There is no purpose to this project, and is an academic excursion to learn how to build cli applications in Go. Although if you are interested, contributions are most welcome.
I'll be adding here once I have some actual material, tests. Until then, use go build -o bin/goque to create a binary.
Available Commands:
add Add a message to a topic
read Read messages from a topic
remove Remove a topic
Usage:
./bin/goque add -t topic -m msg
./bin/goque read -t topic -n number
./bin/goque remove -t topic
Use ./bin/goque add --help for more details on add, and so on.
Currently, to use this, you'll need a linux system, and the following file structure present on your filesystem:
$HOME/.goque/
└── data/data is an empty directory. For each topic, a subdirectory pertaining to that topic is created inside data. Each topic directory contains two files, index and log. log file is where incoming messages are appended, and index file takes care of sequential reads.
I have tried to follow qrcp's code template, but in a simplified manner, without subpackages and such. I have been a big fan of qrcp over time.
At the end, it uses cobra to manage the cli.
To connect with the filesystem, I am using os package.
Feel free to point out the flaws, or something that you feel isn't idiomatic to Go.
- Make this system concurrency-safe
- A trash-compactor implementation for maintenance, which removes all the messages that are already read
- A clean up to provide configured for data directory and easy-install scripts
