Examples

This directory contains small .gwdk files for the current compiler and runtime scaffold. Examples are grouped by capability so build-time pages, generated actions, partial fragments, SSR metadata, styling, embedding, and Go interop can be tested independently.

Run these commands from the repository root. The root gowdk.config.go is part of the example smoke setup and is required by project-level compiler commands, even when explicit .gwdk files are passed.

For task-oriented recipes, use the Native Cookbook. For command, config, routing, generated output, and runtime contracts, use the Reference Index. This file stays focused on example inventory and verification commands.

Current Limitations

• gowdk build emits app-shell HTML, gowdk-routes.json, and gowdk-assets.json for simple app pages, components, literal dynamic paths, and imported Go build data today.
• Default build discovery exists, but the examples are intentionally split by capability because some files are validation-only for the current slice. Pass explicit files for build smoke commands.
• Build-output examples can be served locally with gowdk serve or compiled into an embedded binary with gowdk build --app --bin; the current generated binary supports action redirects, partial action fragments, form input decoder wrappers, and required-field validation, plus concrete and dynamic SSR pages with declared load {} fields and hybrid pages with or without declared load {} data. It runs declared guards for generated SSR/action/API routes, supports native role: and permission: RBAC guard IDs through a required auth provider hook, and fails Go compilation when guard backing code is missing.
• view {} bodies are parsed only for a small app-shell HTML subset; act bodies support the first form-input/redirect subset, api bodies support the first method/route metadata line, and load bodies are still not parsed beyond top-level block detection.
• .gwdk page imports currently support the first build-time data slice: build { => alias.Func() } for a no-argument Go function returning a JSON object. Generated action, API, partial, and load {} user handler wiring is implemented for the supported first request-time signatures.
• guard is enforced by generated SSR/action/API handlers. Custom guarded routes require GOWDKGuardRegistry; native RBAC guard IDs such as role:admin require GOWDKAuthProvider.
• Route params from literal paths {} are available to the current view {} interpolation subset and to literal build {} string interpolation. Imported build functions do not receive route params yet.
• Literal build {} string data and scalar fields returned by imported no-argument Go build functions are available to the current view {} interpolation subset.
• Rich local client-side reactivity beyond the documented component subset is planned.
