Development

In this section, we’ll explore how to contribute to JioTV Go and make customizations to suit your needs. Whether you’re interested in development using Docker Compose or diving into Go programming, we’ve got you covered.

Build from Source

To build JioTV Go from source, you’ll need to have Go installed on your system. If you don’t have Go installed, you can download it from here.

Clone

Let’s start by cloning the repository:

Linux/macOS:

git clone https://github.com/atanuroy22/jiotv_go.git
cd jiotv_go

Windows (PowerShell):

git clone https://github.com/atanuroy22/jiotv_go.git
cd jiotv_go

Build

Now, let’s build the project:

Linux/macOS:

go build . -o build/jiotv_go

Windows (PowerShell):

go build . -o build/jiotv_go.exe

Run

Finally, let’s run the server:

Linux/macOS:

./build/jiotv_go [commands]

Windows (PowerShell):

.\build\jiotv_go.exe [commands]

Docker

1. Run with Docker Compose:

   • Run the command:

     docker-compose up
     

     This will automatically reload the server when you make changes to the code in .go and .html files.

2. Running the Server in Background:

   • To run the server in the background, use:

     docker-compose up -d
     

3. Stop the Server:

   • To stop the server, run:

     docker-compose down
     

4. Access JioTV Go:

   • The server will be listening at http://localhost:5001.

5. Set Environment Variables:

   • You can set environment variables in the .env file for customizations.

Local Development

JioTV Go is powered by Golang, making it an exciting project for developers to explore and contribute to. Here’s how you can set up and run the server using Go:

1. Ensure You Have Golang Installed:

   • First, make sure you have Golang installed on your system.

2. Start the Server:

   Linux/macOS:

   go run ./cmd/jiotv_go
   

   Windows (PowerShell):

   go run .\cmd\jiotv_go
   

   Please note that you’ll need to stop and restart the server manually when you make changes to the code.

3. Enable Debugging and Auto-Reloading:

   To enable automatic reloading on template changes in the views folder and enable debug logs in the console/terminal:

   Linux/macOS:

   JIOTV_DEBUG=true JIOTV_LOG_TO_STDOUT=true go run main.go serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5001
   

   Windows (PowerShell):

   $env:JIOTV_DEBUG="true"; $env:JIOTV_LOG_TO_STDOUT="true"; go run main.go serve --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5001
   

That’s it! You’re now all set to explore and contribute to JioTV Go. Happy coding! 🖥️👩‍💻👨‍💻

Customize the Look with TailwindCSS

At JioTV Go, we use the versatile TailwindCSS for styling our project. If you’re eager to make some style enhancements, here’s how you can do it:

1. Ensure You Have NodeJS Installed:

   • Make sure you have NodeJS installed on your system.

2. Navigate to the web Directory:

   • Open a new terminal window and navigate to the project’s root directory. Then, switch to the web directory by running according to your system: Linux/macOS:

   cd web
   

   Windows (PowerShell):

   cd web
   

3. Install Dependencies:

   • Install the necessary dependencies by running according to your system: Linux/macOS/Windows:

   npm install
   

4. Real-Time TailwindCSS Updates:

   To keep TailwindCSS up to date with your changes in real-time, by running according to your system:

   Linux/macOS/Windows:

   npm run watch
   

5. Build Minified CSS:

   • Once you’re satisfied with your style modifications, it’s time to build the minified CSS file:

   Linux/macOS/Windows:

   npm run build
   

   npm run build
   

Now you have the flexibility to customize the look and feel of JioTV Go to match your preferences.
