This is a template for developers to use as a starting point for their own RSVP websites. Packaged functionality includes:

1. Displaying mobile friendly event details
2. Creating / Editing / Deleting invitations
3. Creating / Editing / Deleting guest RSVPs

If you already know React, Redux and Golang, you'll find it pretty simple to extend the template!

This is a sample of how details are displayed on the landing page, using dummy values and images from my own event.

The login page protects the control panel section from unauthorized access.

The control panel is to go to page for managing categories, invitations and RSVPs.

• Install NodeJS for npm (built with v8.1.2)
• Install Golang (built with 1.8)
• Install Postgres (built with 9.6.2)
  • Create an empty DB called rsvp_starter_development e.g createdb rsvp_starter_development

The project consists of 2 main parts bundled into one, the client and the server. The front end is built using React+Redux and requires us to bundle the CSS and JS/JSX files for the backend to serve.

1. Make sure you've installed all the requirements above.
2. Clone this repository into your local workstation.
3. cd into the root directory of the repository and run npm install
4. Run node_modules/.bin/webpack --progress --colors to watch JS and CSS files in the client folder. You should see similar output:

➜  rsvp-starter git:(master) ✗ node_modules/.bin/webpack --progress --colors
Hash: b3ca840d2868a20ef74d
Version: webpack 1.15.0
Time: 8136ms
     Asset     Size  Chunks             Chunk Names
 bundle.js  2.69 MB       0  [emitted]  bundle
bundle.css  7.61 kB       0  [emitted]  bundle
    + 950 hidden modules

        + 2 hidden modules

        + 2 hidden modules
Child extract-text-webpack-plugin:
        + 2 hidden modules
Child extract-text-webpack-plugin:
        + 2 hidden modules

The steps above bundle the CS and JS/JSX files into the server/static/build folder. It also automatically rebuilds them each time we save some changes.

We are now ready to start the backend server!

1. In a separate terminal tab, cd to the root directory of the repository and cd into the server folder.
2. Run go get bitbucket.org/liamstask/goose/cmd/goose and goose up to run the DB migrations on your newly created DB.
3. Run POSTGRES_URL=postgres://postgres@localhost:5432/rsvp_starter_development?sslmode=disable HMAC_SECRET="some_secret" TOKEN_ISSUER="some_issuer" gin --appPort 6001. You should see the following output:

[gin] listening on port 3000

This uses the gin code utility to watch our backend Go files and reloads the server if we save changes.
