go-chatbot-lab

Development only. I'm trying to learnsome golang! First project, building a chatbot!

Getting started

This project requires Go to be installed. On OS X with Homebrew you can just run brew install go.

Running it then should be as simple as:

$ make
$ ./bin/go-chatbot-lab

Testing

make test

• Editor not looking at vendor folder it is ln -s from other path VSCode

Basic Golang gotyas

You go code needs to exist in $GOPATH/src

Eg.

 |2.2.3|    dev7-behance-1484 in ~/dev/go_workspace/src/github.com/bossjones
○ → code go-chatbot-lab/

mockgen

#!/bin/bash -e

# source: https://github.com/rafrombrc/gomock/blob/master/update_mocks.sh

Server code borrowed from coolspeed/century project

It's just a simple chatbot i'm building to help teach me how golang works. Actual server code borrowed from coolspeed/century project! Will add more on top of that.

Feature

• High throughput
• High concurrency
• (Automatic) High scalability, especially on many-core computers. (Think of 64-core computers, as much as 4-core ones.)

Detailed Information

You can find an even simpler chat server on:

https://gist.github.com/drewolson/3950226

(In fact I started my scratch from that.)

Build and Run

1. First, you need to install golang, of course:

Download it from https://golang.org/dl/, or install go via your package management tool:

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install golang

For Mac OS X:

brew install go

2. Now, just build.

cd into the repo directory.

To build the server, execute:

make build

3. Run

3.1 Run the chat server:

./bin/go-chatbot-lab

3.2 Run the chat client:

Client: You can use telnet as the client:

telnet localhost 6666

type anything.
