Coded in Golang and React, this project will hopefully help provide insight to other coders on how to create a web application using this language and framework.

Installation

To build the Resounden binary, you must have Go installed on the machine.

Built with:

Go v1.5.1 linux/amd64
React (with addons) v0.14.1
Babel v6.2.0 (babel-core 6.2.1) (babel-preset-react 6.1.18)

1. go version to check your Go version.
2. Make sure your GOPATH environment variable is set.
3. go get to get the required Go packages.
4. go build to build the binary.
5. sudo setcap "cap_net_bind_service=+ep" resounden
   Allows the binary to bind port 80 (and <1024) as a non-root user.
6. Enter a valid Soundcloud App Client ID in config.json and save.
7. ./resounden to start Resounden.

To compile the resounden.jsx React code into a regular JavaScript file, you must use Babel with the React preset:

1. cd public/js to browse to the JavaScript directory.
2. npm install babel-preset-react to install the React preset for Babel.
3. babel --presets "react" -o resounden.js resounden.jsx
