clone repo: https://github.com/ynwd/monorepo/tree/typescript

create services folder

mkdir -p internal/services

init golang app

go mod init github.com/ynwd/monorepo

downlod fastrex package

go get github.com/fastrodev/fastrex

this will generate go.mod file

module github.com/ynwd/monorepo

go 1.17

require github.com/fastrodev/fastrex v0.0.0-20211008073151-687f0b90ec18 // indirect

create golang app entry point

/* main.go */
package main

import (
    "github.com/fastrodev/fastrex"
)

func main() {
    app := fastrex.New()
    app.Template("web/modules/root/build/index.html")
    app.Static("web/modules/root/build")
    app.Get("/", func(req fastrex.Request, res fastrex.Response) {
        err := res.Render()
        if err != nil {
            panic(err)
        }
    })
    err := app.Listen(8080)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}
