Go has a great feature that it can be packaged into a single binary which is easy for distribution. However when it comes to web application it’s a bit tricky becuase 1. you need to bind frontend assets into the binary and 2. you need to deal with the routing if you are building a single page application(SPA). In this post I will walk you through how to embed a vite built react app into a go binary and how to handle the routing using gin framework.

Go is a fancinating language for building backend service, while React is a modern framework for building frontend web app. I would like to share my experience on how you can put this two together to build a full stack web app. The structure The chance is you probably can find a template on github and develop your app based on that. But I recommend you pause for a second and think about the structure of the codebase.
