how to build

building go related packages

welp, first you need to have Go Installed :) then you need to use go to download the following go modules:

• github.com/go-ini/ini
• github.com/urfave/negroni
• github.com/phyber/negroni-gzip/gzip
• github.com/jingweno/negroni-gorelic
• github.com/unrolled/secure
• github.com/gorilla/mux

3 ways to install packages:

1. just execute go get <MODULE_NAME> on each package in the list.
2. execute go get ./... on the root of the project
3. I included glpm.json file (https://github.com/kfirufk/glpm), so if you want to use this package manager, install it with go get -u github.com/kfirufk/glpm, and then type glpm -install in the root directory of your project.

building client (javascript) related packages

first you need to have the following nodejs global packages installed:

• typescript
• typings
• webpack

if you don't, please download and install nodejs, after that execute npm install -g <PACKAGES_NAMES_DIVIDED_BY_SPACES>. that will install the packges globally.

now all you need is to execute npm install in the project's root directory to install the required packages.

webpack

since we are using webpack, we need to use the globally installed webpack package to build our client source files. simply execute npm run build in the project's root directory.

configuration

###- config.ini

please copy config/config.ini.defaults to config/config.ini, open it with your favorite text editor, and change it according to your configuration.

in general you have 3 categories in config.ini

• Server - which includes the host name of the server and a flag that indicates if it's in a production environment or not.
• SslCert - which contains the pem and key files locations to property start an HTTPS Server.
• NewRelic - which includes the license key of your newrelic account and the application name that will appear on the dashboard
• WebServer - which includes the https port to open, and finally the readn write timeouts for https requests.
• Auth0 - account domain (to configure secure package to allow login requests) ###- app.config.js

please copy config/app.config.js.defaults to config/app.config.js, open it with your favorite text editor, and change it according to your configuration.

for now there is only one category to modify

• auth0 - which includes the api key and domain name of your auth0 account.
• webServer - which includes the APP_BASE_HREF value to be set.

compile the go project

execute from the project's root directory the following command: go build src/main/WebServer.go

Things to notice

##- Go Package github.com/unrolled/secure

I've installed and configured for you this awesome security package for your web server. you should check and understand the ContentSecurityPolicy of the secureMiddleware variable in the main go file (at src/main/WebServer.go). I configured the content security policies to allow all the wonderful features that this project has, but if you don't quite understand this subject, I would strongly recommend to checkout http://content-security-policy.com/ in order for you to quickly resolve future security issue that are detected by your own code or 3rd party libraries.

##- Angular Routes Configuration

auth0

after a succesfull login, the redirection for some reason works but provides errors in the javascript console about not finding a valid route. in order to work-around this problem, I created a wildcard route so every invalid route will be routed back to the welcome component. the routes are configured at client/ts/app/routers.ts.

##- SSL Certificates

I use GoDaddy SSL Certificate, that comes with a primary crt file, the server key file, and the bundle file sf_bundle-g2-g1.

the docs says the following: If the certificate is signed by a certificate authority, the certFile should be the concatenation of the server's certificate, any intermediates, and the CA's certificate.

so in my case all i needed to do is to append the bundle file to the main crt file.

I checked the grade of the SSL Certificate using https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ and I got grade A.

I did leave the directive OtherCertificates under the SslCert category of config.ini, just in case for some reason it needed to be loaded separately.

Tested

this package was tested on a macbook pro with macOS Sierra, using nodejs 6.7.0 (installed with nvm) and go 1.7.1 installed with homebrew.

if for some reason you encounter problems with different versions of node or go, please let me know.
