Goose is a command which adds brackets for golang!
Golang is great! But its syntax doesn't fit me..
I have no idea about changing it. Only to change the way I code it.
Please help me if you are familiar with Golang.
Indentation-sensitive syntax is more concise. Some people like it, some hate it.
But there should always be an alternative solution for the minority.
Hope you like it.
Installation
By now it's a simple and fragile script adding brackets by counting.
Installing it with npm, some of you may need to add sudo:
npm install -g goose
Use command to watch files in the background. It will write .go in the same path.
There shouldn't be any output after running it. Note that I only tested on Linux.
goose files.gos file2.gos more-file.gos &
pkill -f goose
Usage
-o option to specify output directory.
Considered:
It'll be much more complicated to make it compatible with the whole go syntax.
Below is the parts covered in this script:
var const importuse parentheses- force
case defaultto use curly brackets // commentsfor comments,/* cross line */is also availablebackquoterepresents cross line strings- golang use
"\t"to indent
Examples:
This is only a demo in fake code:
package main import "fmt" func main() fmt.Println("Hello, 世界") var Stdin = newFile (0, "/dev/stdin") Stdout = newFile (1, "/dev/stdout") Stderr = newFile (2, "/dev/stderr") import "./file" "flag" "fmt" "os" const red = iota // red == 0 blue // blue == 1 green // green == 2 func cat(f *file.File) const NBUF = 512 var buf [NBUF]byte for switch nr, er := f.Read(buf[:]); true case nr < 0: fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error reading from %s: %s\n", f.String(), er.String()) os.Exit(1) case nr == 0: // EOF return case nr > 0: if nw, ew := file.Stdout.Write(buf[0:nr]); nw != nr fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error writing from %s: %s\n", f.String(), ew.String()) Otto.Set("def", 11)Otto.Run(` console.log("The value of def is " + def) // The value of def is 1 `) /* commentcomment comment comment*/Converts to:
package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")} var ( Stdin = newFile (0, "/dev/stdin") Stdout = newFile (1, "/dev/stdout") Stderr = newFile (2, "/dev/stderr")) import ( "./file" "flag" "fmt" "os") const ( red = iota // red == 0 blue // blue == 1 green // green == 2) func cat(f *file.File) { const NBUF = 512 var buf [NBUF]byte for { switch nr, er := f.Read(buf[:]); true case nr < 0: { fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error reading from %s: %s\n", f.String(), er.String()) os.Exit(1) } case nr == 0: // EOF { return } case nr > 0: { if nw, ew := file.Stdout.Write(buf[0:nr]); nw != nr { fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "cat: error writing from %s: %s\n", f.String(), ew.String()) } } }} Otto.Set("def", 11)Otto.Run(` console.log("The value of def is " + def) // The value of def is 1 `) /* commentcomment { comment } comment}*/Syntax highlight
