Pre Commit Hook for JS and Go

If you have a web project that has both JavaScript and Go, then you may need to create a pre-commit hook to validate both .js and .go source files.

Here's one way to do it using two script files and a git pre-commit hook.

Create pre commit scripts for JS and Go

js-pre-commit-git-hook

files=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep ".js$")
if [ "$files" = "" ]; then
    exit 0
fi
LINTER=jshint
pass=true

echo "\nValidating JavaScript:\n"

for file in ${files}; do
    result=$($LINTER ${file})
    if [ "$?" == "0" ]; then
        echo "\t\033[32m$LINTER Passed: ${file}\033[0m"
    else
        echo "\t\033[31m$LINTER Failed: ${file}\033[0m"
        pass=false
    fi
done

echo "\nJavaScript validation complete\n"

if ! $pass; then
    echo "\033[41mCOMMIT FAILED:\033[0m Your commit contains files that should pass $LINTER but do not. Please fix the $LINTER errors and try again.\n"
    exit 1
else
    echo "\033[42mCOMMIT SUCCEEDED\033[0m\n"
fi

gofiles=$(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM | grep '.go$')
[ -z "$gofiles" ] && exit 0

unformatted=$(gofmt -l $gofiles)
[ -z "$unformatted" ] && exit 0

# Some files are not gofmt'd. Print message and fail.

echo >&2 "Go files must be formatted with gofmt. Please run:"
for fn in $unformatted; do
 echo >&2 "  gofmt -w $PWD/$fn"
done

exit 1

.git/hooks/pre-commit

js-pre-commit-git-hook && go-pre-commit-git-hook

Notes

Put the scripts in your $PATH and make them executable.

Create a .jshintrc file with your desired jshint configuration settings.

Format a file (or directory)

In case you've already com=mited files before setting up this git hook, you can gofmt individual files (or directories) like this:

gofmt -w dirname/filename.go
