nakedret
A Go static analysis tool that identifies naked returns in functions exceeding a specified line length.
What is nakedret?
nakedret is a Go static analysis tool that finds naked returns in functions longer than a specified line length. It helps developers identify implicit return statements that violate Go's code review guidelines, which recommend explicit returns for medium-sized functions to improve code clarity.
Go developers and teams who want to enforce consistent code style and follow Go's official code review recommendations, particularly those working on larger codebases where maintainability is crucial.
Developers choose nakedret because it provides a simple, focused way to automate compliance with Go's naked return guidelines, integrates seamlessly with existing Go tooling like go vet, and offers configurable thresholds to match team preferences.
