Imgur

A golang package for consuming imgur albums.

One day I would like to expand to cover the entire imgur api.

golang

This project is built using golang, if you don't have it installed on your machine you can find the instructions here.

main.go

This project is consumed by other projects and isn't an application that is itself deployed, so there is a main.go file at the root of the project just to make golang happy. I'm sure there is a more elegant solution but for now this is the setup.

dependencies

Currently the imgur-go package relies on dep for it's dependency management. If you don't have dep installed on your machine just follow the instructions here.

To use dep we must first initialize the project by running the following command:

dep init

After the initialization, when we want to update our depdencies we just run the following command:

dep ensure

Currently there is alreay a makefile target for updating the project dependencies:

make dependencies

build

Since this a golang project if we wanted to build it we could just run the command:

go build

But to make it easier this project has a makefile target that handles any additional arguments:

make build

test

With being a golang project if we just wanted to execute the tests we could run the command:

go test ./...

But to make it easier this project has a makefile target that handles the additional arguments and creating a coverage profile:

make test

The coverage profile that is created via make test will also include an html webpage that can be used to view the exact lines of code that are covered and not covered.
