Facebook's React is one of the most dominant libraries for front-end development around. Google's Go programming language is one of the most elegantly crafted languages for server development. Why not combine the two?

This package is an extremely thin wrapper over the native react.js API. The objective was to make it light-weight, developer-friendly and intuitive. You shouldn’t have to scour the documentation to get going — a few peeks should be adequate. If you know your way around the React API and you know a bit of Go, then you should be able to make prototypes and production-worthy applications in no time.

This package is best suited for making cross-platform Desktop applications using these technologies:

• webview
• lorca
• go-astilectron
• gotron
• electron.js

The package isproduction ready. An optional (but highly convenient)elements sub-package is also included.

SeeTutorial here.

⭐the project to show your appreciation.

• React 16.5.2 (it will probably work with lower)
• Gopherjs (Go to Javascript transpiler)
• create-react-class
• react-addons-pure-render-mixin (optional: For creating aPureComponent)

go get -u github.com/rocketlaunchr/react

The examples can befound here:

• How to create React class components
• How to pass props from parent to child
• How to useUnmarshalProps() andUnmarshalState()
• How to usestate() andsetState()
• How to create strongly-typed structured props and states

• How to create React functional components
• How to handle events (and pass extra arguments)
• How to create a Ref and interact with dom object directly

• 100% written in Go
• Cross-platform (macOS, Win, Linux)
• Electron.js based
• How to bundle javascript dependencies usingrollup.js

• Use-m command line flag to instruct gopher.js to minify code. Then bundle+minify further withrollup.js xorWebpack/UglifyJS. A Webpack tutorial can befound here.
• Applygzip compression
• Use int instead of (u)int8/16/32/64
• Use float64 instead of float32
• Avoid importingfmt at all costs (including indirectly). Usefmtless instead.
• Avoid importingnet/http for http requests (including indirectly). Usegopherjs-xhr instead.
• Until GopherJS supports Go1.13+, avoid using the standard librariescontext package because it usesfmt. Instead usecontext fromforks sub-package.
• Avoid importinghonnef.co/go/js/dom if possible.
• Usereact.JSFn() and use native javascript functions as much as possible.
• https://github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs/wiki/JavaScript-Tips-and-Gotchas
• See ifjsgo is appropriate for your web-based project.
• To reduce file size, copy only what's required fromelements sub-package.
• For json unmarshaling, tryslim-decoder or usejson

• WebAssembly version

• dataframe-go - Statistics and data manipulation
• dbq - Zero boilerplate database operations for Go
• electron-alert - SweetAlert2 for Electron Applications
• igo - A Go transpiler with cool new syntax such as fordefer (defer for for-loops)
• mysql-go - Properly cancel slow MySQL queries
• remember-go - Cache slow database queries
