Getting started

Installation

To use gofh, you need Go 1.16 or later installed on your system. Install gofh using go get:

go get github.com/teilomillet/gofh

Hello World Example

Let's create a simple "Hello World" application with gofh:

1. Create a new directory for your project:

mkdir hello-gofh
cd hello-gofh

1. Initialize a new Go module:

go mod init hello-gofh

1. Create a file named main.go with the following content:

package main

import (
    "log"
    "github.com/teilomillet/gofh"
)

func main() {
    app := gofh.New()

    app.Get("/").Handle(func(c *gofh.Context) gofh.Element {
        return gofh.Div(
            gofh.H1("Welcome to gofh"),
            gofh.P("Hello, World!").
                HxGet("/greet").
                HxSwap("outerHTML"),
        )
    })

    app.Get("/greet").Handle(func(c *gofh.Context) gofh.Element {
        return gofh.P("Hello from gofh!")
    })

    log.Println("Server starting on http://localhost:8080")
    log.Fatal(app.Serve())
}

1. Run your application:

go run main.go

1. Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:8080. You should see the "Hello, World!" message. Clicking on it will change the message to "Hello from gofh!" without a page reload, demonstrating the HTMX integration.
