Release Date: 2018-07-18 // almost 6 years ago

  • 🔋 FEATURES:

    • Add :GoIfErr command together with the <Plug>(go-iferr) plug key to create a custom mapping. This command generates an if err != nil { return ... } automatically which infer the type of return values and the numbers. For example:
      func doSomething() (string, error) {
      f, err := os.Open("file")
  }

    Becomes:

      func doSomething() (string, error) {
      f, err := os.Open("file")
      if err != nil {
          return "", err
      }
  }
