https://www.go-sandbox.org/

Features

• Realtime execution using websocket
• LSP-backed language support
• Multiple sandboxes
• Share code snippet
• Rich snippet library
• Rich keybinding support
• Dark mode and more...

Motivation

Go Sandbox started as a personal project, with a clear goal: to fill the gap in the Go ecosystem for a modern, IDE-like online coding experience that can foster learning and spread the Go language.

Deployment

Frontend

Front-end is a React app powered by Vite, using Tailwind and Flowbite. It is recommended to use static hosting service like AWS S3 or Amplify.

cd client && npm install && npm run build

To let the client call the server, the environment variable below is required.

VITE_API_URL=your_backend_hostname

Backend

Backend is a Go server using Gin. Storage is S3-compatible, using localstack for local development. And real AWS S3 for production.

sh ./deploy.sh

Please refer to the .env.production.example file for the environment variables required for production.

Need to set up the environment variable below for production so that the server will not use the localstack but the real AWS S3.

GIN_MODE=release

Development

Tech-stack

• Frontend: React, Vite, Tailwind, Flowbite
• Backend: Go, Gin, Websocket, Golsp, Localstack

Structure

The root directory directly serves the Golang server code. The React app is in the client directory. The dev directory is for local development setups.

Client

cd client && npm install && npm run dev

or if you have installed once, then

make client

Server

Running everything in docker:

make server

Shortcut for logging each component:

make log-server # see logs of server
make log-gopls # see logs of gopls
make log-localstack # see logs of localstack

Test

Test codes are yet to be written. Leave below commands for the future.

make test-client
make test-server
