Go Dito

Go Dito is a repository of utilitary packages written in Go, designed to improve development experience of Dito's squads.

Internal structure

This repository is designed as a Monorepo. Each root's folder (except .github/) represents an individual and independent package.

Every package is automatically versioned using Semantic Release default rules. Every semantic commit pushed to master branch, that updates a package codebase, will generate a new release version for its package. If a commit does not touches the code base of a package, its version must not be increased. A single commit can increase version of multiple packages when it touches them all.

Also, this repository uses a new feature of Go 1.18 called Workspaces.

How to use a package

go get github.com/ditointernet/go-dito/<package-name>

How to contribute with new packages

Create a new folder on root:
- mkdir <package-name>
Initialize a new module within it:
- cd <package-name>
- go mod init github.com/ditointernet/go-dito/<package-name>;
Create a new package.json file with the following data:

{
    "name": "<package-name>",
    "private": true
}

Write down your package code;
Include the new module at workspace:
- cd ..
- go work use ./<package-name>;
Open a Pull Request to master or beta branch;
As soon as your Pull Request is merged, your package will be available to be used by the community;

Package Best Practices

High test coverage;
Include a well designed README.md file;
Include a examples folder, that illustrates how to use your package;

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of a semantic commit?

<type>(<scope>): <short summary>

Type must be one of the following:

build: Changes that affect the build system or external dependencies (example scopes: gulp, broccoli, npm)
ci: Changes to our CI configuration files and scripts (examples: CircleCi, SauceLabs)
docs: Documentation only changes
feat: A new feature
fix: A bug fix
perf: A code change that improves performance
refactor: A code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
test: Adding missing tests or correcting existing tests

Commits with a footer message containing the phrase BREAKING CHANGE: indicates a Major release.

You can read more about this here.

Notice that, if your changes increases the Major version of your package, you MUST update package's go.mod properly. For instance, if there is a BREAKING CHANGE to package foo, that increases its version to 2.0.0, you MUST update foo/go.mod with:

module github.com/ditointernet/go-dito/foo -> module github.com/ditointernet/go-dito/foo/v2

This need is required by Go design.
