go-react-todo

- Todo REST API in Go
- React frontend client with Redux.
- Setup with docker & docker-compose.

Database library for postgres is Gorp, livereloading goes to codegangsta/Gin, HTTP framework used is gin-gonic/gin.

Docker-compose file contains the definition for three containers - database (postgres), backend (Go) and frontend (React).

See it in action: http://go-react-todo.trina.si/

Requirements

• docker
• docker-compose

Development setup:

$ docker-compose up

Find your docker-machine IP by running

$ docker-machine env default

Go todo API (backend) can be accessed at port 8080, webpack-dev-server (react frontend) at 9000. Requests from webpack-dev-server are proxied to the Go container by webpack conifig. Live reloading is provided by codegangsta/Gin.

Production setup:

In production livereloading of Go code and a frontend container are not needed. There are now only three containers: postgres database, go backend and a nginx container. A separate docker-compose file is used, as seen below. Run the following scripts in your cloned git directory:

# will create build/ directory in ../nginx/, where it is then 
# mounted into nginx container to be served as static files
$ cd client/ && npm run-script build 
$ cd ../ && docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d

You server container will be listening at port 8002 as exposed in docker-compose.prod.yml.
