mbee

mbee

mbee is a tool for helping develop with martini app framework.

Requirements

• Go version >= 1.1.

Installation

Begin by installing mbee using go get command

go get github.com/betazk/mbee

Then you can add bee binary to PATH environment variable in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file:

export PATH=$PATH:<your_main_gopath>/bin/bee

If you already have mbee installed, updating mbee is simple:

go get -u github.com/betazk/mbee

Basic Commands

mbee now only provides three commands which can be helpful at development. The top level commands include:

new         create an application base on martini framework
run         run the app which can hot compile
version     show the mbee & go version

mbee version

The first command is the easiest: displaying which version of mbee and go is installed on your machine:

$ bee version
mbee   :0.1.0
Go    :go version go1.3 linux/amd64

mbee new

Creating a new martini web application is no big deal, too.

$ mbee new myapp

mbee run

To run the application we just created, navigate to the application folder and execute mbee run.

$ cd myapp
$ mbee run

Help

If you happend to forget the usage of a command, you can always find the usage information by mbee help .

For instance, to get more information about the run command:

$ mbee help run
usage: mbee run [appname] [watchall] [-main=*.go]

start the appname throw exec.Command

then start a inotify watch for current dir

when the file has changed mbee will auto go build and restart the app

    file changed
         |
  check if it's go file
         |
     yes     no
      |       |
 go build    do nothing
     |
 restart app

The idea and most of mbee are come from bee
