Vugu

Vugu is an experimental library for web UIs written in Go and targeting webassembly. Guide and docs at http://www.vugu.org. Godoc at https://godoc.org/github.com/vugu/vugu.

If you've ever wanted to write a UI not in JS but pure Go... and run it in your browser, right now... That (experimental;) future is here!

Introducing Vugu, a VueJS-inspired library in Go targeting wasm.

No node. No JS. No npm. No node_modules folder competing with your music library for disk space.

Highlights

• Runs in-browser using WebAssembly
• Single-file components
• Vue-like markup syntax
• Write idiomatic Go code
• Rapid prototyping
• ~3 minute setup
• Standard Go build tools

Still a work in progress, but a lot of things are already functional. Some work really well.

Abbreviated Roadmap

• Single-file components (looks similar to .vue); .vugu -> .go code generation.
• Includes CSS in components.
• Basic flow control with vg-if, vg-for and output with vg-html.
• Dynamic attributes with <tag :prop='expr'>.
• Nested components with dynamic properties <my-custom-component :prop='expr'>.
• Efficently syncs to browser DOM.
• Static HTML output (great for tests).
• DOM Events, click, etc.
• Basic data hashing to avoid unnecessary computation where possible.
• Basic dev and prod server tooling, easy to get started
• URL Router
• Server-side rendering (HTML generation works, needs URL Router to make it usable)
• Performance optimizations
• Go-only component events
• And much more...
