Todo app in Go and AngularJS

Intention

To demonstrate how to develop Go web application along with Angularjs framework. In this demo, I extract Angularjs code from TodoMVC, implement back-end code in Go.

How to run this app

• Run go get github.com/pilu/fresh to install the fresh commandline utility, with fresh, you don’t need to shutdown and restart the Go app under development. It watches all of files in your project directory, restart Go app whenever you save source file, LIFE SAVER.
• Run go get to install required libraries, you can find all of them in below Resource section.
• Run fresh, then happy coding with your favorite editor.
• To make your life much happier as a front-end developer, you can install LiveReload, it costs you $9.99

Anything else missed

• Back-end code tests is missing, which is TOP priority for now!!
• Currently there is a workaround for the feature Clear Completed Todos, the todo item will to be deleted once at a time, it should be a performance hit for large dataset.
• Security hole. The parameters from front-end is passed to data CRUD without further processing. It’s ok for a demo project, but DO NOT DO THIS in production code.
• Dependency management. I haven’t find a good dependency management library/utility for now, Glide is a good option, I’m trying it.
• Currently this project is implemented with a bunch of Go web libraries, we can implemente it again with Go web frameworks, such as Martini or Beego, you could find a better one for your requirement.
• JS minification and static files caching, etc., although it's not imported for a demo project.
