Go¶ ↑

(a TextMate language bundle) Version 1.3

Installation¶ ↑

Ensure you’ve got a recent copy of git installed, then copy this line to your Terminal application and run it:

> curl -L https://github.com/downloads/AlanQuatermain/go-tmbundle/install-go-tmbundle.sh | sh

This project has been modified a little since it was first published. The original repository (no longer updated) is available at github.com/AlanQuatermain/old-go-tmbundle¶ ↑

Features¶ ↑

The bundle here implements a language syntax, some snippets, and some compile/format/documentation commands for the Go language (golang.org/). Much of the current infrastructure was created by Martin Kühl (github.com/mkhl), who is a significantly more seasoned TextMate bundle developer than I, and to whom I am eternally grateful.

meth

meth

in

An empty interface declaration (i.e. matches anything).

int

An interface definition with a single method.

st

[]

A slice variable type; expands to ‘[]type’, so is usable inside other snippets.

:

A short-form variable initializer (i.e. ‘name := value’).

mk

A make statement (used for creating & initializing channels, maps, etc.).

new

A new statement (used to create & initialize structure types).

Cmd-i

sel

A select statement, for looping over channel conditions.

def

A default clause within a switch.

for

A for loop.

A for loop iterating over a collection’s full range.

go

An immediate goroutine call (defines the function inline).

de

A deferred goroutine call (defines the function inline).

def

A simple deferred function call (by default supplies ‘+defer file.Close()+’).

main

A template for a +main()+ function with a tab stop at its body.

init

A template for a module’s +init()+ function, with a tab stop at its body.

,

A pair (‘first, second’), suitable for declaring result variables from a multi-return-value function or a map range loop.

Thanks¶ ↑

Thanks be to lasersox and Infininight over at the #textmate room on IRC (irc.freenode.net/textmate) for all their help in cleaning up this here bundle, and for helping me to optimize my regex use in the language grammar. Thanks to Martin Kühl for his extensive additions to this project’s snippets and commands.
