GopherJS fundamentals

GopherJS is a set of tools, data types, and Go packages that allows you to compile Go code to JavaScript. Compiling the code of one programming language to another is also known as transpiling. GopherJS is very useful for Go developers who are not very proficient in JavaScript, because it allows you to write code in Go that can be integrated with JavaScript modules. This means that you can write code in Go that empowers the frontend of your application, or can be integrated with Node.js modules, offering you the flexibility of JavaScript combined with the power of Go.

GopherJS is a very a powerful piece of software that is used in numerous applications. However, in order to effectively utilize GopherJS, you need to understand its building blocks. The first step is to retrieve the package using the go get command:

go get -u github.com/gopherjs/gopherjs
