A simple web application written with Go and Angular

⚠ Disclaimer

I created this project a while ago, and it might need to be updated. Check out Goxygen , a tool for creating modern web projects with Go and Angular, React, or Vue.

I implemented this application while evaluating Go. On the back end side, I used gorilla/mux for routing, Gorm as an ORM engine and google/uuid for UUID generation. On the front end side, I used Angular and Angular Material.

System requirements

You need to have Docker installed in order to build and run the application. No additional tools required.

How to build and run

1. Create a Docker network:

   docker network create students-net
   

2. Start the DB:

   docker run \
     -e POSTGRES_USER=go \
     -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=your-strong-pass \
     -e POSTGRES_DB=go \
     --name students-db \
     --net=students-net \
     postgres:11.5
   

3. Build the application image:

   docker build -t students-app .
   

4. Start the application container:

   docker run -p 8080:8080 \
     -e DB_PASS='your-strong-pass' \
     --net=students-net students-app
   

Access the application via http://localhost:8080
