GoDoRP (Golang, Docker, React, Postgres) project starter.

Disclaimer: This project is not actively supported and not recommended for production apps. Hope it serves as a learning resource.

• Start a GoDoRP project with one command on any computer with docker-compose installed
• Dev mode features hot reloading on code changes for both the GoLang backend and React frontend (no need to rebuild containers while coding)
• Production mode features optimized static React frontend and binary goLang backend
• Production images built by passing a single arg option (images can then run on any computer with Docker)

• Anyone can contribute to your project locally without having to setup/install GOPATH, Postgres, node etc
• Dev environment is the same as production environment
• Quickly get your GoDoRP project off the ground
• Forking the repo allows for customization of the template for your preferences

• download docker-compose if not already installed Then run the following commands:

$ mkdir myApp
$ cd myApp
$ git clone https://github.com/McMenemy/GoDoRP.git .
$ docker-compose up

Then you can open the React frontend at localhost:3000 and the RESTful GoLang API at localhost:5000

Changing any frontend (React) code locally will cause a hot-reload in the browser with updates and changing any backend (GoLang) code locally will also automatically update any changes.

Then to build production images run:

$ docker build ./api --build-arg app_env=production 
$ docker build ./frontend --build-arg app_env=production
$ docker build ./db
