Frontend

The frontend presents user-facing web pages on pkg.go.dev.

For additional information on functionality of the frontend, see the design document.

Development

The main program lives in cmd/frontend. The bulk of the code lives in internal/frontend.

You can run the frontend locally like so:

go run cmd/frontend/main.go [-dev] [-direct_proxy]
  • The -dev flag reloads templates on each page load.

The frontend can use one of two datasources:

  • Postgres database
  • proxy service

The Datasource interface implementation is available at internal/datasource.go.

You can use the -direct_proxy flag to run the frontend with its datasource as the proxy service. This allows you to run the frontend without setting up a postgres database.

Alternatively, you can run pkg.go.dev with a local database. See instructions on how to set up and populate your local database with packages of your choice.

You can then run the frontend with: go run cmd/frontend/main.go
