Using Bingo CLI

Bingo CLI is the official CLI tool for the Bingo framework, used for quickly creating projects and generating code, significantly improving development efficiency.

Installation

bash

go install github.com/bingo-project/bingoctl/cmd/bingo@latest

To install an older version (v1.4.x with built-in templates), build from source: git clone https://github.com/bingo-project/bingoctl && cd bingoctl && git checkout v1.4.7 && go build -o bingo ./cmd/bingoctl See CHANGELOG for version history

Verify installation:

bash

bingo version

Shell Completion

Bingo supports command-line auto-completion for multiple shells.

Zsh

bash

# Temporary (current session)
source <(bingo completion zsh)

# Permanent
## Linux
bingo completion zsh > "${fpath[1]}/_bingo"

## macOS (Homebrew)
bingo completion zsh > $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_bingo

If completion doesn't work, ensure .zshrc has: autoload -U compinit; compinit

Bash

bash

# Temporary (current session)
source <(bingo completion bash)

# Permanent
## Linux
bingo completion bash > /etc/bash_completion.d/bingo

## macOS (Homebrew)
bingo completion bash > $(brew --prefix)/etc/bash_completion.d/bingo

Requires the bash-completion package

Fish

bash

bingo completion fish > ~/.config/fish/completions/bingo.fish

PowerShell

powershell

bingo completion powershell > bingo.ps1
# Add the generated script to your PowerShell profile

Core Features

1. Create Project

Create a complete Bingo project scaffold with one command:

bash

bingo create github.com/myorg/myapp

Generated project includes:

Complete directory structure
Configuration file templates
Docker Compose configuration
Makefile
Basic example code

Create Command Options

Project Name and Module Name

bash

# Use default module name (same as project name)
bingo create github.com/myorg/myapp

# Customize module name (-m option)
bingo create myapp -m github.com/mycompany/myapp

Template Version Control

bash

# Use recommended version (default)
bingo create myapp

# Use specific version
bingo create myapp -r v1.2.3

# Use branch (development version)
bingo create myapp -r main

# Force re-download template
bingo create myapp -r main --no-cache

Service Selection

Control which services are included in the project (apiserver, admserver, scheduler, bot, etc.):

bash

# Only include apiserver (default)
bingo create myapp

# Create all available services
bingo create myapp --all
# or use shorthand
bingo create myapp -a

# Explicitly specify services (comma-separated)
bingo create myapp --services apiserver,admserver,scheduler

# Add service to default apiserver
bingo create myapp --add-service scheduler

# Exclude specific service
bingo create myapp --no-service bot

# Include only skeleton, no services
bingo create myapp --services none

Git Initialization

bash

# Create project and initialize git repository (default)
bingo create myapp

# Create project without git initialization
bingo create myapp --init-git=false

Build Options

bash

# Create project without building (default)
bingo create myapp

# Create project and run make build
bingo create myapp --build

Cache Management and Mirror Configuration

bash

# Cache location: ~/.bingo/templates/

# For regions with GitHub access difficulties, configure mirror
export BINGO_TEMPLATE_MIRROR=https://ghproxy.com/
bingo create myapp

# Or temporarily set
BINGO_TEMPLATE_MIRROR=https://ghproxy.com/ bingo create myapp

2. Code Generation

Quickly generate code for each layer following Bingo's best practices.

Global Options

bash

-d, --directory string   Specify directory for generated files
-p, --package string     Specify package name
-t, --table string       Read fields from database table
-s, --service string     Target service name, for auto-inferring path

Multi-Service Support

When project contains multiple services, use --service parameter to auto-infer generation path:

bash

# Generate code for default service (usually apiserver)
bingo make model user

# Generate for specific service, auto-inferring path
bingo make model user --service admserver

# Generate complete CRUD (for specified service)
bingo make crud order --service admserver

# Explicitly specify directory (highest priority, overrides --service)
bingo make model user -d custom/path

Path Inference Rules:

Scan cmd/ directory to identify existing services
If configured path contains service name, intelligently replace (e.g., internal/apiserver/model → internal/admserver/model)
Otherwise use default pattern: internal/{service}/{suffix}

Complete CRUD Code Generation

Generate all layers at once:

bash

bingo make crud user

Auto-generates:

internal/pkg/model/user.go - Data model
internal/apiserver/store/user.go - Data access layer
internal/apiserver/biz/user/user.go - Business logic layer
internal/apiserver/controller/v1/user/user.go - Controller layer
pkg/api/v1/user.go - Request/response definitions

And auto-registers to:

Store interface
Biz interface
Routes

Generate Individual Layers

bash

# Generate Model
bingo make model article

# Generate Store layer
bingo make store article

# Generate Biz layer
bingo make biz article

# Generate Controller layer
bingo make controller article

# Generate Request validation
bingo make request article

3. Generate Code from Database

Auto-generate Model code from existing database tables:

bash

# Generate single table
bingo gen -t users

# Generate multiple tables
bingo gen -t users,posts,comments

Prerequisites: Need to configure database connection in .bingo.yaml.

