create-glstack

Scaffold a fullstack application with a Go backend, SvelteKit frontend, and PostgreSQL database, connected via Connect RPC.

Work in progress -- additional frontend frameworks and features are planned for future releases.

Usage

bun create glstack

What you get

A monorepo with the following structure:

• services/api -- Go backend using Cobra for CLI, pgx for Postgres, and Connect RPC for the API layer
• apps/web -- SvelteKit frontend with shadcn-svelte, TailwindCSS, TanStack Query, and Paraglide for i18n
• packages/proto -- Protobuf service definitions with Buf for codegen (Go + TypeScript)
• packages/rpc -- Generated TypeScript Connect RPC client shared across frontend apps

Dev environment

The template includes a devenv.nix configuration that sets up:

• Go, TypeScript, Bun
• PostgreSQL with an auto-provisioned database
• File watchers for protobuf, SQL, and frontend hot reload
• Air for Go live reload
• sqlc for type-safe SQL
• dbmate for database migrations

Starter example

The generated project includes a working Todo CRUD example wired end-to-end: protobuf schema, Go service implementation, SQL queries, and a SvelteKit UI.
