!!! Tools

There are several tools to help though.

!! Spew

https://github.com/davecgh/go-spew

Add this import line to the file you're working in:

%%prettify

{{{import "github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew"
}}}

/%

To dump a variable with full newlines, indentation, type, and pointer information use Dump, Fdump, or Sdump:

%%prettify

{{{spew.Dump(myVar1, myVar2, ...)
spew.Fdump(someWriter, myVar1, myVar2, ...)
str := spew.Sdump(myVar1, myVar2, ...)
}}}

/%

!! Delve
