Looking for call chaining including line-feeds

[mcrawfo2]

I am trying to generate a multi-line call chain but go requires the newline between the Dot and the Id, such as:

cfg := NewConfigBuilder().
       WithValue("k", "v").
       WithValue("a", "b").
       Build()

Currently Dot does not appear to support such a mechanism. I've added a DotLine method to Statement (below) but was wondering if there was some canonical way to do this already. If not, can a solution be added?

// DotLine renders a period followed by an newline and an identifier. Use for call chaining.
func (s *Statement) DotLine(name string) *Statement {
	d := token{
		typ:     delimiterToken,
		content: ".\n",
	}
	t := token{
		typ:     identifierToken,
		content: name,
	}
	*s = append(*s, d, t)
	return s
}

Aah unfortunately Jennifer is intentionally simplified... it's more concerned with outputting correct code rather than good looking code.

@dave could you clarify whether you're saying "I won't accept a PR that implements this" or just "I won't do this myself"?

[dave]

It's the "I won't accept a PR that implements this". The API is already complex and cluttered... there's hundreds of tweaks I could add if we were concerned with improving the exact formatting of code. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible while still allowing you to output correct, compilable code.

Thanks for clarifying! Should this issue be closed then?

[dave]

Sure feel free to close it.

Not my issue or I would 😂

😂 sorry I'm half asleep today
