# GoWithReact
**GoWithReact** is a foundational full-stack project combining a **Go** backend with a **React** frontend. It demonstrates token-based authentication and efficient routing, making it a great starting point for building scalable web applications.
---
## Features
- **Backend (Go)**:
- REST API with JWT authentication using `golang-jwt/jwt/v4`
- MongoDB integration with `go.mongodb.org/mongo-driver`
- Configurable environment variables using `joho/godotenv`
- **Frontend (React)**:
- Intuitive user interface with React Router
- Interaction with secure backend APIs
---
## Technologies Used
- **Backend**: Go, Gin framework, MongoDB, JWT
- **Frontend**: React, React Router
- **Authentication**: JSON Web Tokens (JWT)
---
## Prerequisites
- Go (v1.19+)
- Node.js (v14+)
- npm or yarn
---
## Setup
### Backend (Go)
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/biswajitpanday/GoWithReact.git
cd GoWithReact/backend
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
go mod tidy
```
3. Create a `.env` file with the necessary configurations (example below):
```env
MONGO_URI=mongodb://localhost:27017
JWT_SECRET=your_secret_key
```
4. Run the server:
```bash
go run main.go
```
The server will start on [http://localhost:3200](http://localhost:3200).
### Frontend (React)
1. Navigate to the frontend directory:
```bash
cd ../frontend
```
2. Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Start the React app:
```bash
npm start
```
Access the application at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
