Go automatic assembly package tools: gossam

Goassem reference the design idea of maven assembly build plug-ins .By executing goassem package command, the Go source codes will be compiled into different platforms executable files. At the same time, documentation, configuration, external script files will be archived into one or more compressed package orderly .It is very convenient to release and deploy Go applications.

Feature

1. build a variety of platforms Go executable file in batches.
2. archive executable file and external resource file (scripts, configuration, documentation, etc.) into package files. Furthermore, developer can define the structure and version of package as their want.

Install

installation is very simple

go get -u github.com/liujiarik/goassem

A brief description

goassem -help

Initial

Goassem use assembly. json file to save packaging process.Therefore, we need to create this file in project root path.

goassem init

After executing, the assembly. json template file will be created. The developer can edit this file to describe packaging process.

The instructions of assembly.json file

It is crucial to understand assembly.json for user. The file define the process of build and packaging。
The following is a simple assembly.json file :

[
  {
    "name": "demo",
    "version": "1.0.1",
    "format": "zip",
    "main": "main",
    "binDir": "bin",
    "buildArgs": [],
    "fileSets": [
      {
        "directory": "conf",
        "outputDirectory": "conf",
        "includes": [
          "*"
        ]
      },
      {
        "directory": "sh",
        "outputDirectory": "/",
        "includes": [
          "*.sh"
        ]
      },
      {
        "directory": "./",
        "outputDirectory": "/",
        "includes": [
          "README"
        ]
      }
    ],
    "platforms": [
      {
        "arch": "amd64",
        "os": "linux"
      },
      {
        "arch": "amd64",
        "os": "darwin"
      }
    ]
  }
]

Parameter description：

name ：package name

version ：package version

format ：package Archive format （Currently only support zip ）

main ：Main Go file name without the suffix

binDir ：bin dir.

buildArgs ：go buildArgs.It is a string array

fileSets : A set of file copy command

• directory ：source directory .the path is relative to project root path. If directory is the project root directory, please use ". /"
• outputDirectory: target directory. The path is relative to package directory
• includes: A set of file which are need to copy ,and It is a string array. includes parameter support ‘*’ wildcard

platforms : Cross-compilation support

• arch ：target arch
• os : target os

Package

goassem package

Goassem read assembly. json file and package Go project. All outputs will be located at _out folder

the example above will package two archive files :

1. demo-1.0.1-linux-amd64.zip
2. demo-1.0.1-darwin-amd64.zip

Clear Output

goassem clear

remove all file and dir in _out folder
