feedlib is an open source project — it's one among many other shared libraries that make up the wider ecosystem of software made and open sourced by Savannah Informatics Limited.
A shared library for Be.Well Golang services that is responsible for rendering user-feed and engagement.
feedlib is compatible with modern Go releases in module mode, with Go installed:
go get -u github.com/savannahghi/feedlib
will resolve and add the package to the current development module, along with its dependencies.
Alternatively the same can be achieved if you use import in a package:
import "github.com/savannahghi/feedlib"
and run go get
without parameters.
The package name is feedlib
The default branch library is main
We try to follow semantic versioning ( https://semver.org/ ). For that reason, every major, minor and point release should be tagged.
git tag -m "v0.0.1" "v0.0.1"
git push --tags
Continuous integration tests must pass on Travis CI. Our coverage threshold is 90% i.e you must keep coverage above 90%.
In order to run tests, you need to have an env.sh
file similar to this one:
# Application settings
export SCHEMA_HOST=<optional>
This file must not be committed to version control.
It is important to export the environment variables. If they are not exported,
they will not be visible to child processes e.g go test ./...
.
These environment variables should also be set up on Travis CI environment variable section.
Contributions are of course always welcome. The calling pattern is pretty well established, so adding new methods is relatively
straightforward. See CONTRIBUTING.md
for details.
In general, feedlib follows semver as closely as we can for tagging releases of the package. For self-contained libraries, the application of semantic versioning is relatively straightforward and generally understood. We've adopted the following versioning policy:
- We increment the major version with any incompatible change to non-preview functionality, including changes to the exported Go API surface or behavior of the API.
- We increment the minor version with any backwards-compatible changes to functionality, as well as any changes to preview functionality in the GitHub API. GitHub makes no guarantee about the stability of preview functionality, so neither do we consider it a stable part of the go-github API.
- We increment the patch version with any backwards-compatible bug fixes.
