# ZQDGR
ZQDGR is Zoe's Quick and Dirty Golang Runner. This is a simple tool that lets you run a go project in a similar way to how you would use npm. ZQDGR lets you watch files and rebuild your project as you make changes. ZQDGR also includes an optional websocket server that will notify listeners that a rebuild has occurred, this is very useful for live reloading when doing web development with Go.
## Install
```bash
go install github.com/juls0730/zqdgr@latest
```
## Usage
Full usage
```Bash
zqdgr [options] <command>
```
The list of commands is
- `init`
generates a zqdgr.config.json file in the current directory
- `new [project name] [github repo]`
Creates a new golang project with zqdgr and can optionally run scripts from a github repo
- `watch <script>`
runs the script in "watch mode", when files that follow the pattern in zqdgr.config.json change, the script restarts
- `<script>`
runs the script
ZQDGR has the following list of options
- `-no-ws`
disables the web socket server running at 2067
Example usage:
```bash
zqdgr init
zqdgr watch dev
```
### ZQDGR websocket
ZQDGR comes with a websocket to notify listeners that the application has updates, the websocket is accessible at `127.0.0.1:2067/ws`. An example dev script to listen for rebuilds might look like this
```Javascript
let host = window.location.hostname;
const socket = new WebSocket('ws://' + host + ':2067/ws');
socket.addEventListener('message', (event) => {
if (event.data === 'refresh') {
async function testPage() {
try {
let res = await fetch(window.location.href)
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
setTimeout(testPage, 300);
return;
}
window.location.reload();
}
testPage();
}
});
```
## ZQDGR `new` scripts
With ZQDGR, you can easily initialize a new project with `zqdgr new` and optionally, you can specify a git repo to use as the initializer script. An example script is available at [github.com/juls0730/zqdgr-script-example](https://github.com/juls0730/zqdgr-script-example).
Every initialize script is expected to follow a few rules:
- The project must be a zqdgr project
- The `build` script must exist and must export a binary named `main`
ZQDGR passes your init script the directory that is being initialized as the first and only argument and runs the script in the target directory. When your binary is executed, there is a git repository and the project is in the following state:
- go.mod
- main.go
- zqdgr.config.json
