goappnew

Purpose

A go-app project structure to bootstrap new projects or experiments.

This is intended to be used with gonew and replaces goappcreate which did basically the same copy/substitute operations.

The following features are included:

A Makefile supporting all the build steps required to run a go-app project.
An application version backed by the current tag and commit hash from git.
A proper split between the wasm and server dependencies to reduce the final wasm size.
Web resources, including the app.wasm are embedded in the server binary during the build.
The server binary uses servicego to allow installation as a service on supported platforms.
The gin web framework is included and brotli compression middleware is pre-configured.
It supports the wasm file size header to correctly display progress on the loading screen when using compression.
When running in dev mode, app updates are automatic.
Uses just a single folder goapp so it can be copied into an existing codebase.
Less than 300 lines of code - easy to understand and modify.
