Small template for a go service that includes postgres/redis/proxying/mocha tests

Rename Service

By default, all instances of this service are named 'foobar' or 'FOOBAR'; you should rename this service to your desired service name immediately after copying the service. For example, if you wanted to call your service fourbear, substitute <service_name> (and variations, i.e., <lowercase_service_name>) with fourbear.

Rename all instances of foobar in the code

find ./ -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -exec sed -i 's/foobar/<lowercase_service_name>/g' {} \;

find ./ -type f -not -path "./.git/*" -not -path "*/node_modules/*" -exec sed -i 's/FOOBAR/<UPPERCASE_SERVICE_NAME>/g' {} \;

NOTE: There are certain places in the code that use models which might have different caps (ex: FoobarModel). Either run the above commands or change manually accordingly.

Rename Files/Directories

You also need to rename files and directories. You can find all the files/directories to be renamed using

find . -iname "*foobar*"

You can rename files and directories with:

for f in `find . -type d -or -type f -iname '*foobar*'`; do mv $f $(echo $f | sed 's/foobar/<service_name>/g'); done
