Go + Javascript bootstrap template.
An opinionated bootstrap project template to create simple SPA applications with Javascript frontend and Go language backend.
It uses Webpack to create Javascript app bundles and statik tool to embed resulting application into Go binary. As result you get ready to deploy single self-contained binary that will work without dependencies everywhere.
For example deploy to Heroku in one click:
And get something like this.

5. Run the development server:

This will run a server so you can run the app in a browser.
Open your browser and enter localhost:3000 into the address bar.
Also this will start a watch process, so you can change the source and the process will recompile and refresh the browser
Build for deployment:
Run:
npm run deploy
This will optimize and minimize the compiled bundle.
