# gopher.nvim

[![Stand With Ukraine](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vshymanskyy/StandWithUkraine/main/banner-direct-single.svg)](https://stand-with-ukraine.pp.ua)

Minimalistic plugin for Go development in Neovim written in Lua.

It's **NOT** an LSP tool, the main goal of this plugin is to add go tooling support in Neovim.

> If you want to use new and maybe undocumented, and unstable features you might use [develop](https://github.com/olexsmir/gopher.nvim/tree/develop) branch.

## Install (using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim))

Requirements:

- **Neovim 0.10** or later
- `go` treesitter parser, install by `:TSInstall go`
- [Go](https://github.com/golang/go) installed (tested on 1.23)

```lua
{
  "olexsmir/gopher.nvim",
  ft = "go",
  -- branch = "develop", -- if you want develop branch
                         -- keep in mind, it might break everything
  dependencies = {
    "nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
    "nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
    "mfussenegger/nvim-dap", -- (optional) only if you use `gopher.dap`
  },
  -- (optional) will update plugin's deps on every update
  build = function()
    vim.cmd.GoInstallDeps()
  end,
  ---@type gopher.Config
  opts = {},
}
```

## Configuratoin

> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> If you need more info look `:h gopher.nvim`

**Take a look at default options**

```lua
require("gopher").setup {
  commands = {
    go = "go",
    gomodifytags = "gomodifytags",
    gotests = "gotests",
    impl = "impl",
    iferr = "iferr",
    dlv = "dlv",
  },
  gotests = {
    -- gotests doesn't have template named "default" so this plugin uses "default" to set the default template
    template = "default",
    -- path to a directory containing custom test code templates
    template_dir = nil,
    -- switch table tests from using slice to map (with test name for the key)
    -- works only with gotests installed from develop branch
    named = false,
  },
  gotag = {
    transform = "snakecase",
  },
}
```
