Vecty: a frontend toolkit for GopherJS

Vecty is a React-like library for GopherJS so that you can do frontend development in Go instead of writing JavaScript/HTML/CSS.

Features

• Share frontend and backend code.
• Write everything in Go -- not JS/HTML/CSS!
• XSS protection: unsafe HTML must be explicitly denoted as such.
• Reusability: share components by making Go packages that others can import!

Goals

• Simplicity
  • Keep things as simple as possible to understand for newcomers.
  • Designed from the ground up to be easily mastered (like Go)!
• Performance
  • As efficient as possible, make it clear what each operation in your webpage will do.
  • Same performance as just using plain JS/HTML/CSS.
• Composability
  • Nest components to form your entire user interface, seperate them logically as you would any normal Go package.

Current Status

Vecty is currently considered to be an experimental work-in-progress.

• APIs will change.
• The scope of Vecty is only ~80% defined currently.
• There are a number of important open issues.

For a list of projects currently using Vecty, see the doc/projects-using-vecty.md file.
