representer

Exercism's Go Representer

This is Exercism's representer for the Go track. See the docs for more information on representers.

Build Executable

This will create an executable called represent.

go build -tags build -o represent .

Executing the Representer

The representer takes three arguments:

• The slug of the exercise (e.g. two-fer).
• A path to a directory containing the submitted file(s) (with a trailing slash).
• A path to an output directory (with a trailing slash). This directory is writable.

The representer will write a representation.txt and mapping.json file to the output directory.

With the binary built above:

represent two-fer ./representer/testdata/two-fer/1/ ./

Current Normalizations

The basic normalizations recommended in the docs are implemented.

• Use placeholders for variable names
• Remove comments
• Apply standard formatting
• Consolidate multiple files
• Sort top level declarations (imports, types, constants, variables, functions)

Batch Analysis

See Batch Analysis README for information on how to run the representer on a bigger data set.
