OpenIM development specification

We have very high standards for code style and specification, and we want our products to be polished and perfect

1. Code style

1.1 Code format

  • Code must be formatted with gofmt.
  • Leave spaces between operators and operands.
  • It is recommended that a line of code does not exceed 120 characters. If the part exceeds, please use an appropriate line break method. But there are also some exception scenarios, such as import lines, code automatically generated by tools, and struct fields with tags.
  • The file length cannot exceed 800 lines.
  • Function length cannot exceed 80 lines.
  • import specification
  • All code must be formatted with goimports (it is recommended to set the code Go code editor to: run goimports on save).
  • Do not use relative paths to import packages, such as import ../util/net.
  • Import aliases must be used when the package name does not match the last directory name of the import path, or when multiple identical package names conflict.
// bad
"github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go/v4"

//good
jwt "github.com/dgrijalva/jwt-go/v4"
  • Imported packages are suggested to be grouped, and anonymous package references use a new group, and anonymous package references are explained.
import (
// go standard package
"fmt"

// third party package
"github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
"github.com/spf13/cobra"
"github.com/spf13/viper"

// Anonymous packages are grouped separately, and anonymous package references are explained
// import mysql driver
_ "github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/mysql"

// inner package
)

1.2 Declaration, initialization and definition

When multiple variables need to be used in a function, the var declaration can be used at the beginning of the function. Declaration outside the function must use var, do not use :=, it is easy to step on the scope of the variable.

var (
Width int
Height int
)
  • When initializing a structure reference, please use &T{} instead of new(T) to make it consistent with structure initialization.
// bad
sptr := new(T)
sptr.Name = "bar"

// good
sptr := &T{Name: "bar"}
  • The struct declaration and initialization format takes multiple lines and is defined as follows.
type User struct{
     Username string
     Email string
}

user := User{
Username: "belm",
Email: "nosbelm@qq.com",
}
  • Similar declarations are grouped together, and the same applies to constant, variable, and type declarations.
// bad
import "a"
import "b"

//good
import (
   "a"
   "b"
)
  • Specify container capacity where possible to pre-allocate memory for the container, for example:
v := make(map[int]string, 4)
v := make([]string, 0, 4)
  • At the top level, use the standard var keyword. Do not specify a type unless it is different from the type of the expression.
// bad
var s string = F()

func F() string { return "A" }

// good
var s = F()
// Since F already explicitly returns a string type, we don't need to explicitly specify the type of _s
// still of that type

func F() string { return "A" }
  • Use _ as a prefix for unexported top-level constants and variables.
// bad
const (
   defaultHost = "127.0.0.1"
   defaultPort = 8080
)

// good
const (
   _defaultHost = "127.0.0.1"
   _defaultPort = 8080
)
  • Embedded types (such as mutexes) should be at the top of the field list within the struct, and there must be a blank line separating embedded fields from regular fields.
// bad
type Client struct {
   version int
   http.Client
}

//good
type Client struct {
   http.Client

   version int
}

1.3 Error Handling

  • error is returned as the value of the function, error must be handled, or the return value assigned to explicitly ignore. For defer xx.Close(), there is no need to explicitly handle it.
func load() error {
// normal code
}

// bad
load()

//good
  _ = load()
  • When error is returned as the value of a function and there are multiple return values, error must be the last parameter.
// bad
func load() (error, int) {
// normal code
}

//good
func load() (int, error) {
// normal code
}
  • Perform error handling as early as possible and return as early as possible to reduce nesting.
// bad
if err != nil {
// error code
} else {
// normal code
}

//good
if err != nil {
// error handling
return err
}
// normal code
  • If you need to use the result of the function call outside if, you should use the following method.
// bad
if v, err := foo(); err != nil {
// error handling
}

// good
v, err := foo()
if err != nil {
// error handling
}
  • Errors should be judged independently, not combined with other logic.
// bad
v, err := foo()
if err != nil || v == nil {
// error handling
return err
}

//good
v, err := foo()
if err != nil {
// error handling
return err
}

if v == nil {
// error handling
return errors. New("invalid value v")
}
  • If the return value needs to be initialized, use the following method.
v, err := f()
if err != nil {
     // error handling
     return // or continue.
}
  • Bug description suggestions
  • Error descriptions start with a lowercase letter and do not end with punctuation, for example:
// bad
errors.New("Redis connection failed")
errors.New("redis connection failed.")

