BeKind, Rewind

BeKind, Rewind is a draft project for a simple web frontend UI of an offline Movie Tracker app I plan to build in the near future. This project serves as a playground for exploring HTMX and Go.

Currently, the app has no backend, and movies are stored in-memory with non-persistent storage. The few movies displayed when you run the app are hardcoded. However, you can edit, delete, and add new movies to the list.

Features

• View a hardcoded list of movies.
• Edit and delete movies.
• Add new movies to the list.

Prerequisites

Before running the app, ensure that you have Go version 1.22 or higher installed on your system.

Installation and running the app

Install Go

First, install Go if you haven't already. You can download Go from the official website: https://golang.org/dl/.

Building from the source

Clone the Repository

Clone this repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/markort147/bekind.git

Build the App

Navigate to the directory where you cloned the repo, then run the following command:

go build ./cmd/bekindrewind/ -o bekindrewind

Run the app

Run the app:

./bekindrewind -config <path-to-your-config-yaml>

As a Go command

Install via Go

go install github.com/markort147/bekind/cmd/bekindrewind@latest

Run the app

Run the app:

~/go/bin/bekindrewind -config <path-to-your-config-yaml>

Access the Web App

Open your browser and go to http://localhost:[PORT] to view the app in action.

Development with Air

For a smoother development experience, I recommend using Air, which provides live reloading. The repository includes a .air.toml configuration file for easy integration with Air.

To use Air:

1. Install Air by following the instructions on the official Air GitHub page.
2. Run the app with Air:

air .

This will automatically reload the application whenever changes are made to the code, enhancing your development workflow.
