Go-Recon

A Go package for robustly reconciling directory contents with a list of files. File data is pulled from a chain of plugin-defined sources so you can grab your data wherever it may be!

Example

When run, the following snippet of Go code will search for files named a.txt and b.txt in directories /foo and /bar/baz and soft-link them into /home/recon.

package main

import (
	"github.com/raphaelreyna/recon/sources"
	"github.com/raphaelreyna/recon"
)

func main() {
	files := []*recon.File{
		&recon.File{Name: "a.txt"},
		&recon.File{Name: "b.txt"},
	}

	d := &recon.Dir{
		Root: "/home/recon",
		Files: files,
		SourceChain: sources.NewDirSourceChain(sources.SoftLink, "/foo", "/bar/baz"),
		FilesPerm: 0644,
	}

	if errs := d.Reconcile(); len(errs) != 0 {
		panic(errs)
	}
}