// good
errors.New("redis connection failed")
  • Tell users what they can do, not what they can't.
  • When declaring a requirement, use must instead of should. For example, must be greater than 0, must match regex '[a-z]+'.
  • When declaring that a format is incorrect, use must not. For example, must not contain.
  • Use may not when declaring an action. For example, may not be specified when otherField is empty, only name may be specified.
  • When quoting a literal string value, indicate the literal in single quotes. For example, ust not contain '..'.
  • When referencing another field name, specify that name in backticks. For example, must be greater than request.
  • When specifying unequal, use words instead of symbols. For example, must be less than 256, must be greater than or equal to 0 (do not use larger than, bigger than, more than, higher than).
  • When specifying ranges of numbers, use inclusive ranges whenever possible.
  • Go 1.13 or above is recommended, and the error generation method is fmt.Errorf("module xxx: %w", err).

1.4 panic processing

  • Panic is prohibited in business logic processing.
  • In the main package, panic is only used when the program is completely inoperable, for example, the file cannot be opened, the database cannot be connected, and the program cannot run normally.
  • In the main package, use log.Fatal to record errors, so that the program can be terminated by the log, or the exception thrown by the panic can be recorded in the log file, which is convenient for troubleshooting.
  • An exportable interface must not panic.
  • It is recommended to use error instead of panic to convey errors in the package.

1.5 Unit Tests

  • The unit test filename naming convention is example_test.go.
  • Write a test case for every important exportable function.
  • Because the functions in the unit test file are not external, the exportable structures, functions, etc. can be uncommented.
  • If func (b *Bar) Foo exists, the single test function can be func TestBar_Foo.

1.6 Type assertion failure handling

  • A single return value from a type assertion will panic for an incorrect type. Always use the "comma ok" idiom.
// bad
t := n.(int)

//good
t, ok := n.(int)
if !ok {
// error handling
}

2. Naming convention

The naming convention is a very important part of the code specification. A uniform, short, and precise naming convention can greatly improve the readability of the code and avoid unnecessary bugs.

2.1 Package Naming

  • The package name must be consistent with the directory name, try to use a meaningful and short package name, and do not conflict with the standard library.
  • Package names are all lowercase, without uppercase or underscores, and use multi-level directories to divide the hierarchy.
  • Item names can connect multiple words with dashes.
  • Do not use plurals for the package name and the directory name where the package is located, for example, net/url instead of net/urls.
  • Don't use broad, meaningless package names like common, util, shared or lib.
  • The package name should be simple and clear, such as net, time, log.

2.2 Function Naming

  • The function name is in camel case, and the first letter is uppercase or lowercase according to the access control decision,For example: MixedCaps or mixedCaps.
  • Code automatically generated by code generation tools (such as xxxx.pb.go) and underscores used to group related test cases (such as TestMyFunction_WhatIsBeingTested) exclude this rule.

2.3 File Naming

  • Keep the filename short and meaningful.
  • Filenames should be lowercase and use underscores to separate words.

2.4 Structure Naming

  • The camel case is adopted, and the first letter is uppercase or lowercase according to the access control, such as MixedCaps or mixedCaps.
  • Struct names should not be verbs, but should be nouns, such as Node, NodeSpec.
  • Avoid using meaningless structure names such as Data and Info.
  • The declaration and initialization of the structure should take multiple lines, for example:
// User multi-line declaration
type User struct {
     name string
     Email string
}

// multi-line initialization
u := User{
     UserName: "belm",
     Email: "nosbelm@qq.com",
}

2.5 Interface Naming

  • The interface naming rules are basically consistent with the structure naming rules:
  • Interface names of individual functions suffixed with "er"" (e.g. Reader, Writer) can sometimes lead to broken English, but that's okay.
  • The interface name of the two functions is named after the two function names, eg ReadWriter.
  • An interface name for more than three functions, similar to a structure name.

