Newb question: Go for back end, how to combine with JS/React/etc

So this is a pretty big newb question but I'm kinda struggling to find examples and resources of how to link the whole back end and front end together.

I've found a lot of stuff on simple APIs which makes sense but I'd like to know more about securing them (so people cant just capture the API paths and spam it or whatever) as well as other methods for having the front and back end communicate properly

Hopefully I'm not missing an obvious resource but I've been looking for a short while now

Just setup some form of REST API and have the JS interact with that. There should be some standard way the JS expects the API to be I imagine and you just build it to those specs.

Yeah this is what I would do.

It uses Go in the backend and React as its frontend framework. It is an open source alternative to slack.

We just did this in the past week or so for https://github.com/gocraft/work -- The "webui" package exposes a JSON API, which is consumed by a React app. The React app is embedded in the binary with go-bindata.

This is the commit that does it -- https://github.com/gocraft/work/commit/a2c1415609571df1b5d8a7e0e97578c05f48db99 -- you can find some notes in DEVELOPING.md as well about how to do the asset stuff.

https://github.com/beeker1121/resounden is my first project coded in Golang and React. There's really only one place where the frontend communicates with the backend, when someone searches for a Soundcloud user.

You can find the React code in public/js/resounden.jsx

Edit: There's frontend/backend communication also for getting more tracks as the user scrolls down the page.

If you don't mind using Amber or Pongo2 (or HTML) combined with Lua for server-side logic, Algernon has built-in support for JSX and caching. It's written in Go: https://github.com/xyproto/algernon/tree/master/samples/react/tutorial1

With Lua it's easier to quickly test changes to the business logic. You can call Python or Go if needed.

Iggymacd:

Have a look at Goa to design your app back end and have goa generate idiomatic Golang backend API that is Restful. Combine that with a frontend like Angular2 (batteries included approach and easier than angular1) or something more lightweight like react.

gopherjs is pretty great. 

interactiv_:

lol no.

shovelpost:

What's wrong with gopherjs?

hukiki:

Nothing. But this was not the answer to the question. OP wanted to know how to get go to take care of the backend things while js/react took care of the front end.
