React Fiber

A sample application to showcase serving React (with Router) with an almost bare Fiber. Hopefully, this application can be of use (as a reference or others) for those who wants to serve their client-side SPA with Fiber.

Technologies

  • Go with Fiber
  • React with TypeScript and React Router
  • Docker

Application

  • This application has three routes: /, /react, and a catch-all, 404 route. / will show the Fiber logo, /react will show the React logo, and the 404 route will show both logos.
  • As this application serves the frontend while backed by a server, the client-side routing will work well and will not cause any issue (unlike if you are running without a file server). You can type the URL route manually in the browser and it will still work and will render the accurate page, so no worries.
  • This is a simplified form of Create React App with TypeScript. With that being said, that's why there is no manifest.json, logo512.png, and other extra things like that.
  • I restructured the project structure to be a bit more modular by categorizing files to assets, components, and styles. I also made it so all of the CSS is loaded in index.tsx for easier seeing.
  • I also moved several dependencies to their appropriate places, such as @types and test in development dependencies instead of dependencies.

Installation

It is recommended that you use Docker to instantly run this application. After running the Docker application, please open localhost:8080 in your browser. Make sure you are in the react-router folder before running these commands.

docker build . -t react-router:latest
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 react-router:latest

If you prefer doing things manually, then the installation steps are as follows:

  • Clone the repository by using git clone git@github.com:gofiber/recipes.git.
  • Switch to the application by using cd recipes/react-router.
  • Install npm dependencies by using cd web && yarn install.
  • Build frontend by using yarn build.
  • Run the Fiber application by using go run cmd/react-router/main.go. Don't forget to return to the main repository by using cd .. (assuming you are in web folder).
  • Open localhost:8080 in your browser.
