Insights

Insights provides real-time analytics for web applications, without impacting site performance.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Git

Getting Started

The development environment is provided by containers.

git clone git@github.com:dayvidwhy/insights.git
cd insights
docker-compose up --build
docker exec -it insights-app bash

Copy the example env file and update the variables.

cp .env.example .env

Build and run the server:

go build -o bin/server server.go
./bin/server

Or with go run:

go run server.go

Server will be available at localhost:1323 on your machine.

VSCode Integration

For an optimized development experience, attach VSCode to the running insights-app container:

1. Use the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and select: >Dev Containers: Attach to Running Container...
2. Choose /insights-app from the list.

VSCode will recommend the Go extension when you open a .go file.
