golang ide settings

As golang becomes more and more widely used in various fields, more and more developers begin to explore the world of golang. In the golang development process, it is very important to choose a suitable IDE.

This article will introduce in detail how to set up golang's IDE to make your work more efficient.

1. Introduction to IDE

IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an integrated development environment. It is a software tool that can help developers complete programming tasks. IDE includes a series of commonly used development tools, such as editors, code completion, debuggers, version control tools, etc. Compared with simple code editors, IDEs can help developers complete development tasks faster and more efficiently.

In the development process of golang, we can choose many commonly used IDEs, such as: Goland of the JetBrains family, Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, etc.

2. Goland settings

Goland is an IDE developed by JetBrains and is tailor-made for golang developers. Here is a brief introduction to the setup steps:

1. Install Goland

Download Goland from the official website of JetBrains and install it on your computer.

2. Configure GOPATH

GOPATH is a very important environment variable in the golang development environment. It represents the golang workspace. In Goland, we need to set GOPATH to let the IDE know where our golang working directory is.

Open Goland -> Preferences (Mac)/Settings (Windows) menu, find the Go option on the left, and set the working directory to the path of your GOPATH.

3. Install golang plug-in

JetBrains' IDE has a powerful plug-in system that can provide more convenient functions for our development. Golang's plug-in Goland is also very powerful. Installing it allows us to better develop golang applications.

In Goland, press CMD Shift A (Mac) or Ctrl Shift A (Windows) to open the search box, enter plugins, select the plug-in in the Marketplace, enter "golang" in the search box to find the golang plug-in , select installation to complete.

4. Install the golang tool chain

The golang tool chain is a necessary tool for golang development, including: go build, go test, go doc, etc. In Goland, we can make these tools work properly by installing golang plug-ins.

In Goland, press cmd Shift A (Mac) or Ctrl Shift A (Windows) to open the search box, enter tools to find the golang tool, and select to install it.

5. Set code style

In Goland's Preferences/Settings, we can set golang's code style specifications to make our code more readable and beautiful.

Find the Golang option in Preferences/Settings, select Code Style, and then set your own code style specification in the Configure button on the right.

6. Start the golang debugger

The debugger is a very important tool in the golang development process, which can help developers quickly find and fix errors.

In Goland, when starting the debugger, click the Run/Debug button above, select the Edit Configurations command, enter the startup configuration page, select Go Build Server, and then set your own startup parameters. Finally, click the Debug Configurations button to start the debugger.

Summary:

The above are the simple setting steps for golang in Goland. Through these settings, we can develop golang applications faster and more efficiently. Of course, these settings are just the beginning. We still need to continue to learn and optimize our development methods to make our code more efficient and elegant.