For example:

// Seeking to an offset before the start of the file is an error.
// Seeking to any positive offset is legal, but the behavior of subsequent
// I/O operations on the underlying object are implementation-dependent.
type Seeker interface {
Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)
}

// ReadWriter is the interface that groups the basic Read and Write methods.
type ReadWriter interface {
reader
Writer
}

2.6 Variable Naming

  • Variable names must follow camel case, and the initial letter is uppercase or lowercase according to the access control decision.
  • In relatively simple (few objects, highly targeted) environments, some names can be abbreviated from full words to single letters, for example:
  • user can be abbreviated as u;
  • userID can be abbreviated as uid.
  • When using proper nouns, the following rules need to be followed:
  • If the variable is private and the proper noun is the first word, use lowercase, such as apiClient.
  • In other cases, the original wording of the noun should be used, such as APIClient, repoID, UserID.

Some common nouns are listed below.

// A GonicMapper that contains a list of common initialisms taken from golang/lint
var LintGonicMapper = GonicMapper{
     "API": true,
     "ASCII": true,
     "CPU": true,
     "CSS": true,
     "DNS": true,
     "EOF": true,
     "GUID": true,
     "HTML": true,
     "HTTP": true,
     "HTTPS": true,
     "ID": true,
     "IP": true,
     "JSON": true,
     "LHS": true,
     "QPS": true,
     "RAM": true,
     "RHS": true,
     "RPC": true,
     "SLA": true,
     "SMTP": true,
     "SSH": true,
     "TLS": true,
     "TTL": true,
     "UI": true,
     "UID": true,
     "UUID": true,
     "URI": true,
     "URL": true,
     "UTF8": true,
     "VM": true,
     "XML": true,
     "XSRF": true,
     "XSS": true,
}
  • If the variable type is bool, the name should start with Has, Is, Can or Allow, for example:
var has Conflict bool
var isExist bool
var can Manage bool
var allowGitHook bool
  • Local variables should be as short as possible, for example, use buf to refer to buffer, and use i to refer to index.
  • The code automatically generated by the code generation tool can exclude this rule (such as the Id in xxx.pb.go)

2.7 Constant naming

  • The constant name must follow the camel case, and the initial letter is uppercase or lowercase according to the access control decision.
  • If it is a constant of enumeration type, you need to create the corresponding type first:
// Code defines an error code type.
type Code int

// Internal errors.
const (
     // ErrUnknown - 0: An unknown error occurred.
     ErrUnknown Code = iota
     // ErrFatal - 1: An fatal error occurred.
     ErrFatal
)

2.8 Error naming

  • The Error type should be written in the form of FooError.
type ExitError struct {
// ....
}
  • The Error variable is written in the form of ErrFoo.
var ErrFormat = errors. New("unknown format")

3. Comment specification

  • Each exportable name must have a comment, which briefly introduces the exported variables, functions, structures, interfaces, etc.
  • All single-line comments are used, and multi-line comments are prohibited.
  • Same as the code specification, single-line comments should not be too long, and no more than 120 characters are allowed. If it exceeds, please use a new line to display, and try to keep the format elegant.
  • A comment must be a complete sentence, starting with the content to be commented and ending with a period, the format is // name description.. For example:
// bad
// logs the flags in the flagset.
func PrintFlags(flags *pflag. FlagSet) {
// normal code
}

//good
// PrintFlags logs the flags in the flagset.
func PrintFlags(flags *pflag. FlagSet) {
// normal code
}
  • All commented out code should be deleted before submitting code review, otherwise, it should explain why it is not deleted, and give follow-up processing suggestions.

