After installation, you are ready to use wire. Here are the steps to get you started:
- Create a new Go project: Open your terminal and create a new directory for your project using
mkdir myproject. - Change to the project directory: Use
cd myprojectto navigate into your new directory. - Initialize a Go module: Run
go mod init myprojectto set up the module. - Create a wire.go file: Create a new file called
wire.goin your project directory. You can use a simple text editor to do this. - Define your components: In your
wire.gofile, you will need to define your application's components. This is where you tell wire how to manage your dependencies. - Generate the code: Run the command
wirein your terminal. This command processes yourwire.gofile and generates the code needed for your application.
- Compile-time dependency injection: wire handles dependencies efficiently at compile time, reducing run-time errors.
- Code generation: Automatically generates code, saving you time and effort in wiring dependencies.
- Supports Go modules: Works seamlessly with Go modules to keep your project organized.
