How to use new CSS frameworks with Gowebly CLI?

The first thing you should do is verify that you are using Gowebly CLI version v1.9.0 or higher.

Next, start creating the configuration file:

gowebly init

The CLI will generate a .gowebly.yml file with the following config:

backend:
  module_name: project
  go_framework: default
  template_engine: default
  port: 7000
  timeout:
    read: 5
    write: 10

frontend:
  package_name: project
  css_framework: default
  runtime_environment: default
  htmx: latest
  hyperscript: latest

Now, just switch the css_framework option in the frontend block to bootstrap or bulma.

Now, start creating a project:

gowebly create

And Gowebly CLI create a new project with the selected CSS framework.

It works! 💥
