Go getters and setters generator nilsafe (ggsgornil)

A VSCode extension to automatically generate getters (standard + nilsafe methods) and setters for struct fields.

• GetName() string
• GetNameOrNil() *string => allows (panic free) optional chaining
• SetName(name string) *Struct => allows method chaining

A fork of ggsg

• Added support for nilsafe getters GetNameOrNil() *string => additional feature that allows (panic free) optional chaining
• Added support for imported packages []*time.Time (bug fix)
• Added support for []*Struct and []Struct fields (bug fix)

Features

This extension generates pointer receivers. Setters always return the struct pointer to allow method chaining.

How to use

1. Select a struct and all of its fields
2. Shift+CMD+P Select command & return

Note: The first line in your selection should always be a struct declaration. The extension will only generate getters and setters for selected fields.

Extension Settings

None at the moment

Known Issues

Nested structs are not yet supported. Workaround => create a separate type for the nested struct and use it as a field in the parent struct.

// not working
type Nested struct {
	a    *A
	nest struct {
		nest2 struct {
			nest3 struct {
				b *B
			}
		}
	}
}

// working
type Nested struct {
  a    *A
  nest *Nest2
}

type Nest2 struct {
  nest2 *Nest3
}

type Nest3 struct {
  b *B
}
