typegroupingcheck Linter

typegroupingcheck is a static analysis tool for Go that checks for grouped function parameter types in Go code. It is designed to be integrated with the golangci-lint toolset.

Overview

The linter checks for grouped parameters, where the type is specified once for multiple parameters.

It can be used as a standalone tool or integrated into golangci-lint to enhance the existing suite of linters with this specific check.

Installation

To install typegroupingcheck as a standalone linter, use the following command:

go install github.com/karimodm/typegroupingcheck@latest

Replace github.com/karimodm/typegroupingcheck with the actual import path of your linter.

Building

To build typegroupingcheck as a plugin ready to be used by golangci-list, use the following command:

go build -buildmode=plugin -o typegroupingcheck.so

Usage

After installation, you can run typegroupingcheck on your Go files or projects like so:

typegroupingcheck ./...

Integration with golangci-lint

To integrate typegroupingcheck with golangci-lint, you will need to add it to the configuration file .golangci.yml in the root directory of your project. Here is a sample configuration:

linters-settings:
  custom:
    typegroupingcheck:
      path: typegroupingcheck
      description: Checks for grouped function parameter types
      original-url: github.com/karimodm/typegroupingcheck
linters:
  enable:
    - typegroupingcheck

Please note that integration with golangci-lint requires the typegroupingcheck binary to be in your PATH.
