A simple `helloworld` for Golang in VsCode.
# Golang the compiler
Download Golang [installer](https://go.dev/dl/). A least on Mac the installer shall be able to deal with [updating OS](https://gist.github.com/Linerre/f11ad4a6a934dcf01ee8415c9457e7b2) `PATH` environment variable with `$GOPATH/bin`.
## Debugger
```bash
go install -v github.com/go-delve/delve/cmd/dlv@latest
```
To install / update the goTools in VsCode:
Click `cmd`+`shift`+`p` and search for _Go: Install/Update tools_
# VsCode IDE
- Install [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com)
- `golang` extension
To launch *VS Code Quick Open* press (Ctrl + P), type: `ext install Go`, hit enter. Follow basic instructions.
# The Project
Inside `Visual Studio Code` Open Folder `Ctrl + Shift + E` , e.g.: `$USER\code\hello\`. Then Open `hello.go` from that folder. Or make new file (Ctrl + N) and save it on this folder:
```go
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello World!")
i := 101
fmt.Println(i)
}
```
Some useful hotkeys:
- `Ctrl + Shift + D` - Open Debugger
- `F9` - set or toggle Breakpoint. *Try this line `i := 101`*
- `F5` - Start Debugging or to Run the Application. If asked to select environment: select `Go`
- `F10` - Step Over
- `F11` - Step Into
- `Shift + F11` - Step Out
- `Shift + F5` - Stop Debugging
- `Ctrl + Shift + F5` - Restart Debugging
Typical aka untouched `launch.json`:
```json
{
"version": "0.2.0",
"configurations": [
{
"name": "Launch",
"type": "go",
"request": "launch",
"mode": "debug",
"remotePath": "",
"port": 2345,
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"program": "${workspaceRoot}",
"env": {},
"args": [],
"showLog": true
}
]
}
```
