Hiboot

About

Hiboot is a cloud native web and cli application framework written in Go.

Hiboot is not trying to reinvent everything, it integrates popular libraries but make it simpler, easier to use.

With auto configuration, you can integrate any other libraries easily with dependency injection support.

Overview

• Web MVC (Model-View-Controller)
• Auto Configuration, pre-create instance with properties configs for dependency injection
• Dependency injection with struct tag name `inject:""` or Init method
• Some useful utils, include enhanced reflection, struct copier, config file replacer, etc.

Getting started

This section will show you how to create and run a simplest hiboot application. Let’s get started!

Getting started with Hiboot web application

Get the source code

go get -u github.com/hidevopsio/hiboot

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/hidevopsio/hiboot/examples/web/helloworld/

Sample code

Below is the simplest web application in Go.

// Line 1: main package
package main

// Line 2: import web starter from hiboot
import "github.com/hidevopsio/hiboot/pkg/starter/web"

// Line 3-5: RESTful Controller, derived from web.Controller. The context mapping of this controller is '/' by default
type Controller struct {
	web.Controller
}

// Line 6-8: Get method, the context mapping of this method is '/' by default
// the Method name Get means that the http request method is GET
func (c *Controller) Get() string {
	// response data
	return "Hello world"
}

// Line 9-11: main function
func main() {
	// create new web application and run it
	web.NewApplication(&Controller{}).Run()
}

Run web application

dep ensure

go run main.go

Testing the API by curl

curl http://localhost:8080/

Hello, world

Getting started with Hiboot cli application

Writing Hiboot cli application is as simple as web application, you can take the advantage of dependency injection introduced by Hiboot.

e.g. flag tag dependency injection

// declare main package
package main

// import cli starter and fmt
import "github.com/hidevopsio/hiboot/pkg/starter/cli"
import "fmt"

// define the command
type HelloCommand struct {
	// embedding cli.BaseCommand in each command
	cli.BaseCommand
	// inject (bind) flag to field 'To', so that it can be used on Run method, please note that the data type must be pointer
	To *string `flag:"name=to,shorthand=t,value=world,usage=e.g. --to=world or -t world"`
}

// Init constructor
func (c *HelloCommand) Init() {
	c.Use = "hello"
	c.Short = "hello command"
	c.Long = "run hello command for getting started"
}

// Run run the command
func (c *HelloCommand) Run(args []string) error {
	fmt.Printf("Hello, %v\n", *c.To)
	return nil
}

// main function
func main() {
	// create new cli application and run it
	cli.NewApplication(new(HelloCommand)).Run()
}

Run cli application

dep ensure

go run main.go

Hello, world

Build the cli application and run

go build

Let's get help

./hello --help

run hello command for getting started

Usage:
  hello [flags]

Flags:
  -h, --help        help for hello
  -t, --to string   e.g. --to=world or -t world (default "world")

Greeting to Hiboot

./hello --to Hiboot

Hello, Hiboot
