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

![Preview](http://i.imgur.com/dJbNZjt.gif)

#### 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 (default port 5001)
    --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 
    --port                  -> Sets the web panel port 
    ```  
    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/"
    ```
