How to set up golang in vscode

In daily development, golang has become a very popular programming language. At the same time, during the development process of golang, an editor that can provide a good development environment is often needed. Among them, VSCode is a very excellent editor that supports rich plug-ins and functions and can efficiently support golang development. This article will introduce how to set up the golang development environment in VSCode.

1. Install golang development environment

Before setting up VSCode, we need to install the golang development environment. You can download the corresponding installation package from the official website (https://golang.org/dl/) and install it. After the installation is complete, check whether the environment is installed successfully by entering the "go version" command in the terminal.

2. Install the VSCode editor

If you have not installed the VSCode editor, you can download the corresponding version of the editor from the official website (https://code.visualstudio.com/) and install it .

3. Install the golang plug-in

After installing VSCode, we need to install the golang plug-in in the editor. Open VSCode, click the "Extensions" option in the left menu, enter "golang" in the search box, and you can find the corresponding plug-in installation. Click Install and wait for the installation to complete.

4. Configure environment variables

After completing the plug-in installation, we need to configure the golang environment variables. In the Windows system, open System Properties -> Advanced System Settings, click Environment Variables, find the Path option in the system variables, click Edit, and add the golang installation path in the pop-up window, such as C:\go\bin. Click OK to save the configuration.

5. Create a golang project

By opening a project in VSCode, we can start creating a golang project. Click the "File" option in the left menu, select "New Folder", name it "hello-world", and create a file named "main.go" in the folder with the following content:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("hello,world")
}

6. Run the golang program

After saving the code, we can run this code through the terminal. Go to the "hello-world" folder in the terminal and use the "go run main.go" command to run the code. You can see the output of "hello, world" in the terminal.

7. Debugging golang programs

In VSCode, we can also use debugging tools to debug golang programs. First, put a breakpoint in the code, then click the debug button (debug icon in the left menu bar), select the golang environment in the pop-up debugging panel, and click the "Run" button to start the debug mode for the golang program. Debugged.

To sum up, by installing the golang plug-in and configuring the corresponding environment variables in VSCode, we can easily develop golang programs and use debugging tools for program debugging. The excellent editing experience, plug-in support and debugging tools provided by VSCode provide golang programmers with a good development environment and promote the application process of golang in the development field.
