Description

This layer adds extensive support for go.

Features:

• gofmt on file save
• Auto-completion using go-autocomplete (with the auto-completion layer)
• Source analysis using go-oracle

Install

Pre-requisites

You will need gocode and godef:

  go get -u -v github.com/nsf/gocode
  go get -u -v github.com/rogpeppe/godef
  go get -u -v golang.org/x/tools/cmd/oracle

Make sure that gocode executable is in your PATH. For information about setting up $PATH, check out the corresponding section in the FAQ (SPC f e h $PATH RET).

For best results, make sure that the auto-completion and syntax-checking layers are enabled as well.

Layer

To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs

  (setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers '(go))

Configuration

By default, go buffers are run through gofmt on save. To use a different formatter, set the value of gofmt-command, e.g.

  (setq gofmt-command "goimports")
