goirsdk

Go module for iRacing Telemetry API access

Sample usage

Start the iRacing simulator and wait until the simulation is up and running.

cd sample
go run sample.go

The sample connects to the iRacing telemetry data and prints out the iRacing session time every second.

See variables for an overview of available telemetry data

Initial Setup

This section is intended to help developers and contributors get a working copy of goirsdk on their end

Clone this repository

git clone https://github.com/mpapenbr/goirsdk
cd goirsdk

Option: Do you own setup

Install golangci-lint from the official website for your OS

Local Development

This section will guide you to setup a fully-functional local copy of goirsdk on your end and teach you how to use it! Make sure you have installed golangci-lint before following this section!

Note: This section relies on the usage of Makefile. If you can't (or don't) use Makefile, you can follow along by running the internal commands from goirsdk's Makefile (most of which are OS-independent)!

Installing dependencies

To install all dependencies associated with goirsdk, run the command

make install

Using Code Formatters

Code formatters format your code to match pre-decided conventions. To run automated code formatters, use the Makefile command

make codestyle

Using Code Linters

Linters are tools that analyze source code for possible errors. This includes typos, code formatting, syntax errors, calls to deprecated functions, potential security vulnerabilities, and more!

To run pre-configured linters, use the command

make lint

Additional Resources

Makefile help

Tap for a list of Makefile commands

Command	Description	Prerequisites
help	Generate help dialog listing all Makefile commands with description	NA

| install | Fetch project dependencies | NA | | codestyle | Run code-formatters | golangci-lint | | lint | Check codestyle and run linters | golangci-lint |

Optionally, to see a list of all Makefile commands, and a short description of what they do, you can simply run

make

Which is equivalent to;

make help

Both of which will list out all Makefile commands available, and a short description of what they do!

Releases

You can check out a list of previous releases on the Github Releases page.

Semantic versioning with Release Drafter

What is Semantic Versioning?

Semantic versioning is a versioning scheme aimed at making software management easier. Following semantic versioning, version identifiers are divided into three parts;

    <major>.<minor>.<patch>

MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes [breaking changes]
MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner [more features]
PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes [bug fixes and stuff]

For a more detailed description, head over to semver.org

Release Drafter automatically updates the release version as pull requests are merged.

Labels allowed;

• major: Affects the <major> version number for semantic versioning
• minor, enhancement, update, feature: Affects the <minor> version number for semantic versioning
• all other labels affect the <patch> version number

Whenever a pull request with one of these labels is merged to the master branch, the corresponding version number will be bumped by one digit!

List of Labels

Pull requests once merged, will be classified into categories by release-drafter based on pull request labels

This is managed by the release-drafter.yml config file.

Label	Title in Releases
security	🔒 Security
enhancement, feature, update	🚀 Updates
bug, bugfix, fix	🐛 Bug Fixes
documentation, docs	📝 Documentation
wip, in-progress, incomplete, partial, hotfix	🚧 Work in Progress
dependencies, dependency	📦 Dependencies
refactoring, refactor, tests, testing	🧪 Tests and Refactor
build, ci, pipeline	🤖 CI/CD and Pipelines

The labels bug, enhancement, and documentation are automatically created by Github for repositories. Dependabot will implicitly create the dependencies label with the first pull request raised by it.

The remaining labels can be created as needed!
