Recently, I've released 2 new Sparrow plugins to help build Golang code:

• go-build

Simple golang code builder

• go-format

Golang code formatter

They are simple yet useful, providing two essentials tools to build Golang code in terminal:

• Build code

• Format code

The rest of the post shows how to use the plugins

Installation

To install plugins we need to use Tomtit task runner with profiles - preset of Raku scenarios that grouped by topics:

#!bash cd /to/you/source/code tom --init # initialize Tomtit for the first time tom --profile go # install go profile scenarios 

Now once we've installed go profile, we have an access to go-build and go-format scenarios which are just a Raku wrappers to run mentioned plugins. Code is simple enough and editable to adjust your project specific needs

Go-build scenario:

#!bash tom --cat go-build 

#!raku my $path = [ "cmd/app/main.go", "cmd/cli/cli.go" ]; task-run "build", "go-build", %( :$path, ); 

Go-format scenario:

#!bash tom --cat go-format 

#!bash task-run "go format", "go-format"; 

Customization

In case of go-build scenario - adjust path array with files to build for your project specific:

#!bash export EDITOR=nano tom --edit go-build 

#!raku my $path = [ "cmd/app/app.go", "cmd/app2/app2.go", ]; # the rest of the code stays the same  

Run

To run plugins - use tom cli runner:

#!bash tom go-build 11:56:26 :: go build cmd/main.go 11:56:27 :: cmd/main.go 

#!bash tom go-format 11:57:18 :: cmd/main.go 

That is it.

Follow plugins documentation to get familiar with plugins parameters.
