[Feedback Wanted] Goilerplate - Modern UI Components for Go & Templ

[axzilla]

Hey fellow developers,

I'm working on Goilerplate, a library of modern UI components for Go and Templ. It's designed to help build sleek, interactive web applications, with seamless Alpine.js integration for enhanced client-side functionality.

Currently, I have only a few components implemented, with plans for daily updates and bug fixes. Before investing more time, I'd love to get your thoughts:

• Is this something you'd find useful in your Go projects?
• What components would you like to see prioritized?
• Any features you think are crucial for a project like this?

Your feedback will help shape the direction of Goilerplate. Thanks in advance!

Hey fellow developers,

Following up on Goilerplate's recent v0.20.1 release, I wanted to share some exciting new developments that make it even easier to get started with and use our UI component library for Go and Templ.

1. New Quickstart Project
   We've created a Goilerplate Quickstart repository to help you hit the ground running. It's pre-configured with Goilerplate, Templ, and Tailwind CSS, providing a solid foundation for your projects.

2. Flexible Usage Options

   • Package Library: go get github.com/axzilla/goilerplate
   • Copy-Paste Components: For maximum customization, you can now easily copy individual components into your project.
   • Mix and Match: Use both approaches as needed in your project!

3. Lucide Icon Wrapper
   We've integrated a Lucide icon wrapper, giving you access to a wide range of beautiful, customizable icons right out of the box.

Here's a quick example of how easy it is to use Goilerplate now:

import "github.com/axzilla/goilerplate/pkg/components"

// In your Templ files
@components.Button(components.ButtonProps{Text: "Click me"})
@components.Icon(components.IconProps{Name: "user"})

We'd love to hear your thoughts on these new features. Have you tried the Quickstart project? How do you prefer to use UI libraries in your Go projects?

Check out our GitHub repo for more details and don't hesitate to open issues or contribute!

Let's discuss how we can make Go UI development even better!

BTW: Can you please explain these two topics in more detail?

Interested in additional form components, and some docs on how to make your own components that match the style of
goilerplate well.

Sorry, realised I never replied, but got pinged on this thead and saw it!

I was just saying that I would be interested in seeing more form components - checkboxes, date pickers, etc.

Re: matching style, I was looking for some sort of style guide for extending the set of goilerplate components. For example, explanations of which colours / fonts / padding / icons and css classes etc. to use if you want to create something that matches the visual style of the component set.

[axzilla]

Got it, thanks for that. Did you already check out the "new" icons component?

This one? https://goilerplate.com/docs/components/icon

Looks great!

[axzilla]

Yes thanks. It's a "typed" and memory saving version now.
