Formatting strings
GoLand provides a feature that identifies Printf-like functions and applies corresponding coding assistance to them (for example, inspections, quick-fixes, spellchecking, highlighting, code folding, and so on).
A function is automatically recognized as Printf-like. The criteria for a function to be a candidate for Printf-like recognition are:
It is a function or method.
Its name ends with
f(for example,Printf,Sprintf,Foof).It contains at least two arguments.
The second-to-last argument is a string.
The last argument is variadic and of the empty interface type (
interface{}).
On the following screenshot, Printf-like functions are highlighted in green color.
You can exclude the function from the list of Printf-like functions if it was detected as formatting automatically. To exclude the function, use intention actions by pressing Alt+Enter or go to the settings.
