FAQPage Schema
How do I bootstrap a Go web project without Node.js?▼

You can bootstrap a Go web project without Node.js by using HTMX, Templ, and Pico CSS. This setup provides a single-binary deployment with modern frontend interactivity, entirely avoiding Node.js dependencies.

Can I use HTMX with Templ for type-safe templates in Go?▼

Yes, HTMX works with Templ to deliver dynamic pages while enforcing type-safe templates. This combination allows you to build modular layouts and UI components with strict type checking in your Go web service.

How do I set up hot reload for a Go web service during development?▼

You can set up hot reload for a Go web service using Air. Running the `make dev` command starts the hot-reloading server, enabling fast iteration and immediate feedback loops during local development.

What is the best way to style a Go web application without complex frontend tooling?▼

The best way to style a Go web application without complex frontend tooling is using Pico CSS. It provides consistent UI styling out of the box, allowing you to maintain a clean production package without heavy JavaScript frameworks.

Do I need a Makefile to deploy a Go web service as a single binary?▼

Yes, a Makefile is required to manage the development toolchain and build process. It coordinates the Templ workflow and Air live-reload setup to ensure your Go web service compiles into a single binary for deployment.
