golines
A Go code formatter that automatically shortens long lines beyond what gofmt provides.
What is golines?
Golines is a Go code formatter that automatically shortens long lines, which standard Go tools like gofmt deliberately omit. It helps maintain readable code by breaking down excessively long lines according to configurable preferences, such as maximum line length and method chain splitting. Additionally, it performs formatting fixes like struct tag alignment and integrates with base formatters like goimports.
Go developers who prioritize code readability and want automated enforcement of line length limits, particularly those working on large codebases or teams where consistent formatting is crucial. It's also useful for developers who use method chaining or complex structs and need tools to format these constructs cleanly.
Developers choose Golines because it fills a gap left by standard Go formatting tools by automatically shortening long lines, reducing manual effort and improving code consistency. Its unique selling point is the combination of line shortening with configurable options like method chain splitting and struct tag alignment, offering more control over formatting than gofmt alone.
