darrikonn / vim-gofmt

Minimal Vim Go formatter plugin

vim-gofmt

NOTE

The contents of this repo are pure copy-paste from the awesome vim-go repo.

The only differences is that vim-gofmt strips most of the functionality, leaving only go-fmt and go-imports (along with the binary setup commands) to format your code

The reason is simply that I personally don't like having my vim editor act like a fully fledged IDE with all of its features.

So if you want more features, please check out vim-go

Features

This plugin adds Go language support for Vim, with the following main features:

• gofmt
• goimports

Install

vim-gofmt requires at least Vim 8.0.1453 or Neovim 0.3.1.

vim-gofmt follows the standard runtime path structure. Below are some helper lines for popular package managers:

• Vim 8 packages
  • git clone https://github.com/darrikonn/vim-gofmt.git ~/.vim/pack/plugins/start/vim-gofmt
• Pathogen
  • git clone https://github.com/darrikonn/vim-gofmt.git ~/.vim/bundle/vim-gofmt

  • Plug 'darrikonn/vim-gofmt', { 'do': ':GoUpdateBinaries' }
• Vundle

You will also need to install all the necessary binaries. vim-gofmt makes it easy to install all of them by providing a command, :GoInstallBinaries, which will go install all the required binaries.

Usage

vim-gofmt exposes four commands:

1. :GoFmt - to format your code
2. :GoImports - to format/clean your imports
