  1. babyapi

    A Go CRUD API framework so simple a baby could use it.

    All that's left is adding a little style. I won't claim to be a frontend engineer or a UI designer, so I just used UIKit to easily add modern-looking style to the HTML table and buttons. As mentioned throughout the article, the CSS classes and other small details are excluded since they are not directly relevant to the tutorial. See the full example on GitHub to try running it for yourself.

  3. htmx

    </> htmx - high power tools for HTML

    In my recent article, The Easiest Way to Create a REST API With Go, I demonstrated how babyapi can jumpstart REST API creation. This time, I will walk you through some additional babyapi features and show how to create an easy and dynamic frontend using HTMX. If you're not already familiar, HTMX is a library that basically extends HTML with functionality that normally requires Javascript.

  4. UI kit

    A lightweight and modular front-end framework for developing fast and powerful web interfaces

    All that's left is adding a little style. I won't claim to be a frontend engineer or a UI designer, so I just used UIKit to easily add modern-looking style to the HTML table and buttons. As mentioned throughout the article, the CSS classes and other small details are excluded since they are not directly relevant to the tutorial. See the full example on GitHub to try running it for yourself.
