Here we will learn how to create a Taskfile in GoLang. The benefit of Taskfile is that you don't have to write a long command to run your Go lang app.
To create a Taskfile tool make sure you have installed Taskfile for your OS.
To install the the tool you run the command
brew install go-task/tap/go-taskThen you can do your Taskfile
version: '3'
tasks:
build:
cmds:
- go build -o app cmd/service/main.go
test:
cmds:
- go test -v ./...
lints:
cmds:
- golangci-lint run
run:
cmds:
- docker-compose up --build
You see from the file, right after every file we put cmds. It contains the actual commands. In my case, my main.go file is in the cmd/service folder.
Now I can simply run task run and it will build my project.
