1# godoc 2 3This directory contains most of the code for running a godoc server. The 4executable lives at golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc. 5 6## Development mode 7 8In production, CSS/JS/template assets need to be compiled into the godoc 9binary. It can be tedious to recompile assets every time, but you can pass a 10flag to load CSS/JS/templates from disk every time a page loads: 11 12``` 13godoc -templates=$GOPATH/src/golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static -http=:6060 14``` 15 16## Recompiling static assets 17 18The files that live at `static/style.css`, `static/jquery.js` and so on are not 19present in the final binary. They are placed into `static/static.go` by running 20`go generate`. So to compile a change and test it in your browser: 21 221) Make changes to e.g. `static/style.css`. 23 242) Run `go generate golang.org/x/tools/godoc/static` so `static/static.go` picks 25up the change. 26 273) Run `go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/godoc` so the compiled `godoc` binary 28picks up the change. 29 304) Run `godoc -http=:6060` and view your changes in the browser. You may need 31to disable your browser's cache to avoid reloading a stale file. 32
