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.
