  • Watch custom paths
  • Watch specific file extensions
  • Multiple projects support
  • Output streams
  • Execution times

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.config.yaml file if it doesn't exist already and adds the working directory as the project.

    Otherwise if a config file already exists it adds another 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)
    

    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
    

    Fast run launches a project from its working directory without a config file

    $ realize fast
    

    The fast command 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)
    

    The "fast" command supports addittional arguments as the "add" command.

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