Realize

Realize is the Go tool that is focused to speed up and improve developers workflow.

Automate the most recurring operations needed for development, define what you need only one time, integrate additional tools of third party, define custom cli commands and reload projects at each file change without stop to write code.

Various operations can be programmed for each project, which can be executed at startup, at stop, and at each file change.

Get started

Run this to get and install:

$ go get github.com/tockins/realize

Commands available

• Run

  From project/projects root execute:

  $ realize start
  

  It will create a realize.yaml file if it doesn't exist already, add the working directory as project and run your workflow.

  "Start" command supports the following custom parameters:

  --name="name"               -> Run by name on existing configuration
  --path="realize/server"     -> Custom Path, if not specified takes the working directory name    
  --generate                  -> Enable go generate
  --fmt                       -> Enable go fmt
  --test                      -> Enable go test
  --vet                       -> Enable go vet
  --install                   -> Enable go install
  --build                     -> Enable go build   
  --run                       -> Enable go run
  --server                    -> Enable the web server
  --no-config                 -> Ignore an existing config / skip the creation of a new one
  

  Examples:

  $ realize start
  $ realize start --path="mypath"
  $ realize start --name="realize" --build
  $ realize start --path="realize" --run --no-config
  $ realize start --install --test --fmt --no-config
  $ realize start --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 params

  Start command can be used with a project from its working directory without make a config file (--no-config).

  $ realize start --path="/print/printer" --run yourParams --yourFlags // right
  $ realize start yourParams --yourFlags --path="/print/printer" --run // wrong
  

• Add

  Add a project to an existing config file or create a new one.

  "Add" supports the same parameters of "Start" command.

  $ realize add
  

• Init

  Like add, but with this command you can create a configuration step by step and customize each option.

  Init is the only command that supports a complete customization of all supported options

  $ realize init
  

• Remove

  Remove a project by its name

  $ realize remove --name="myname"
  

• Color reference

  • Blue: outputs of the project
  • Red: errors
  • Magenta: times or changed files
  • Green: successfully completed action
