Experimental and development tooling

This repository mimics a subset of golang.org/x/exp, namely:

  • /cmd - various development tooling and experiments

In particular tools like go-fsck, schema-gen are usable for code analysis and linting with an extended godoc ruleset applying to fields. This is used to lint our data model in several places. The summary tool summarizes various things and also has some adoption.

Aim of the repository

The aim of the repository is to provide a space for the development of tooling that aids common CI and data flows at Tyk. Common tools that fall in this area are:

  • Code generation tooling,
  • Code inspection / analysis to surface schema,
  • Converters between schema formats,
  • Generates documentation from schema,
  • Static code analysis,
  • Go Reflection and AST tooling,
  • Refactoring tooling,
  • Large scale change tooling,
  • Toy example projects,
  • Full scale test suites,
  • Linters, etc...

Individual projects must be self-contained within /cmd, and may provide their own go.mod to decrease scope if a shared dependency tree becomes a problem. Each tool needs to pass a build and a test check. There isn't a requirement for code coverage, but this will eventually become the only planned merge check.

Common files that a command is encouraged to provide:

  1. README.md
    • explain why this exists,
    • who is it for,
    • document stability,
    • list usage if it's enabled in CI, link github actions,
    • list ownership / point of contact,
    • document ANY users that want to be contacted if a breaking change happens
  2. Taskfile.yml or Makefile? - collection of targets for the project, required: build, test.
    • We can auto default to go build and go test -race -count=100 ./.... This seems strict, but we have 0 legacy to care. And you really have to think which test you're going to write. Code coverage is NOT a requirement, however there are exceptions where we pay attention. See step 1.
  3. main.go, internal package, go.mod (no metaversion, we're v0 all the way)
  4. Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml

Take a look around and figure out which of these apply to you.

Any added github workflows are expected to run against the last two Go versions released. At the time of writing, this would mean 1.19 and 1.20.

Issues

You own a cmd/, you maintain the cmd to your own standards. You don't need to consider github issues or accept PRs, but this is an open source shop, sir. Make it clear in your README what kind of issues and contact you are willing to accept, if any. Nothing wrong with saying no.

Compatibility promises

Warning: Packages here are experimental and unreliable. Some may one day be promoted to the main repository or other subrepository, or they may be modified arbitrarily or even disappear altogether.
