This project contains a quick starter kit for Facebook React Single Page Apps with Golang server side render via goja javascript engine, implemented in pure Golang and also with a set of useful features for rapid development of efficient applications.
- server side render via iris
- api requests between your react application and server side application directly via fetch polyfill
- title, Open Graph and other domain-specific meta tags render for each page at the server and at the client
- server side redirect
- embedding static files into artefact via bindata
- highest performance iris framework
- advanced cli via cli
- routing via react-router
- ES6 & JSX via babel-loader with minimal runtime dependency footprint
- redux as state container
- redux-devtools
- css styles without global namespace via PostCSS, css-loader & css-modules
- separate css file to avoid FOUC
- hot reloading via react-transform & HMR
- webpack bundle builder
- eslint and golint rules for Makefile
Note that works even on Windows.

It's simple React application

The client app will be compiled into server/data/static/build/
. Then it will be embedded into go package via go-bindata. After that the package will be compiled into binary.
Convention: javascript app should declare main function right in the global namespace. It will used to render the app at the server side.
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/kataras/iris-starter-kit.git $GOPATH/src/github.com/<username>/<project>
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/<username>/<project>
Install dependencies:
$ npm install
$ webpack
$ cd server && go get ./... && cd ../
Start dev server:
$ cd server
$ go-bindata ./data/...
$ go build
$ server run # ./server.exe run
that's it. Open http://localhost:5001/(if you use default port) at your browser. Now you ready to start coding your awesome project.
Install dependencies and type NODE_ENV=production make build
. This rule is producing webpack build and regular golang build after that. Result you can find at $GOPATH/bin
. Note that the binary will be named as the current project directory.
