Introducing LWDK – A Lightweight Fullstack Framework with Go + Vue 3
Tulio Rodrigues de Freitas Nascimento
Hello everyone!
After more than 10 years working with web development, I decided to build a custom stack that aligns with my day-to-day workflow and preferences.
The result is LWDK – Light-Weight Development Kit: a fullstack setup combining the power of Go on the backend with the simplicity of Vue 3 + Vite + Pug on the frontend.
🚀 Tech Stack Overview
-
Backend: Go (with chi router)
-
Frontend: Vue 3 + Vite + Pug
-
CLI: Custom Go CLI for scaffolding, database sync, compilation, and more
The main goal is to make fullstack development with Go more streamlined and productive for solo developers or small teams — similar to what Laravel provides in the PHP world.
⚙️ Basic Commands
-
🆕 create – Create a new LWDK project
-
❓ help – Show the help menu
-
📄 version – Show current LWDK version
🔧 Project Automations (inside project folder)
-
▶️ run – Start development server with hot reload for both frontend and backend
-
🖥️ lap – Open the admin panel (Coming soon)
-
🛠️ compile – Compile the fullstack app for production
🗄️ Database Commands
🔄 db:sync -> Sync DB with the configuration from settings
🔍 db:query -> Run SQL query (Coming soon)
⚙️ db:exec -> Execute SQL command (Coming soon)
🗃️ db:table -> Table-related helpers (Coming soon)
🛣️ Routes & Models Generator (Go)
➕ make:route -> Create a new route
✏️ rename:route -> Rename an existing route
❌ delete:route -> Delete an existing route
➕ make:model -> Create a new model
✏️ rename:model -> Rename an existing model
❌ delete:model -> Delete an existing model
🌍 Internationalization & Launch Plans
I'm currently working on automatic CLI translation, based on the system's language settings.
The goal is to make LWDK accessible to developers worldwide from the very beginning.
🔜 Public release (including website and download page) is planned for the next few weeks.
Stay tuned!
Any feedback, questions, or thoughts from fellow Gophers are more than welcome — especially from those who have explored similar fullstack workflows in Go.
Thanks in advance for your time and support!
Best regards,
