# gopher.nvim
[](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.
## Install (using [lazy.nvim](https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim)
Pre-dependency:
- [go](https://github.com/golang/go) (tested on 1.17 and 1.18)
- Go treesitter parser, install by `:TSInstall go`
```lua
{
"olexsmir/gopher.nvim",
ft = "go",
dependencies = {
"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
"mfussenegger/nvim-dap", -- (optional) only if you use `gopher.dap`
},
-- (optional) 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`
```lua
require("gopher").setup {
commands = {
go = "go",
gomodifytags = "gomodifytags",
gotests = "~/go/bin/gotests", -- also you can set custom command path
},
gotests = {
template = "default",
},
gotag = {
transform = "pascalcase"
}
}
```
>[!NOTE]
For named tests to work you have to install gotests from develop branch. Next code snippets could be placed into the build step in the Lazy plugin declaration
```lua
-- using mason-tool-installer
require("mason-tool-installer").setup {
ensure_installed = {
{ "gotests", version = "develop" },
}
}
-- using `vim.fn.jobstart`
vim.fn.jobstart("go install github.com/cweill/gotests/...@develop")
```
## Features
Install plugin's go deps
```vim
:GoInstallDeps
```
This will install the following tools:
- [gomodifytags](https://github.com/fatih/gomodifytags)
- [impl](https://github.com/josharian/impl)
- [gotests](https://github.com/cweill/gotests)
- [iferr](https://github.com/koron/iferr)
- [dlv](github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv)
Add and remove tags for structs via gomodifytags
By default `json` tag will be added/removed, if not set:
```vim
" add json tag
:GoTagAdd json
" remove yaml tag
:GoTagRm yaml
```
```lua
--- or you can use lua api
require("gopher").tags.add "xml"
require("gopher").tags.rm "proto"
```
Generating tests via gotests
```vim
" Generate one test for a specific function/method(one under cursor)
:GoTestAdd
" Generate all tests for all functions/methods in the current file
:GoTestsAll
" Generate tests only for exported functions/methods in the current file:
:GoTestsExp
```
```lua
--- or you can use lua api
require("gopher").test.add()
```
Run commands like `go mod/get/etc` inside of nvim
```vim
:GoGet github.com/gorilla/mux
" Link can have an `http` or `https` prefix.
:GoGet https://github.com/lib/pq
" You can provide more than one package url
:GoGet github.com/jackc/pgx/v5 github.com/google/uuid/
" go mod commands
:GoMod tidy
:GoMod init new-shiny-project
" go work commands
:GoWork sync
" run go generate in cwd
:GoGenerate
" run go generate for the current file
:GoGenerate %
```
Interface implementation via impl
Syntax of the command:
```vim
:GoImpl [receiver] [interface]
" also you can put a cursor on the struct and run
:GoImpl [interface]
```
Usage examples:
```vim
:GoImpl r Read io.Reader
:GoImpl Write io.Writer
" or you can put a cursor on the struct and run
:GoImpl io.Reader
```
Generate boilerplate for doc comments
First set a cursor on **public** package/function/interface/struct and execute:
```vim
:GoCmt
```
Generate if err != nil { via iferr
Set the cursor on the line with `err` and execute
```vim
:GoIfErr
```
Setup nvim-dap for go in one line

> [nvim-dap](https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap) has to be installed
```lua
require("gopher.dap").setup()
```
