Tool: Go SDK Generator

This tool generates a Go SDK using the information available in the Data API.

Essentially this tool retrieves a list of Resource Manager Services from the Data API, determines which should be generated - and then iterates over each (Generation) Stage to output the files as needed - into a folder structure by Service and then API version:

Each (Generation) Stage has an associated Templater, meaning that each Stage can be unit tested as required.

Getting Started

Ensure the Data API is launched and then:

$ make tools
$ make run

By default, the generated Go SDK will be output to your desktop (~/Desktop/generated-sdk-dev), although this can be overwritten using the command-line flags as shown below.

Options

The generator-go-sdk tool supports a number of command-line arguments:

• --data-api=http://some-uri:2022 - specifies the URI for the Data API (defaults to http://localhost:5000).
• --output-dir=/some/custom/path - specifies the directory where the Go SDK should be generated (defaults to ~/Desktop/generated-sdk-dev).
• --services=Service1,Service2 - generates the Go SDK for only the specified Services for expediency - the Service Names coming from the name field within the Configuration File that defines which Service should be imported.

The make task used above doesn't currently support these arguments, but you can specify these by calling the generator-go-sdk tool on the command line, for example:

$ go build . && ./generator-go-sdk [source-data-type] generate -output-dir=/some/path/to/github.com/hashicorp/go-azure-sdk -services=ContainerService
