A Hacker News client written in Go

What is this?

A Hacker News client (yes, another one) written in Go using GopherJS.

What is this built with?

• GopherJS to compile Go to JavaScript
• myitcv.io/react for React bindings
  • JSX is supported, but this app does not have any :)
• Humble/Router for routing

Additional

• Service Worker added with Workbox
• Hosting on Firebase

Setup

1. Fork/clone the repo
2. Install packages:

go get -u github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs	
go get -u myitcv.io/react myitcv.io/react/cmd/reactGen	
go get -u honnef.co/go/js/xhr github.com/go-humble/router	

3. Add GopherJS and ReactGen to PATH:

export PATH="$(dirname $(go list -f '{{.Target}}' myitcv.io/react/cmd/reactGen)):$PATH"

4. Create generated files for each component:

go generate

5. Build the application:

gopherjs build --output build/script.min.js --minify

This will save create script.min.js in the build/ folder. You can use any local testing server in build/ to boot up the application (for example: python -m SimpleHTTPServer if you have Python installed).

Can I contribute?
