Bee is a command-line tool facilitating development of Beego-based application.
To install or update bee
use the go install
command:
go install github.com/beego/bee/v2@latest
bee
binary to PATH environment variable in your ~/.bashrc
or ~/.bash_profile
file:export PATH=$PATH:<your_main_gopath>/bin
To install bee
use the go get
command:
go get github.com/beego/bee/v2
If you already have
bee
installed, updatingbee
is simple:
go get -u github.com/beego/bee/v2
Bee provides a variety of commands which can be helpful at various stages of development. The top level commands include:
version Prints the current Bee version
migrate Runs database migrations
api Creates a Beego API application
bale Transforms non-Go files to Go source files
fix Fixes your application by making it compatible with newer versions of Beego
pro Source code generator
dlv Start a debugging session using Delve
dockerize Generates a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml for your Beego application
generate Source code generator
hprose Creates an RPC application based on Hprose and Beego frameworks
new Creates a Beego application
pack Compresses a Beego application into a single file
rs Run customized scripts
run Run the application by starting a local development server
server serving static content over HTTP on port
update Update Bee
To display the current version of bee
, beego
and go
installed on your machine:
$ bee version

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.
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

Enable auto-download of the swagger file if it does not exist.
-e=[]
List of paths to exclude.
-gendoc
Enable auto-generate the docs.

DESCRIPTION
Run command will supervise the filesystem of the application for any changes, and recompile/restart it.
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.
Please submit an issue on GitHub and we will follow up. Even better, we would appreciate a Pull Request with a fix for it!
master
and submit your PR against it.develop
(the development branch), base your work on develop
and submit your PR against it.Please follow the Pull Request Guidelines.
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.
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:
bee
you are running (include the output of bee version
)The more information you give us, the more able to help we will be!
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:
$ git rebase -i develop
# choose which commits to edit and perform the updates
$ git push origin feature/my-feature -f
