gomv

gomv

gomv moves function from one package to another. After moving to another package, the referenced function calls are updated. Before applying changes, a diff preview is also shown.

Currently, it works only for function and does not ensure code will compile successfully after applying changes.

Usage

Move function from one package to another.
Usage:
    gomv [flags] <PackageName.FunctionName> <DestFilePath>

Flags:
    -dir <location of the project directory>
    -no-preview

Installation

go install github.com/nhAnik/gomv/cmd/gomv@latest

Example

gomv -dir <DirectoryName> <PackageName.FunctionName> <DestFilePath>

Here, DestFilePath denotes the path of the destination file. It can be either absolute path or path relative to project root directory.

For example, to move a function named fun inside util package to another file foo/bar.go

gomv -dir /path/to/go/project util.fun foo/bar.go

In /path/to/go/project directory, the -dir flag can be omitted like below:

gomv util.fun foo/bar.go

By default, a preview will be shown before applying changes and users will be prompted whether they want to apply the changes.

To disable preview and blindly accept changes (which is not recommended), -no-preview flag can be used.

gomv -dir /path/to/go/project -no-preview util.fun foo/bar.go
