This example was inspired by golang-html5-sse-example and TodoMVC. It uses knockout.js for the UI and mongodb for storage. It's a little different than the other TodoMVC examples in that it adds SSE capabilities to synchronize the todo list.

Install golang

Install git and bazaar

sudo apt-get install git bzr

Install mongodb

Install mgo, the mongodb driver for golang

mkdir -p ~/Go/vendor
export GOPATH=~/Go/vendor
go get gopkg.in/mgo.v2

Clone this repository to your local filesystem

git clone https://github.com/rwynn/golang-sse-todo.git

Start the mongo server if it's not already running

sudo mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf

Run the Go server (assumes that $GOPATH already includes ~/Go/vendor to find mgo)

cd /path/to/golang-sse-todo
export GOPATH=$GOPATH:`pwd`
go run todo.go

Open 2 instances of your browser side by side (your browser should support html5 EventSource). Navigate each browser to http://localhost:9080/static/

Start typing todo items in one of the browser instances. The todo should be listed and dynamically updated in both browser instances. Pressing return/enter will allow you to start entering a new todo.

Stop the Go server by pressing Control-c in the terminal.
