This repo is a demonstration / sketch for a react+redux frontend with a golang API backend that demonstrates:

  • How to use Auth0 and react to log in
  • Use of higher-level components to protect pages in the frontend that require authorization
  • react-mdl for the design
  • React router to route stuff
  • Redux and redux-thunk for state management
  • Multiple redux reducers using combineReducers
  • UI handling for long running API calls
  • JWT signing for authenticating API calls
  • Proper handling for CORS in Gorilla mux
  • Setting headers with fetch API
  • An npm scripts based build approach with support for watchify and gin

I set it up to server as a micro-lab for working with various authentication options. It took me a lot of research to get all the tiny details right (especially the CORS, JWT, and react login stuff), so I thought I'd share it.

This video provides an overview of the app:

react+redux frontend / golang backend

If there is interest, I'll make another post / video with more detail on how things work. So, if you want to see that, star the repo!

To run it

First, you need a working Golang environment (1.5+)

  • Clone the repo
  • npm install
  • npm run frontend
  • go get to download the go packages

Open your browser to localhost:8000/dist

What's Missing

I should also add this stuff

  • Godeps support
  • Encryption / HTTPS support for the API
  • Encryption for the JWT token
