keyify

README

Keyify turns unkeyed struct literals (T{1, 2, 3}) into keyed ones (T{A: 1, B: 2, C: 3})

Installation

Keyify requires Go 1.6 or later.

go get github.com/golangci/go-tools/cmd/keyify

Usage

Call keyify with a position such as /some/file.go:#5, where #5 is the byte offset in the file and has to point at or into a struct literal.

By default, keyify will print the new literal on stdout, formatted as Go code. By using the -json flag, it will print a JSON object denoting the start and end of the original literal, and its replacement. This is useful for integration with editors.

For a description of all available flags, see keyify -help.

Emacs

For Emacs integration, add the following to your .emacs file:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/your/gopath/src/github.com/golangci/go-tools/cmd/keyify)
(eval-after-load 'go-mode
  (lambda ()
    (require 'go-keyify)))

With point on or in a struct literal, call the go-keyify command.
