Add a Go backend

Add Go routes with the @primate/go module. Write handlers in Go; Primate compiles them to WebAssembly and wires them like JS routes.

Make sure the Go executable is available in your PATH. Primate needs it to compile your routes to WebAssembly.

1) Install

Install the Primate Go package.

$ npm install @primate/go

2) Configure

Load the Go module in your configuration.

TypeScriptconfig/app.ts

import go from "@primate/go";
import config from "primate/config";

export default config({ modules: [go()] });

3) Write a route

Compose a route in Go.

Goroutes/index.go

package main

import (
	"github.com/primate-run/go/core"
	"github.com/primate-run/go/route"
)

var _ = route.Get(func(_ route.Request) any { return "Hello from Go" })
var _ = route.Post(func(_ route.Request) any { return core.Dict{"ok": true} })
