Install Mise to manage dependances for go and bun.
Run mise install to install or mise up to update
There are a number of go tools required, such as LSP for Go and Templ. Run the following:
go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest && \
go install github.com/a-h/templ/cmd/templ@latest && \
go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest && \
go install github.com/pressly/goose/v3/cmd/goose@latestcreate .env file with the following:
PRODUCTION=false
GOOSE_DRIVER=sqlite3
GOOSE_DBSTRING=<db_string>
GOOSE_MIGRATION_DIR=./database/migrations
ASSETS_PATH=./app/assets
SESSION_SECRET_KEY=<generate your own secret key. 32 or 64 chars long>
Use Make to build the project. Run make build-dev.
During development, use Air for hot reloading. Run air in project directory should build and start the webserver.
