File Style

Overview

goctl generation supports formatting of files and folders by naming styles that meet the normal reading habits of different developers, although in Golang, folders and filename instructions are recommended to use a full lowercase style, refer to Go Style.

Formatting symbols

In goctl code generated, the naming style of the files and folders can be formatted by go and zero compart-formatted symbols, such as common styled symbols below:

  • lowercase: gozero
  • camelcase: goZero
  • snakecase: go_zero
