Bee is a tool for helping develop with beego app framework.

bee

Bee is a command-line tool facilitating development of Beego-based application.

Requirements

• Go version >= 1.13

Installation

To install or update bee use the go install command:

go install github.com/beego/bee/v2@latest

Then you can add bee binary to PATH environment variable in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file:

export PATH=$PATH:<your_main_gopath>/bin

Installing and updating bee prior Go version 1.17

To install bee use the go get command:

go get github.com/beego/bee/v2

If you already have bee installed, updating bee is simple:

go get -u github.com/beego/bee/v2

Shortcuts

Because you'll likely type these generator commands over and over, it makes sense to create aliases:

# Generator Stuff
alias g:a="bee generate appcode"
alias g:m="bee generate model"
alias g:c="bee generate controller"
alias g:v="bee generate view"
alias g:mi="bee generate migration"

These can be stored , for example, in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc files.

Help

To print more information on the usage of a particular command, use bee help <command>.

For instance, to get more information about the run command:

$ bee help run
USAGE
  bee run [appname] [watchall] [-main=*.go] [-downdoc=true]  [-gendoc=true] [-vendor=true] [-e=folderToExclude]  [-tags=goBuildTags] [-runmode=BEEGO_RUNMODE]

OPTIONS
  -downdoc

Contributing

Bug reports, feature requests and pull requests are always welcome.

We work on two branches: master for stable, released code and develop, a development branch. It might be important to distinguish them when you are reading the commit history searching for a feature or a bugfix, or when you are unsure of where to base your work from when contributing.

Found a bug?

Please submit an issue on GitHub and we will follow up. Even better, we would appreciate a Pull Request with a fix for it!

• If the bug was found in a release, it is best to base your work on master and submit your PR against it.
• If the bug was found on develop (the development branch), base your work on develop and submit your PR against it.

Please follow the Pull Request Guidelines.

Want a feature?

Feel free to request a feature by submitting an issue on GitHub and open the discussion.

If you'd like to implement a new feature, please consider opening an issue first to talk about it. It may be that somebody is already working on it, or that there are particular issues that you should be aware of before implementing the change. If you are about to open a Pull Request, please make sure to follow the submissions guidelines.

Submission Guidelines

Submitting an issue

Before you submit an issue, search the archive, maybe you will find that a similar one already exists.

If you are submitting an issue for a bug, please include the following:

• An overview of the issue
• Your use case (why is this a bug for you?)
• The version of bee you are running (include the output of bee version)
• Steps to reproduce the issue
• Eventually, logs from your application.
• Ideally, a suggested fix

The more information you give us, the more able to help we will be!

Submitting a Pull Request

• First of all, make sure to base your work on the develop branch (the development branch):

  # a bugfix branch for develop would be prefixed by fix/
  # a bugfix branch for master would be prefixed by hotfix/
  $ git checkout -b feature/my-feature develop

• Please create commits containing related changes. For example, two different bugfixes should produce two separate commits. A feature should be made of commits splitted by logical chunks (no half-done changes). Use your best judgement as to how many commits your changes require.

• Write insightful and descriptive commit messages. It lets us and future contributors quickly understand your changes without having to read your changes. Please provide a summary in the first line (50-72 characters) and eventually, go to greater lengths in your message's body. A good example can be found in Angular commit message format.

• Please include the appropriate test cases for your patch.

• Make sure all tests pass before submitting your changes.

• Rebase your commits. It may be that new commits have been introduced on develop. Rebasing will update your branch with the most recent code and make your changes easier to review:

  $ git fetch
  $ git rebase origin/develop
  

• Push your changes:

  $ git push origin -u feature/my-feature
  

• Open a pull request against the develop branch.

• If we suggest changes:

  • Please make the required updates (after discussion if any)

  • Only create new commits if it makes sense. Generally, you will want to amend your latest commit or rebase your branch after the new changes:

    $ git rebase -i develop
    # choose which commits to edit and perform the updates
    

  • Re-run the tests

  • Force push to your branch:

    $ git push origin feature/my-feature -f
