Realize

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

Features

• Build, Install, Test, Fmt and Run at the same time
• Live reload on file changes (re-build, re-install and re-run)
• Watch custom paths
• Watch specific file extensions
• Multiple projects support
• Output streams
• Execution times
• Highly customizable
• Fast run

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"        -> Base Path, if not specified takes the working directory name    
  --build                -> Enables the build   
  --nobin                -> Disables the installation
  --norun                -> Disables the run
  --nofmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
  

  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 --norun
  

• 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:

  --build                -> Enables the build   
  --nobin                -> Disables the installation
  --norun                -> Disables the run
  --nofmt                -> Disables the fmt (go fmt)
  --config               -> Take the defined settings if exist a config file
