Dep dependency manager

[ansarizafar]

Thanks for developing the ultimate Go framework. Will aah support Dep (Go dependency management tool)?

[adelowo]

I do not think aah has to officially support dep before you can make use of it..

@adelowo Thanks for your inputs.

@ansarizafar Thank you for your appreciation. I wish if you could do that in social channels, it would help aah.

aah plays well with any package management tool as described in docs https://docs.aahframework.org/versioning.html#package-management. I have tested it.

As @adelowo mentioned, yes aah officially does not lean on particular package management tool since its a aah user choice.

For example: using dep tool - github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep

I have quickly created this test app with steps for you.

Welcome to interactive way to create your aah application, press ^C to exit :)

Based on your inputs, aah CLI tool generates the aah application structure for you.

Enter your application import path: testdep

Choose your application type (web or api), default is 'web':

Choose your application Auth Scheme (form, basic), default is 'none':

Choose your session store (cookie or file), default is 'cookie':

Your aah web application was created successfully at '/Users/jeeva/go/src/testdep'
You shall run your application via the command: 'aah run --importpath testdep'

Go to https://docs.aahframework.org to learn more and customize your aah application.

Go to app base directory and run dep init

Now vendor directory, Gopkg.lock and Gopkg.toml got created.

Congrats you have successfully vendorized your app 😄

Use aah CLI as usual. Once vendor directory is present in app base directory. aah uses all the dependencies from vendor directory; not from GOPATH.

PS: If you wanna cross check, you can feel free to delete this directory $GOPATH/src/aahframework.org/* except tools.v0 since its required for aah new command and run the application. It demonstrates the use of vendor directory.
