Installation + +You need a recent machine with `go` installed. + +> This package has not been tested under the version **1.10**. + + + +##### (1) Installation + +Run the following command to fetch and install the package : + +```bash +go get -u git.xdrm.io/go/aicra +``` + +It should now be available locally and available for your imports. + + + +You should then install the project builder to help you manage your projects, run the following command : + +```bash +go install git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/cmd/aicra +``` + +The executable `aicra` will be placed into your `$GOPATH/bin` folder, if added to your environment PATH it should be available as a standalone command in your terminal. If not, you can simply run `$GOPATH/bin/aicra` to use the command or create a symlink into `/usr/local/bin` or the PATH folder of your choice for less characters to type. + + + +#### 2. Setup a project + +To create a project using **aicra**, simply create an empty folder. Then you'll have to create a `manifest.json` file containing your API description. To write your manifest file, follow this [example](https://git.xdrm.io/example/aicra/src/master/manifest.json). + + + +##### (1) Controllers + +For each *uri*, you'll have to place your implementation into the local `root` folder following the following naming convention : add `i.go` at the end of the route. + +> **Example** - `/path/to/some/uri` will be implemented in the *./root* local folder inside the file : `/path/to/some/urii.go`. + +A fully working example is available [here](https://git.xdrm.io/example/aicra). + + + +##### (2) Custom types + +If you want to create custom types for the type checker or override built-in types place them inside the `./custom-types` folder. You can check what structure to follow by looking at the [built-in types](https://git.xdrm.io/go/aicra/src/master/checker/default). + + + +#### 3. Build your project + +After each controller or custom type edition, you'll have to rebuild the project.
