generator-golang-boilerplate

Yeoman generator for Golang projects - quick setup of a project with a build script and Docker configuration

About

The Golang boilerplate generator enables you to bootstrap a Golang project. The default generator produces a structure to support a single binary application.

Installation

# Make sure both is installed globally
npm install -g yo
npm install -g generator-golang-boilerplate

Setting up Projects

The Yeoman generator needs two arguments supplied on the command line: your website domain; and your app name.

# Create a new directory, and `cd` into it:
mkdir my-new-project && cd my-new-project

# Run the generator
yo golang-boilerplate mysite.org testapp

Working on Your New Project

Once you've initialised your application, there are a few make tasks available:

• Run make install-build-deps install-dev-tools to install the development tools and initial dependencies (required)
• You can build the application to run locally using make install
• With a Docker machine created and the appropriate environment variables set, you can build and run the application inside a container using make deploy-local
