Creating a template for simple web apps using Go and Next

I've been learning how to create web apps with Go, gqlgen, and Next, and I wanted to create a step-by-step guide outlining how to build a reusable scaffold. As I learned more, I felt compelled to distill my learning in order to better understand the logic that goes into creating more complex apps. So, of course I made a tutorial!

In this tutorial, I go over each of the steps necessary for creating a reusable web app template using Go on the backend and Next on the frontend. I then show how to define and use custom schemas using gqlgen to create GraphQL APIs that can be requested by the frontend. Finally, I show how to add frontend components and connect it all through an Apollo client.

Soon, I'll add some tutorials outlining some more complex logic, including how to do persist our data with a Postgres DB, so stay tuned! You can also check out some of my other in-depth tutorials covering various aspects of AI .
