以编程方式编译go源文件

Question

I would like to build a Go server which receives Go source code from a client such as a react application and then compiles this code.

Can someone provide a clear explanation of steps to achieve this in Go and provide the Go packages that are used to achieve this and if possible provide example code?

Answer 1

You can always save the code to disk and use the Go tooling to run the code via the os/exec package. Go would need to be installed.

Or you use a docker container with Go to run the code.

If that is not what you had in mind I suggest you look at how the Go tooling is doing it. It's all open source: https://github.com/golang/. But that'll probably be a big rabbit hole to go down.

That being said, running code you get from the web is a major security risk. So beware you properly secure that by running in a sandbox or securing the way the code is submitted. Best both.
