inertiajs-go-echo-adapter

A simple Pokédex that shows off a partial implementation of the Inertia.js protocol using the Go programming language with the Echo web framework.

This project was made along with the video "Inertia.js - How it works" to illustrate in code how Inertia.js works.

There is a video series "Let's Build An Inertia.js Adapter in Go", that shows the building of this project with commentary.

Prerequisites

• You must have an installation of the Go programming language, this project used go version go1.21.1 darwin/arm64 at the time it was created
  • Find out how to install it here
• You must have an installation of Node.js, this project used Node.js v18.17.1 at the time it was created
  • Find out how to install it here

Running the example app

• Navigate to the views directory & run npm install

If you are on a Mac/Unix/Linux machine run make dev in the project root to start the vite dev server & go dev server simultaneously; you can also start them individually by running make dev-client & make dev-server respectively

If you are on a Windows machine you can start the vite dev server by running $env:BUILD_ENV='development'; npm --prefix ./views run dev; Remove-Item Env:\BUILD_ENV in the project root; you can start the go dev server by running $env:BUILD_ENV='development'; go run main.go; Remove-Item Env:\BUILD_ENV in the project root.

Note that both the vite dev server & go dev server need to be running for this example to work.

Navigate to http:localhost:3000 & you should see the example Inertia.js app running