  • Multiple comments can be separated by blank lines, as follows:

// Package superman implements methods for saving the world.
//
// Experience has shown that a small number of procedures can prove
// helpful when attempting to save the world.
package superman

3.1 Package Notes

  • Each package has one and only one package-level annotation.
  • Package comments are uniformly commented with // in the format of // Package <package name> package description, for example:
// Package genericclioptions contains flags which can be added to you command, bound, completed, and produce
// useful helper functions.
package genericclioptions

3.2 Variable/Constant Comments

  • Each variable/constant that can be exported must have a comment description, the format is // variable name variable description, for example:
// ErrSigningMethod defines invalid signing method error.
var ErrSigningMethod = errors. New("Invalid signing method")
  • When there is a large block of constant or variable definition, you can comment a general description in front, and then comment the definition of the constant in detail before or at the end of each line of constant, for example:
// Code must start with 1xxxxx.
const (
     // ErrSuccess - 200: OK.
     ErrSuccess int = iota + 100001

     // ErrUnknown - 500: Internal server error.
     ErrUnknown

     // ErrBind - 400: Error occurred while binding the request body to the struct.
     ErrBind

     // ErrValidation - 400: Validation failed.
     ErrValidation
)

3.3 Structure Annotation

  • Each structure or interface that needs to be exported must have a comment description, the format is // structure name structure description..
  • The name of the exportable member variable in the structure, if the meaning is not clear, a comment must be given and placed before the member variable or at the end of the same line. For example:
// User represents a user restful resource. It is also used as gorm model.
type User struct {
     // Standard object's metadata.
     metav1.ObjectMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty"`

     Nickname string `json:"nickname" gorm:"column:nickname"`
     Password string `json:"password" gorm:"column:password"`
     Email string `json:"email" gorm:"column:email"`
     Phone string `json:"phone" gorm:"column:phone"`
     IsAdmin int `json:"isAdmin,omitempty" gorm:"column:isAdmin"`
}

3.4 Method Notes

Each function or method that needs to be exported must have a comment, the format is // function name function description., for examplelike:

// BeforeUpdate run before update database record.
func (p *Policy) BeforeUpdate() (err error) {
// normal code
return nil
}

3.5 Type annotations

  • Each type definition and type alias that needs to be exported must have a comment description, the format is // type name type description., for example:
// Code defines an error code type.
type Code int

4. Type

4.1 Strings

  • Empty string judgment.
// bad
if s == "" {
     // normal code
}

//good
if len(s) == 0 {
     // normal code
}
  • []byte/string equality comparison.
// bad
var s1 []byte
var s2 []byte
...
bytes.Equal(s1, s2) == 0
bytes.Equal(s1, s2) != 0

//good
var s1 []byte
var s2 []byte
...
bytes. Compare(s1, s2) == 0
bytes. Compare(s1, s2) != 0
  • Complex strings use raw strings to avoid character escaping.
// bad
regexp.MustCompile("\\.")

//good
regexp.MustCompile(`\.`)

4.2 Slicing

  • Empty slice judgment.
// bad
if len(slice) = 0 {
     // normal code
}

//good
if slice != nil && len(slice) == 0 {
     // normal code
}

The above judgment also applies to map and channel.

  • Declare a slice.
// bad
s := []string{}
s := make([]string, 0)

//good
var s[]string
  • slice copy.
// bad
var b1, b2 []byte
for i, v := range b1 {
    b2[i] = v
}
for i := range b1 {
    b2[i] = b1[i]
}

//good
copy(b2, b1)
  • slice added.
// bad
var a, b []int
for _, v := range a {
     b = append(b, v)
}

//good
var a, b []int
b = append(b, a...)

4.3 Structure

  • struct initialization.

The struct is initialized in multi-line format.

type user struct {
Id int64
name string
}

u1 := user{100, "Colin"}

u2 := user{
     Id: 200,
     Name: "Lex",
}

5. Control Structure

5.1 if

  • if accepts the initialization statement, the convention is to create local variables in the following way.
if err := loadConfig(); err != nil {
// error handling
return err
}
  • if For variables of bool type, true and false judgments should be made directly.
var isAllow bool
if isAllow {
// normal code
}

5.2 for

  • Create local variables using short declarations.
sum := 0
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
     sum += 1
}
  • Don't use defer in for loop, defer will only be executed when the function exits.
// bad
for file := range files {
fd, err := os. Open(file)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer fd. Close()
// normal code
}

//good
for file := range files {
func() {
fd, err := os. Open(file)
if err != nil {
return err
}
defer fd. Close()
// normal code
}()
}

5.3 range

  • If only the first item (key) is needed, discard the second.
for keyIndex := range keys {
// normal code
}
  • If only the second item is required, underline the first item.
sum := 0
for _, value := range array {
     sum += value
}

5.4 switch

  • must have default.
switch os := runtime.GOOS; os {
     case "linux":
         fmt.Println("Linux.")
     case "darwin":
         fmt.Println("OS X.")
     default:
         fmt.Printf("%s.\n", os)
}

5.5 goto

  • Business code prohibits the use of goto.
  • Try not to use frameworks or other low-level source code.

