|
|
WSL is a linter that enforces a very **non scientific** vision of how to make
|
|
code more readable by enforcing empty lines at the right places.
|
|
|
|
I think too much code out there is to cuddly and a bit too warm for it's own
|
|
good, making it harder for other people to read and understand. The linter will
|
|
warn about newlines in and around blocks, in the beginning of files and other
|
|
places in the code.
|
|
|
|
**I know this linter is aggressive** and a lot of projects I've tested it on
|
|
have failed miserably. For this linter to be useful at all I want to be open to
|
|
new ideas, configurations and discussions! Also note that some of the warnings
|
|
might be bugs or unintentional false positives so I would love an
|
|
[issue](https://github.com/bombsimon/wsl/issues/new) to fix, discuss, change or
|
|
make something configurable!
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
### By `go get` (local installation)
|
|
|
|
You can do that by using:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
go get -u github.com/bombsimon/wsl/cmd/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### By golangci-lint (CI automation)
|
|
|
|
`wsl` is already integrated with
|
|
[golangci-lint](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint). Please refer to the
|
|
instructions there.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
How to use depends on how you install `wsl`.
|
|
|
|
### With local binary
|
|
|
|
The general command format for `wsl` is:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
$ wsl [flags] <file1> [files...]
|
|
$ wsl [flags] </path/to/package/...>
|
|
|
|
# Examples
|
|
|
|
$ wsl ./main.go
|
|
$ wsl --no-test ./main.go
|
|
$ wsl --allow-cuddle-declarations ./main.go
|
|
$ wsl --no-test --allow-cuddle-declaration ./main.go
|
|
$ wsl --no-test --allow-trailing-comment ./myProject/...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The "..." wildcard is not used like other `go` commands but instead can only
|
|
be to a relative or absolute path.
|
|
|
|
By default, the linter will run on `./...` which means all go files in the
|
|
current path and all subsequent paths, including test files. To disable linting
|
|
test files, use `-n` or `--no-test`.
|
|
|
|
### By `golangci-lint` (CI automation)
|
|
|
|
The recommended command is:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
golangci-lint run --disable-all --enable wsl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For more information, please refer to
|
|
[golangci-lint](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint)'s documentation.
|
|
|
|
## Issues and configuration
|
|
|
|
The linter suppers a few ways to configure it to satisfy more than one kind of
|
|
code style. These settings could be set either with flags or with YAML
|
|
configuration if used via `golangci-lint`.
|
|
|
|
The supported configuration can be found [in the documentation](doc/configuration.md).
|
|
|
|
Below are the available checklist for any hit from `wsl`. If you do not see any,
|
|
feel free to raise an [issue](https://github.com/bombsimon/wsl/issues/new).
|
|
|
|
> **Note**: this linter doesn't take in consideration the issues that will be
|
|
> fixed with `go fmt -s` so ensure that the code is properly formatted before
|
|
> use.
