This is an extremely handy starter project. Thanks a lot.

I am filing this as an enhancement (not a bug). It will be nice if you can integrate create-react-app for the front-end and goose (or some such) database migration tool, on the api side.

Creating tables and databases should be done in a reliable, verifiable way to ensure that two instances of a API service may not run the same sql commands, etc.

build success in docker environment, but build failed outside docker.
the following is the steps build api outside docker:

golang version is 1.9.2;

I guess this error is related with vendor fearture, but I don't know how to fix.

can you help me for this issue?

I'm having trouble getting the hot reload to work with the Go API. I ran the steps below:
https://github.com/McMenemy/GoDoRP#getting-started
After running docker-compose up I went to http://localhost:5000/ and saw the This is the RESTful api message. If I change that in the api.go file to anything else I don't see the change unless I rebuild the docker image (docker-compose build).
I can confirm from the output the api server is running in dev mode:

Am I doing something wrong?

I don't know how you (or I) did this but containers won't connect to the internet.

After cloning project and doing

docker-compose up --build

all I get is this for frontend:

npm ERR! errno ENOTFOUND

and this for api:
