背景
Go 没有对项目的 layout 有硬性规定,也没有官方版本的 best practice,所以社区内部有几种不同的实践方式,可根据自身需求自行参考。本文仅作简要总结。
参考方案
根据社区 Standard Go Project Layout 提出的方案,我们可以将一个 Go Project 划分成以下几大目录:
Go Directories
/cmd
Main applications for this project.
The directory name for each application should match the name of the executable you want to have (e.g., /cmd/myapp
).
Don't put a lot of code in the application directory. If you think the code can be imported and used in other projects, then it should live in the /pkg
directory. If the code is not reusable or if you don't want others to reuse it, put that code in the /internal
directory. You'll be surprised what others will do, so be explicit about your intentions!
It's common to have a small main
function that imports and invokes the code from the /internal
and /pkg
directories and nothing else.
/internal
Private application and library code. This is the code you don't want others importing in their applications or libraries.
Put your actual application code in the /internal/app
directory (e.g., /internal/app/myapp
) and the code shared by those apps in the /internal/pkg
directory (e.g., /internal/pkg/myprivlib
).
/pkg
Library code that's ok to use by external applications (e.g., /pkg/mypubliclib
). Other projects will import these libraries expecting them to work, so think twice before you put something here :-)
It's also a way to group Go code in one place when your root directory contains lots of non-Go components and directories making it easier to run various Go tools (as mentioned in the Best Practices for Industrial Programming
from GopherCon EU 2018).
See the /pkg
directory if you want to see which popular Go repos use this project layout pattern. This is a common layout pattern, but it's not universally accepted and some in the Go community don't recommend it.
/vendor
Application dependencies (managed manually or by your favorite dependency management tool like dep
).
Don't commit your application dependencies if you are building a library.
Service Application Directories
/api
OpenAPI/Swagger specs, JSON schema files, protocol definition files.
Web Application Directories
/web
Web application specific components: static web assets, server side templates and SPAs.
Common Application Directories
/configs
Configuration file templates or default configs.
Put your confd
or consul-template
template files here.
/init
System init (systemd, upstart, sysv) and process manager/supervisor (runit, supervisord) configs.
/scripts
Scripts to perform various build, install, analysis, etc operations.
These scripts keep the root level Makefile small and simple (e.g., https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/master/Makefile
).
/build
Packaging and Continuous Integration.
Put your cloud (AMI), container (Docker), OS (deb, rpm, pkg) package configurations and scripts in the /build/package
directory.
Put your CI (travis, circle, drone) configurations and scripts in the /build/ci
directory. Note that some of the CI tools (e.g., Travis CI) are very picky about the location of their config files. Try putting the config files in the /build/ci
directory linking them to the location where the CI tools expect them (when possible).
/deployments
IaaS, PaaS, system and container orchestration deployment configurations and templates (docker-compose, kubernetes/helm, mesos, terraform, bosh).
/test
Additional external test apps and test data. Feel free to structure the /test
directory anyway you want. For bigger projects it makes sense to have a data subdirectory. For example, you can have /test/data
or /test/testdata
if you need Go to ignore what's in that directory. Note that Go will also ignore directories or files that begin with "." or "_", so you have more flexibility in terms of how you name your test data directory.
Other Directories
/docs
Design and user documents (in addition to your godoc generated documentation).
/tools
Supporting tools for this project. Note that these tools can import code from the /pkg
and /internal
directories.
/examples
Examples for your applications and/or public libraries.
/third_party
External helper tools, forked code and other 3rd party utilities (e.g., Swagger UI).
/githooks
Git hooks.
/assets
Other assets to go along with your repository (images, logos, etc).
/website
This is the place to put your project's website data if you are not using Github pages.
Directories You Shouldn't Have
/src
Some Go projects do have a src
folder, but it usually happens when the devs came from the Java world where it's a common pattern. If you can help yourself try not to adopt this Java pattern. You really don't want your Go code or Go projects to look like Java :-)
Don't confuse the project level /src
directory with the /src
directory Go uses for its workspaces as described in How to Write Go Code
. The $GOPATH
environment variable points to your (current) workspace (by default it points to $HOME/go
on non-windows systems). This workspace includes the top level /pkg
, /bin
and /src
directories. Your actual project ends up being a sub-directory under /src
, so if you have the /src
directory in your project the project path will look like this: /some/path/to/workspace/src/your_project/src/your_code.go
. Note that with Go 1.11 it's possible to have your project outside of your GOPATH
, but it still doesn't mean it's a good idea to use this layout pattern.
要区分和注意的地方
和 golang 的 workspace 的区别
golnag 的workspace 使用 GOPATH 环境变量设置,请参考 这篇文章 ,详细说明了 GOPATH 的设置方式,$GOPATH 目录下约定有三个子目录:src,bin,pkg,在src 目录下建立我们的项目,项目的路径为 :
-
$GOPATH/src/github.com/your_github_username/your_project
:绝对路径,推荐使用; -
$GOPATH/src/your_project
:相对路径,可以用,但不推荐;
而在 your_project 下的目录结构就是我们上图所说的目录结构。
注意,src 目录下可以建立多个项目
总结
就目前而言,Go 对于工程项目的 layout 并未有官方权威的指导(区别于 Go Workspace 的 layout,Go 为此有着明确的约束,即要有 bin/
、pkg/
和 src/
),但是开源社区中的大部分 Go 项目对一些目录的划分已经有了一些默契。可参考的有 Kuberntes、Promethus、etcd 等等。对于应用项目(即总是可编译出一个可执行文件的项目),一般都会有 cmd/
、pkg/
和 vendor/
,其他一些目录则根据社区习惯会有所不同。对于非应用项目,比如一些库,则上述的 layout 设计并不能完全适用,且从目前社区的编码习惯来看,不少库项目的 layout 都相对比较自由(比如很多项目就直接将其所有代码放置于项目根目录下)。
从团队协作的角度来看,必须对 Go 工程项目的 layout 定义出一个最小通用子集并为此达成使用默契。
所以,当你开始一个 Go 项目的时候,你可以这么做:
-
确定你要写的项目是 application 还是 library,如果是 application,尽可能有
cmd/
、pkg/
和vendor/
目录;如果是 library,可参考上述规则; -
如果是一个很小的项目,可以不需要所谓的目录设计,尽可能保持清晰简单即可;
-
参考设计不构成硬性的约束条件,一切都要以实际项目的需求来权衡设计,但最终还是要能保证清晰简单;
