# Wide [![Build Status](https://drone.io/github.com/b3log/wide/status.png)](https://drone.io/github.com/b3log/wide/latest)
## Intro
A Web IDE for Teams using Golang.
## Motivation
* **Team** IDE:
* Safe and reliable: the project source code stored on the server in real time, the developer's machine crashes without losing any source code
* Unified environment: server unified development environment configuration, the developer machine without any additional configuration
* Out of the box: 5 minutes to setup a server then open browser to develop, debug
* Version Control: each developer has its own source code repository, easy sync with the trunk
* **Web based** IDE:
* Developer needs a browser only
* Cross-platform, even on mobile devices
* Easy for extensions
* Easy integration with other systems
* For the geeks
* A try for commercial-open source: versions customized for enterprises, close to their development work flows respectively
* Currently more popular Go IDE has some defects or regrets:
* Text editor (vim/emacs/sublime/Atom, etc.): For the Go newbie is too complex
* Plug-in (goclipse, etc.): the need for the original IDE support, not professional
* LiteIDE: no modern user interface :p
* No team development experience
* There are a few of GO IDEs, and no one developed by Go itself, this is a nice try
## Features
* Code Highlight, Folding: Go/HTML/JavaScript/Markdown etc.
* Autocomplete: Go/HTML etc.
* Format: Go/HTML/JSON etc.
* Run & Debug: run/debug multiple processes at the same time
* Multiplayer: a real team development experience
* Navigation, Jump to declaration, Find usages, File search etc.
* Shell: run command on the server
* Git integration: git command on the web
* Web development: Frontend devlopment (HTML/JS/CSS) all in one
* Go tool: go get/install/fmt etc.
## Architecture
### Build & Run
![Build & Run](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/873584/4389219/3642bc62-43f3-11e4-8d1f-06d7aaf22784.png)
* A browser tab corresponds to a Wide session
* Execution output push via WebSocket
Flow:
1. Browser sends ````Build```` request
2. Server executes ````go build```` command via ````os/exec````
2.1. Generates a executable file
3. Browser sends ````Run```` request
4. Server executes the file via ````os/exec````
4.1. A running process
4.2. Execution output push via WebSocket channel
5. Browser renders with callback function ````ws.onmessage````
### Code Assist

* Autocompletion
* Find Usages
Flow:
1. Browser sends code assist request
2. Handler gets user workspace of the request with HTTP session
3. Server executes ````gocode````/````ide_stub````
3.1 Sets environment variables (e.g. ${GOPATH})
3.2 ````gocode```` with ````lib-path```` parameter

## Setup from sources
1. Downloads source
2. Gets dependencies with
* `go get -u`
* `go get -u github.com/88250/ide_stub`
* `go get -u github.com/nsf/gocode`
3. Compiles wide with `go build`
4. Configures `conf/wide.json`
5. Runs the executable `wide` or `wide.exe`
## Known Issues
* [Shell is not available on Windows](https://github.com/b3log/wide/issues/32)
