This is a full-stack golang dad joke application. Everything you've ever dreamed of.
It pulls dad jokes from the web, stores them in a local mongoDB instance, and
allows you to view them from a simple UI in your browser. The UI refreshes
every 5s, so each time you run the collector service, you'll get a new joke
and see it appear.
Each component is written with go. This is a work-in-progress, meant only to be a project for learning full-stack go apps. Feel free to poke around.
- Docker & Docker Compose
- go 1.22.0+
From the root of the project, just run docker compose up -d to start all of
the backend components.
The collector service will immediately exit after it runs and collects 1
joke. To collect more jokes, simply run the same up command again:
First you'll need the tailwindcli standalone binary, you can use my install script to make it real ez if you have gum.
./ui/install.shThe frontend runs separately currently. To run it with hot-reloading, first install air
go install github.com/cosmtrek/air@latestThen you can run the UI using it (assuming you've added the $GOPATH/bin
folder to your path)
cd ui/
airCollects dad jokes from the internetz and writes it to the database via the API. Each time it runs, a new joke is added.
Written with Gin, allows read and write of jokes to the database.
MongoDB
Server-side rendered HTML. The API that serves up the UI is written with Chi (because why not try something different)
