Question 1

How do I set up realize for a basic Go web server?

Accepted Answer

Install realize via 'go get', then run 'realize start' in your project root to generate a config file. Customize the .realize.yaml to enable commands like 'run' for your server and add watched paths or extensions as needed.

Question 2

Realize vs Air: which is better for Go live reload?

Accepted Answer

Realize offers more features like multi-project management and a web UI, making it suited for complex workflows. Air is simpler and faster for single projects, so choose based on your need for extensibility versus simplicity.

Question 3

Can realize watch HTML or template files in a Go project?

Accepted Answer

Yes, realize allows custom file extensions to be watched. In the configuration, add extensions like 'html' to the watcher section to trigger reloads on changes to those files, as shown in the config sample.

Question 4

How to add environment variables for my Go project in realize?

Accepted Answer

In the .realize.yaml file, under the project schema, define env variables as key-value pairs. These are set when the project starts, as demonstrated in the config sample with entries like 'test: test'.

Question 5

Why isn't the realize web UI opening on my machine?

Accepted Answer

Ensure the server status is set to true in the config and check the host and port settings. Use the '--open' flag with the start command to automatically open it, but firewall or port conflicts might require troubleshooting.

Question 6

Does realize support Go modules?

Accepted Answer

Realize should work with Go modules as it integrates with standard Go commands. However, ensure your project path is correctly set in the configuration, and test with commands like 'go mod' if custom scripts are needed.
