Go + htmx rewrite of nailivic

htmx drives the frontend, utilizing HTML as the engine of application state.

Live reload for Go apps, to see your changes in realtime without having to restart your server

Via go install

go install github.com/air-verse/air@latest

Then add an alias to your .bashrc (or whatever you have) so you can run the air server with fewer keystrokes:

alias air='~/usr/go/bin/air'

Github for air.

Templates are handled by go's standard template/html package.

Templates may be comprised of other templates, but template import order matters.

This will work, because index defines subtemplates first, then the subtemplates are loaded.

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/index.html",
    "static/html/head.html",
    "static/html/footer.html",
)

This will not work. 😿

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/head.html",
    "static/html/footer.html",
    "static/html/index.html",
)

This will only work if the files are alphabetized. 🙃

tmpl, err := template.ParseFS(content,
    "static/html/*.html",
)

Backend is a bog standard go server, utilizing a filesystem embedded in the binary for ease and speed.
