This directory contains doc/, static/, favicon.ico, and robots.txt. The executable lives at golang.org/x/website/cmd/golangorg.
In production, CSS/JS/template assets need to be compiled into the golangorg binary. It can be tedious to recompile assets every time, but you can pass a flag to load CSS/JS/templates from disk every time a page loads:
golangorg -templates=$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/website/content/static -http=:6060
The files that live at static/style.css
, static/jquery.js
and so on are not present in the final binary. They are placed into static/static.go
by running go generate
. So to compile a change and test it in your browser:
Make changes to e.g. static/style.css
.
Run go generate golang.org/x/website/content/static
so static/static.go
picks up the change.
Run go install golang.org/x/website/cmd/golangorg
so the compiled golangorg
binary picks up the change.
Run golangorg -http=:6060
and view your changes in the browser. You may need to disable your browser's cache to avoid reloading a stale file.
