go live reload

This is minimal example of server side rendered website written in golang that has live auto-reload - meaning: whenever you change the go code or html template code, website will reload automatically in the web browser.

It works by using Server Sent Events and watchexec utility.

dependencies

Install locally:

go compiler
watchexec: utility for watching filesystem
just: make replacement

how to run

To build and run the website in watch mode execute in your terminal:

just serve

In web browser go to: http://localhost:8080

Then change the code and see website refreshing by itself.
