bazel-example-golang

An example project demonstrating bazel build rules for go with a local binary (go_binary) and a local library (go_library).

This requires bazel release > bazel-0.20.

$ git clone https://github.com/laramiel/bazel-example-golang.git
$ cd bazel-example-golang
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule foreach git pull origin master

$ bazel run :hello

$ bazel run :remote
$ bazel run :bare

$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ bazel run //submodule:bare
$ bazel run //submodule:remote

$ bazel run //with_vendor:remote
$ bazel run //with_vendor:bare

Explanation

This repository works in conjunction with other git repositories to provide a demonstration of Bazel BUILD rules for golang.

• bazel-example-golang
  The main repository, demonstrating binary, local, and remote repository usage.

• bazel-example-golang-remote
  An example remote repository which includes Bazel rules.

• bazel-example-golang-bare An example remote repository without any Bazel rules.

Each of the remote repositories is linked into go_binary() targets in several ways:

1. Using the WORKSPACE file to define git_repository() rules. This accounts for the :remote and :bare targets.

2. Using git submodules to import the repository source, and using those paths. This accounts for the //submodule:bare and //submodule:remote targets.

3. Using the VENDOR extension introduced in go1.6.
