React + TypeScript (frontend) with planned Gin (backend) in Go codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.
This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged fullstack application built with React for the frontend and planning to implement Gin for the backend in Go, including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.
I've gone to great lengths to adhere to the React and Gin community style guides & best practices.
For more information on how this works with other frontends/backends, head over to the RealWorld repo.
The application is a social blogging site, called "Conduit." It's a Medium.com clone that provides the following functionality:
-
Authentication: Users can register, login, and log out. Registered users can update their profile information and view their own articles.
-
Articles: Users can create, update, and delete articles. They can also comment on articles, and favor or unfavorite them.
-
Tags: Articles can be tagged, and users can filter articles by tags.
-
Profiles: Users can view other profiles, follow and unfollow them.
-
Frontend: Built using React, the frontend is structured with reusable components and follows React's best practices. It communicates with the provided API for CRUD operations.
-
Backend (Planned): The backend is planned to be built with Gin in Go, following RESTful principles, handling authentication, data storage, and server-side logic.
The application provides a real-world example of how a modern web application can be structured and offers a good opportunity for those looking to understand full-stack development using React and planning to integrate Gin in Go for the backend.
To get started with the frontend, you can follow the typical React setup:
npm install npm start
Additional instructions can be provided here for both the frontend and later for the backend once the Gin implementation is complete.
