INFINI Golang Framework Vendors

INFINI Golang framework manages all dependencies in the vendor directory. This approach ensures portability and facilitates offline development.

Why Vendoring Dependencies?

Vendoring dependencies offers several benefits:

1. Consistency and Stability: Vendoring locks in specific versions of external libraries, ensuring that your project remains functional even if upstream dependencies change or are removed.
2. Offline Builds: With vendored dependencies, you can build and deploy your code without an internet connection, which is especially useful in CI/CD environments or restricted networks.
3. Security and Compliance: Maintaining a local copy of dependencies allows for easier auditing, reviewing, and control, which is important for security and compliance purposes.
4. Reduced External Dependency Risks: Vendoring protects your project from external risks like deleted or unavailable upstream packages by storing a local copy of all dependencies.

How to Add a New Vendor

Run the following command to fetch the vendor:

go get -u github.com/vendor/repo

The vendor files will be located in the ~/go/src directory.

Move the necessary vendor files to the vendor directory into repo.

Clean up the .git repositories from all submodules, run this command (exclude .git in the root folder):

find . -path './.git' -prune -o -type d -name ".git" -exec rm -rf {} +

After cleanup the new vendor files, commit them to your repository.

Once the vendor files are copied, you can clean up the files located in ~/go/src, except for the infini.sh folder.
