Idiot-proof how to install and use go-xsd

[uccmen]

Being an idiot - I still have absolutely no idea on how to use this tool after reading the README. As the title says it - may I suggest an idiot-proof guide on how to install and use this package for all idiots out there like me. It could be a step by step guide for instance.

For example;

1. go get github.com/metaleap/go-xsd
2. ...

Much thanks!

+1 on improving the readme, but FYI the command you're looking for is

go get -u github.com/metaleap/go-xsd/xsd-makepkg

So how do you use this?

Then it didn't generate anything. I still just have my xsd file.

[prestonvanloon]

I figured it out after reading many of the issues.

• You have to host the xsd file somewhere and provide it via the URI

• The package is generated under the URI path rather than where you'd expect (in the working directory)

• go get -u github.com/metaleap/go-xsd/xsd-makepkg

• http-server or similar to host the xsd

• xsd-makepkg -uri="http://192.168.1.100:8080/service.xsd"

• Copy the go file from the package it was generated. ($GOPATH/src/192.168.1.100:8080/service.xsd_go/service.xsd.go)

I was expecting to do xsd-makepkg service.xsd and it output a service.xsd.go in the same working directory.

@prestonvanloon You can do so with xsd-makepkg -basepath="`pwd`" -uri="service.xsd"

[TonyHoyle]

The above command does not work. You just get ERROR: Get http://datafile.xsd: dial tcp: lookup service.xsd: no such host

Setting up a webserver is mandatory for this app, it seems. Very odd requirement..