6. Functions

  • Incoming variables and return variables start with a lowercase letter.
  • The number of function parameters cannot exceed 5.
  • Function grouping and ordering
  • Functions should be sorted in rough calling order.
  • Functions in the same file should be grouped by receiver.
  • Try to use value transfer instead of pointer transfer.
  • The incoming parameters are map, slice, chan, interface, do not pass pointers.

6.1 Function parameters

  • If the function returns two or three arguments of the same type, or if the meaning of the result is not clear from the context, use named returns, otherwise it is not recommended to use named returns, for example:
func coordinate() (x, y float64, err error) {
// normal code
}
  • Both incoming and returned variables start with a lowercase letter.
  • Try to pass by value instead of pointer.
  • The number of parameters cannot exceed 5.
  • Multiple return values can return up to three, and if there are more than three, please use struct.

6.2 defer

  • When resources are created, resources should be released immediately after defer (defer can be used boldly, the performance of defer is greatly improved in Go1.14 version, and the performance loss of defer can be ignored even in performance-sensitive businesses).
  • First judge whether there is an error, and then defer to release resources, for example:
rep, err := http. Get(url)
if err != nil {
     return err
}

defer resp.Body.Close()

6.3 Method Receiver

  • It is recommended to use the lowercase of the first English letter of the class name as the name of the receiver.
  • Don't use a single character in the name of the receiver when the function exceeds 20 lines.
  • The name of the receiver cannot use confusing names such as me, this, and self.

6.4 Nesting

  • The nesting depth cannot exceed 4 levels.

6.5 Variable Naming

  • The variable declaration should be placed before the first use of the variable as far as possible, following the principle of proximity.
  • If the magic number appears more than twice, it is forbidden to use it and use a constant instead, for example:
// PI...
const Price = 3.14

func getAppleCost(n float64) float64 {
return Price * n
}

func getOrangeCost(n float64) float64 {
return Price * n
}

7. GOPATH setting specification

  • After Go 1.11, the GOPATH rule has been weakened. Existing code (many libraries must have been created before 1.11) must conform to this rule. It is recommended to keep the GOPATH rule to facilitate code maintenance.
  • Only one GOPATH is recommended, multiple GOPATHs are not recommended. If multiple GOPATHs are used, the bin directory where compilation takes effect is under the first GOPATH.

8. Dependency Management

  • Go 1.11 and above must use Go Modules.
  • When using Go Modules as a dependency management project, it is not recommended to submit the vendor directory.
  • When using Go Modules as a dependency management project, the go.sum file must be submitted.

9. Best Practices

  • Minimize the use of global variables, but pass parameters, so that each function is "stateless". This reduces coupling and facilitates division of labor and unit testing.
  • Verify interface compliance at compile time, for example:
type LogHandler struct {
   h http.Handler
   log *zap. Logger
}
var_http.Handler = LogHandler{}
  • When the server processes a request, it should create a context, save the relevant information of the request (such as requestID), and pass it in the function call chain.

9.1 Performance

  • string represents an immutable string variable, modifying string is a relatively heavy operation, and basically needs to re-apply for memory. Therefore, if there is no special need, use []byte more when you need to modify.
  • Prefer strconv over fmt.

9.2 Precautions

  • append Be careful about automatically allocating memory, append may return a newly allocated address.
  • If you want to directly modify the value of the map, the value can only be a pointer, otherwise the original value must be overwritten.
  • map needs to be locked during concurrency.
  • The conversion of interface{} cannot be checked during compilation, it can only be checked at runtime, be careful to cause panic.
