React & Vite (TypeScript)

This template provides a minimal setup for getting React working with Vite for the frontend and go on the backend. It allows you to easily integrate React with Tailwind CSS and Vite for fast development.

The React advanced flag can be combined with the Tailwind flag for enhanced styling capabilities.

Usage

• Navigate to the frontend directory: First, navigate to the frontend directory where the React project resides.

cd frontend

• Install Dependencies: Use npm to install all necessary dependencies.

npm install

• Run the Development Server: Start the Vite development server for local development. This will launch a live-reloading server on a default port.

npm run dev

You should now be able to access the React application by opening a browser and navigating to http://localhost:5173.

You can extend the vite.config.ts to include additional configurations as needed, such as adding plugins for optimizing the build process, enabling TypeScript support, or configuring Tailwind CSS.

Makefile

The make run target will start the Go server in the backend, install frontend dependencies, and run the Vite development server for the frontend.

run:
    @go run cmd/api/main.go &
    @npm install --prefix ./frontend
    @npm run dev --prefix ./frontend

After running this command, you can verify the connection between the frontend and backend by checking the console. You can also fetch data from the backend to test the integration.

Dockerfile

Combine React advanced flag wiht Docker flag to get Docker and docker-compose configuration and run them with:

make docker-run
