Configs

Tag Autocomplete Config

• Config Key
  goStructTagAutogen.tagSuggestion

• Config Object

  {
      "TAG_NAME_1": {
          "cases": ["CASE_1", "CASE_2", ...]
          "options": ["OPTION_1", "OPTION_2", ...]
      },
      ...
  }
  

  Key	Description	Type
  cases	Field name formatting for this tag	Case[]
  options	Options after the field name	String[]

  Supported cases: camel, snake, uppersnake, pascal, none
  When multiple cases are set, every cases (and every combinations of cases and options) will appear in the autocomplete suggestion.

  Any string can be put in the options array.
  The only special case is - (dash). Instead of appending after variable name like omitempty ( json:"field,omitempty" ), it will replace the variable name ( json:"-" ).

  Each tag needs at least one config, either cases or options.

  • Config only cases — suggest a list of tags with the formatted field name as the value
  • Config only options — suggest a list of tags with each option as the value
  • Config both cases and options
    • Example: The default json config below will suggest json:"fieldName", json:"fieldName,omitempty" and json:"-"

• Default Value

  "goStructTagAutogen.tagSuggestion": {
      "json": {
          "cases": ["camel"],
          "options": ["omitempty", "-"]
      },
      "bson": {
          "cases": ["snake"],
          "options": ["omitempty", "-"]
      },
      "binding": {
          "options": ["required"]
      }
  }
  

  The extension will fallback to the default above when no config provided.

Tag Value Autocomplete Config

• Config Key
  goStructTagAutogen.valueSuggestion

• Config Object
  An object with tag names as keys and arrays of string as values

  {
      "TAG_NAME_1": ["SUGGESTION_1", "SUGGESTION_2", ...],
      "TAG_NAME_2": ["SUGGESTION_1", "SUGGESTION_2", ...],
      ...
  }
  

  Tag name can be anything.

  When typing a value for a tag in the config, the texts in the array will be used to build the suggestion list.
  Any string can be put in the array. No special case or character that need to be escaped.

  Tag value autocomplete will be triggered when the typing value matched the pattern in this config. (also when typing " or ,)

• Default Value

  "goStructTagAutogen.valueSuggestion": {
      "json": ["omitempty"],
      "bson": ["omitempty"],
      "binding": ["required"]
  }
  

Generate Tags Command Config

• Config key
  goStructTagAutogen.generation

• Config object

  {
      "template": "GEN_TEMPLATE"
  }
  

  Key	Description	Type	Default
  template	Struct tag template for the command	String	See below

• Default value

  "goStructTagAutogen.generation": {
      "template": "json:\"{{camel}}\" bson:\"{{snake}}\""
  }
  

  Double quotes need to be escaped (\")

• Available Placeholders

  • {{camel}} for the camel cased version of the field name
  • {{snake}} for the snake cased version of the field name
  • {{uppersnake}} for the upper snake cased version of the field name
  • {{pascal}} for the pascal cased version of the field name
  • {{none}} for the field name

• Example

  Config:
  {
      "tags": "json:\"{{camel}},omitempty\" bson:\"{{snake}}\" binding:\"required,gte=10\""
  }
  
  Generated tags:
  {
      TotalAmount int `json:"totalAmount,omitempty" bson:"total_amount" binding:"required,gte=10"`
  }
