GoKit CLI Build StatusGo Report CardCoverage Status

translate to: English | 简体中文

I fork the project from kit and plan to maintain it in the future. The kit tool is a great job, and deeply used in our team. Some features and bugs have been done and fixed, such as supporting go module,replacing some old dependencies and so on. I am very glad to receive recommend about it.

This project is a more advanced version of gk. The goal of the gokit cli is to be a tool that you can use while you develop your microservices with gokit.

While gk did help you create your basic folder structure it was not really able to be used further on in your project. This is what GoKit Cli is aiming to change.

Prerequisites

Go is a requirement to be able to test your services.gokit is needed.To utilise generation of gRPC service code through kit generate service <SERVICE_NAME> -t grpc you will need to install the grpc prequisites.

go install google.golang.org/protobuf/cmd/protoc-gen-go@latest
go install google.golang.org/grpc/cmd/protoc-gen-go-grpc@latest

Installation

Before you install please read prerequisites

# in the go1.17 or latest
go install github.com/GrantZheng/kit@latest

# go version =< go1.16 
go install github.com/GrantZheng/kit
# or
go get -u github.com/GrantZheng/kit

Usage

Create a new service

The kit tool use Go Module to manage dependencies by default, please make sure your go version >= 1.3, or GO111MODULE is set on. If you want to specify the module name, you should use the --module flag, otherwise, the module name in the go.mod file will be set as your project name.

kit new service --help
kit new service hello
kit n s hello # using aliases

or

kit new service hello --module github.com/{group name}/hello
kit n s hello -m github.com/{group name}/hello # using aliases

This will generate the initial folder structure, the go.mod file and the service interface

service-name/pkg/service/service.go

package service

// HelloService describes the service.
type HelloService interface {
	// Add your methods here
	// e.x: Foo(ctx context.Context,s string)(rs string, err error)
}

When you are generating the service and the client library, the module name in the go.mod file could be autodetected.

Generate the service

kit g s hello
kit g s hello --dmw # to create the default middleware
kit g s hello -t grpc # specify the transport (default is http)

This command will do these things:

  • Create the service boilerplate: hello/pkg/service/service.go
  • Create the service middleware: hello/pkg/service/middleware.go
  • Create the endpoint: hello/pkg/endpoint/endpoint.go and hello/pkg/endpoint/endpoint_gen.go
  • If using --dmw create the endpoint middleware: hello/pkg/endpoint/middleware.go
  • Create the transport files e.x http: service-name/pkg/http/handler.go
  • Create the service main file 💥
    hello/cmd/service/service.go
    hello/cmd/service/service_gen.go
    hello/cmd/main.go

Notice all the files that end with _gen will be regenerated when you add endpoints to your service and you rerun kit g s hello

You can run the service by running:

go run hello/cmd/main.go

Generate the client library

kit g c hello

This will generate the client library ✨ http/client/http/http.go that you can than use to call the service methods, you can use it like this:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	client "hello/client/http"
	"github.com/go-kit/kit/transport/http"
)

func main() {
	svc, err := client.New("http://localhost:8081", map[string][]http.ClientOption{})
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	r, err := svc.Foo(context.Background(), "hello")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("Error:", err)
		return
	}
	fmt.Println("Result:", r)
}

Generate new middleware

kit g m hi -s hello
kit g m hi -s hello -e # if you want to add endpoint middleware

The only thing left to do is add your middleware logic and wire the middleware with your service/endpoint.

Enable docker integration

kit g d

This will add the individual service docker files and one docker-compose.yml file that will allow you to start your services. To start your services just run

docker-compose up

After you run docker-compose up your services will start up and any change you make to your code will automatically rebuild and restart your service (only the service that is changed)
