Golang Commands

Overview  

In this blog I am going to explain about basic go command and in depth knowledge about go commands will come after this series of basic go programming end.

fallowing topic will be explained in this blog :
  • primary commands
  • help topic

Commands

Go ahead open command prompt on type go and press Enter.

Go commands

you can see all the commands and help topic that go provide.

Primary Commands 




this all are primary commands that go provide. this all are self explanatory. we have "bug" command for bug report, "clean" to clean previous projects, "install" to install packages to project.mod command needs explanation. which we will discuss on the next blog.

but the command I want to talk about is doc. if we run ''go doc <package name>'' command 
example "go doc json.decoder.decode" it will show the out put below.

go doc json.decoder.decode command out put


and if you run "go doc json.decoder" it will show the out put below.


go doc json.decoder command out put


and if you run "go doc json" it will show the out put below.

go doc json command out put


so what "go doc" command do is, it will go to the source code and show the documentation comment that has been written to help understand code and api. 

for "go doc json.decoder.decode" comment it went to the json package and decoder object and decode method and displayed  the documentation comments. 

Additional Help Topic


if you need any help regarding the commands, just run "go help <topic name>" it will provide you with the necessary information to use that command. Advance knowledge about go command will be provided in an different series of blog.

In Go Lang modules are the official way of organize go code. in this blog I am going to explain the way you create a model and first hello world with that project. Explanation To Module you need to run the command bellow go mod init <module name>  If you can see I have named my module github.com/TahimFaisal/golang. the name of the module is called module initializer. this is the standard way of initialization. And for the go get command it will it will know where to go and get the mod if it cannot find the mod locally.  Okay, soon after you ran the command you will get a file named go.mod in your working directory  it will be having module initializer and the version of go your using.  ...

Loop break continue infinity collection Panic Switches Loop You can use loop as below. here i variable is declared inside the loop so the value will be valid in side the loop.  Example       package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { for i:=0;i<5;i++{ fmt.Println(i) } } output : 0 1 2 3 4 5 Break in Loop what Break statement dose is it will break out from the loop.          package main      import (      "fmt"      )      func main() {      for i:=0;i<5;i++{      fmt.Println(i)      if i==2 {      break      }      }      ...
