## usage

```
# Install anchor-go
go install github.com/gagliardetto/anchor-go@latest

# Generate code from an IDL file
anchor-go --idl /path/to/idl.json --output ./generated --program-id 0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789

# This version of `anchor-go` only supports the IDL format of anchor starting with version v0.30.0.
# If you have an older version of an IDL (many programs still have those), you can convert them with `anchor idl convert <my-program-old-idl.json> > <my-program-NEW-idl.json>` to the new format.

## what is anchor-go?

`anchor-go` generates Go clients for [Solana](https://solana.com/) programs (smart contracts) written using the [anchor](https://github.com/solana-foundation/anchor) framework.

It reads the [IDL](https://www.anchor-lang.com/docs/basics/idl) (Interface Definition Language) file generated by anchor and produces Go code that can be used to interact with the program and its data structures.
