##GenKit
This is a proof of concept go generator that generates everything but the main package
to create a service from one of your types.
It's slightly opinionated, in that I needed a service that publishes to statsd, so I used the statsd metrics package. We also standardized on Logrus at $work so this uses logrus instead of kit/log. Pull requests to make this optional/switchable are welcome.
Given this type:
type User struct {
ID string
Name string
}
to create a go-kit HTTP/JSON service, you simply need to annotate the type with a comment like this:
// @service
type User struct {
ID string
Name string
}
and add //go:generate genkit $GOFILE as the first line of the file containing the type.
GenKit will generate files based on the example services in GoKit's repository. All that's missing is a main.go in a parent directory.
Simplified example main :
package main
import (
... some packages ...
github.com/you/yourapp/user
)
func main() {
ctx := context.Background()
http.Handle("/users/", http.StripPrefix("/users", user.GetMux(ctx)))
listen := fmt.Sprintf(":%d", port)
err:= http.ListenAndServe(listen, nil)
...
}
