IDE Integration

You can configure your editor to provide lint warnings from go-reqfields via golangci-lint.

To do that, first download this repo and run go generate ./.... This will generate a Go plugin that golangci-lint will use.

Then, add a .golangci.yml to your repo with the following configuration:

linters-settings:
  custom:
    reqfields:
      # Make sure to update this path to point at your local copy of `colinking/go-reqfields`:
      path: ./cmd/plugin/main.so
      description: Compile-time warnings for required fields.
      original-url: github.com/colinking/go-reqfields

linters:
  enable:
    - reqfields

Finally, configure your editor to use golangci-lint. For example in VSCode, you add the following to your settings file:

"go.lintTool": "golangci-lint",
"go.lintFlags": ["--fast"],