4. Database Migration

Generate database migration files:

bash

bingo make migration create_users_table

Generated migration files are located in internal/pkg/database/migration/.

Optional: Generate migration from database table

bash

bingo make migration create_posts_table -t posts

Run Migrations

bash

bingo migrate <command> [options]

# Options
-v, --verbose   Show detailed compilation output
    --rebuild   Force recompile migration program
-f, --force     Force execution in production environment

# Subcommands
bingo migrate up          # Run all pending migrations
bingo migrate rollback    # Rollback the last batch of migrations
bingo migrate reset       # Rollback all migrations
bingo migrate refresh     # Rollback all and re-run migrations
bingo migrate fresh       # Drop all tables and re-run migrations

Configure Migration Table Name (optional, in .bingo.yaml):

yaml

migrate:
  table: bingo_migration  # Default value

5. Generate Service Modules

Generate complete service modules:

bash

# Generate API service with HTTP server
bingo make service api --http --with-store --with-controller

# Generate service with gRPC server
bingo make service rpc --grpc

# Generate service supporting both HTTP and gRPC
bingo make service gateway --http --grpc

# Generate pure worker service for business processing
bingo make service worker --no-biz

Service options:

--http: Enable HTTP server
--grpc: Enable gRPC server
--with-biz: Generate business layer (default true)
--no-biz: Don't generate business layer
--with-store: Generate storage layer
--with-controller: Generate controller layer
--with-middleware: Generate middleware directory
--with-router: Generate router directory

6. Other Generators

bash

# Generate middleware
bingo make middleware auth

# Generate scheduled task
bingo make job cleanup

# Generate data seeder
bingo make seeder users

# Generate CLI command
bingo make cmd serve

7. Run Database Seeders

Run user-defined seeders to populate the database:

bash

bingo db seed [options]

# Options
-v, --verbose      Show detailed compilation output
    --rebuild      Force recompile seeder program
    --seeder       Specify seeder class name to run

# Examples
bingo db seed                    # Run all seeders
bingo db seed --seeder=User      # Run only UserSeeder
bingo db seed -v                 # Show detailed output

Development Workflow

Recommended development workflow:

1. Create project
   ↓
   bingo create github.com/myorg/app

2. Configure database
   ↓
   Edit .bingo.yaml

3. Generate business modules
   ↓
   bingo make crud user
   bingo make crud post

4. Customize business logic
   ↓
   Edit Biz layer code

5. Add middleware/tasks
   ↓
   bingo make middleware auth
   bingo make job cleanup

6. Run and test
   ↓
   make build && ./_output/platforms/<os>/<arch>/app-apiserver

Best Practices

1. Use CRUD Generator for Quick Start

For standard CRUD operations, use make crud directly:

bash

bingo make crud product

2. Generate from Database to Reduce Manual Work

If you already have database design, use gen command:

bash

bingo gen -t products,categories,orders

3. Test Immediately After Generation

Verify generated code works by running service:

bash

bingo make crud user
make build
./_output/platforms/<os>/<arch>/app-apiserver
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/users

4. Customize Generated Code

Generated code is a starting point. Customize based on actual needs:

Add business rules in Biz layer
Add parameter validation in Controller layer
Optimize queries in Store layer

5. Version Control Configuration Files

Commit .bingo.yaml to version control:

bash

git add .bingo.yaml
git commit -m "feat: add bingo config"

FAQ

Q: Will generated code overwrite my changes?

A: bingo doesn't overwrite existing files by default. If a file exists, it prompts whether to overwrite.

Q: How do I customize generation templates?

A: bingo uses built-in templates. To customize, fork the bingoctl repository and modify templates.

Q: Can generated code be used in production directly?

A: Generated code follows Bingo best practices but still needs adjustment based on actual business:

Add business validation
Optimize query performance
Add error handling
Write unit tests

Q: What's the difference between Bingo CLI and bingoctl in the project?

A: They are two different tools:

bingo (CLI tool): Independent project scaffold and code generation tool
cmd/bingoctl (project component): Built-in CLI tool in Bingo projects, can be extended with custom commands
