Realize

A Go build system with file watchers, output streams and live reload. Run, build and watch file changes with custom paths

Features

• Highly customizable
• Build, Install, Test, Fmt, Generate and Run at the same time
• Live reload on file changes (re-build, re-install...)
• Watch custom paths and specific file extensions
• Support for multiple projects
• Output streams and error logs (Watch them in console or save them on a file)
• Web Panel (Watch all projects, edit the config settings, download each type of log)

Installation and usage

• Run this to get/install:

  $ go get github.com/tockins/realize
  

• From project/projects root execute:

  $ realize add
  

  It will create a realize.yaml file if it doesn't exist already and adds the working directory as project.

  Otherwise if a config file already exists it adds the working project to the existing config file.

  The Add command supports the following custom parameters:

  --name="Project Name"   -> Name, if not specified takes the working directory name
  --path="server"         -> Custom Path, if not specified takes the working directory name    
  --build                 -> Enables the build   
  --test                  -> Enables the tests  
  --no-bin                -> Disables the installation
  --no-run                -> Disables the run
  --no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
  --no-server             -> Disables the web panel (port :5000)
  --open                  -> Open the web panel in a new browser window
  

  Examples:

  $ realize add
  
  $ realize add --path="mypath"
  
  $ realize add --name="My Project" --build
  
  $ realize add --name="My Project" --path="/projects/package" --build
  
  $ realize add --name="My Project" --path="projects/package" --build --no-run
  
  $ realize add --path="/Users/alessio/go/src/github.com/tockins/realize-examples/coin/"
  

  If you want, you can specify additional arguments for your project.

  The additional arguments must go after the options of "Realize"

  $ realize add --path="/print/printer" --no-run yourParams --yourFlags // correct
  
  $ realize add yourParams --yourFlags --path="/print/printer" --no-run // wrong
  

• Remove a project by its name

  $ realize remove --name="Project Name"
  

• Lists all projects

  $ realize list
  

• Build, Run and watch file changes. Realize will re-build and re-run your projects on each change.

  $ realize run
  

  Run can also launch a project from its working directory with or without make a config file (--no-config option). It supports the following custom parameters:

  --path="server"         -> Custom Path, if not specified takes the working directory name 
  --build                 -> Enables the build   
  --test                  -> Enables the tests   
  --config                -> Take the defined settings if exist a config file  
  --no-bin                -> Disables the installation
  --no-run                -> Disables the run
  --no-fmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
  --no-server             -> Disables the web panel (port :5000)
  --no-config             -> Doesn't create any configuration files
  --open                  -> Open the web panel in a new browser window 
  

  And additional arguments as the "add" command.

  $ realize run --no-run yourParams --yourFlags // correct
  
  $ realize run yourParams --yourFlags --no-run // wrong
  
  $ realize run --path="/Users/alessio/go/src/github.com/tockins/realize-examples/coin/"
