Rest.li support in Go (golang).

restli-go

(work in progress)

Rest.li support in Go.

This project proposes a different approach with 2 principles in mind:

• Simplicity. For example, from the generated code, the developer should be able to send a request and get the response with 1 line of code for simple use cases
• Small generated code: The generation should limit the number of line of codes

Feature scope

Here is the list of feature the client will support:

• Parallelization of asynchronous operations
• Serialized execution for non-blocking computation
• Query composition
• Automatic batching
• Retry policy
• Backup request
• SLA
• Filters/middleware
• Caching (based on Cache headers)

Run

Build and install: go install

Generate the files: restli-go <output directory> <pdsc/idl directory>...

The output directory is the repository where the generated files will be stored. The pdsc/idl directory are the directories that contain the pdsc and idl files to scan. The code will be generated from these files and will be stored in the output directory path. If an extension file is not recognized, the file will be ignored.

example: restli-go ./generated ./samples

Client

The repo comes from examples to illustrate the code generated.

To run the code generation on the examples: restli-go ./generated ./samples

Simple Get Request: p, err := generated.GetProfile(context.Background(), 1)
