Common

Introduction

This is a repo that holds multiple different go modules that are shared between service. This is useful to reduce code duplication across multiple services.

A lot of common modules use a configuration of some kind, this way the modules can be shared and each service that requires a small change can still share it.

Changes

If you want to make a change in a specific go module, these are the steps.

1. Make changes in the go module.
2. Push the changes to the main branch.
3. Get the latest config hash, for example

   git log
   commit d9a3cbff66fe217a2964e77eb154b05c89f68a55 (HEAD, origin/main)
    Author: Tom Bowyer <tom4310@gmail.com>
    Date:   Sun Oct 24 15:08:25 2021 +1000
    Fix null
   

   That would be d9a3cbff66fe217a2964e77eb154b05c89f68a55
4. Go back into the repo you wanted the change for. e.g. uacl/chatter
5. Install the latest change

   go get github.com/EmotivesProject/common/logger@d9a3cbff66fe217a2964e77eb154b05c89f68a55
   

Creating a new common module

If you wanted to create a brand new common module, these are the steps

1. Create a folder
2. Initialize the go module with the github name

   go mod init github.com/EmotivesProject/common/new
   

3. Make changes and push to the main branch
4. Optional. Install the new module in the relevant service
