generator-go v0.1.5

A non-opinionated golang code generator

A Yeoman generator for the golang programming language.

What is golang ?

See the Golang documentation

Why a generator ?

The Golang team defined guidelines to organize code and structure an application.

The generator builds a standard directory hierarchy complying with those guidelines.

Usage

1. Install yeoman

$ npm install -g yo

2. Install the generator

$ npm install generator-go

3. Run the generator

$ yo go

That's all folks !

This will generate a minimalist directory hierarchy, a makefile and a .gitignore in your $GOPATH folder.

Once built, you can run your application

$ make run

Compile sources and build binary

$ make install

Run all tests

$ make test

And clean up the binary

$ make clean
