Boilerplate setup for App Engine using Go

Google App Engine Go Boilerplate

About

This project aims to give developers an easy to use boilerplate project that can easily jumpstart projects utilizing App Engine's Go runtime and the Closure compiler.

Features

• Preliminary backend boilerplate taken care of!
• Directory structure supports applications with backend/frontend architecture, using RPC calls to go between.
• Built in support for Closure.
• Incorporates plovr to dynamically recompile JS during development

Usage

Backend Changes

Do nothing; App Engine should pick up your edits and recompile automatically

Frontend Changes

• Run build.sh, which runs plovr in server mode. Our default index.html calls out to the plovr daemon to recompile the JS as defined in config.js.

Deploying to App Engine

• Not finished.

TODO

• Develop push-to-production system.
• Incorporate basic User model for backend.
• Build example RPCs.
• Include a more advanced directory structure for the frontend JS.
• See about incorporating html5bp?
