When i started working on Till now we used to use IDE<\/strong> formatting and indentation with combos like Let see how it happens:<\/p>\n gofmt read the go program and show the result after indentation, vertical alignment and even re formats comments too.<\/p>\n commands and options<\/strong> Here is small example for gofmt [js] Command<\/strong>: gofmt demo.go [js] import "fmt"<\/p>\n \/\/ this is demo to format code func print() { In above example we can see that there are multiple parenthesis around variable b,so below command will remove the extra parenthesis from println statement and will update the file too. Rule must be provide with [js] import "fmt"<\/p>\n \/\/ this is demo to format code func print() { I hope you are liking this interesting feature of Till now we used to use IDE formatting and indentation with combos like “ctrl+shift+f” or something else, so!! what if your machine could take care of all the formatting issues? and what if it not only works at file level but also at package level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":29},"categories":[1],"tags":[1471,1470,398,1474],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14673"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14673\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tothenew.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}golang<\/code>, some interesting things came out related to formatting. <\/p>\n\"ctrl+shift+f\"<\/code> or something else, so!! what if your machine could take care of all the formatting issues? and what if it not only works at file level but also at package level.
