Google Go Style Guide
Official Google Go coding standards for idiomatic, maintainable code.
Golden Rules
- Run `gofmt` before commit — formatting is non-negotiable
- Short variable names in small scopes —
i,err,ctx - Error handling, not exceptions — check every error
- Interfaces for abstraction — accept interfaces, return structs
- Defer for cleanup — ensure resources are released
- Explicit is better — avoid magic, prefer clarity
- Package names: lowercase, single word — no underscores
Quick Reference
Naming Conventions
| Element | Convention | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Packages | lowercase | package user |
| Files | lowercase_underscore | user_service.go |
| Types | UpperCamelCase | UserService |
| Functions/Methods | UpperCamelCase (exported) | GetUser |
| Functions/Methods | lowerCamelCase (unexported) | getUserByID |
| Variables | lowerCamelCase | userCount |
| Constants | UpperCamelCase or UPPER_SNAKE | MaxRetries |
| Interfaces | UpperCamelCase + -er suffix | Reader, Writer |
Variables
go
// ✓ CORRECT - short names in small scopes
for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
// ...
}
// ✓ CORRECT - descriptive names in larger scopes
func ProcessUserData(userRepository UserRepository) error {
// ...
}
// ✗ INCORRECT - unnecessarily long
for index := 0; index < 10; index++ {
// ...
}Error Handling
go
// ✓ CORRECT - check every error
user, err := getUser(id)
if err != nil {
return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to get user: %w", err)
}
// ✗ INCORRECT - ignoring errors
user, _ := getUser(id)Functions
go
// ✓ CORRECT - multiple return values
func GetUser(id int) (*User, error) {
// ...
}
// ✓ CORRECT - named return values for clarity
func ParseConfig(path string) (cfg *Config, err error) {
// ...
}Interfaces
go
// ✓ CORRECT - small, focused interfaces
type Reader interface {
Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)
}
// ✓ CORRECT - accept interfaces, return structs
func ProcessData(r Reader) (*Result, error) {
// ...
}Defer
go
// ✓ CORRECT - defer for cleanup
func ReadFile(path string) ([]byte, error) {
f, err := os.Open(path)
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}
defer f.Close()
return io.ReadAll(f)
}Goroutines and Channels
go
// ✓ CORRECT - use context for cancellation
func ProcessItems(ctx context.Context, items []Item) error {
for _, item := range items {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
return ctx.Err()
default:
if err := process(item); err != nil {
return err
}
}
}
return nil
}
// ✓ CORRECT - buffered channels when appropriate
results := make(chan Result, len(items))Package Organization
go
// ✓ CORRECT - package comment
// Package user provides user management functionality.
package user
// ✓ CORRECT - group imports
import (
"context"
"fmt"
"github.com/pkg/errors"
"myapp/internal/db"
)Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Correct Approach |
|---|---|
| Ignoring errors | Check every error |
| Long variable names in loops | Use short names (i, j) |
| Panic for normal errors | Return errors |
| Naked returns | Use explicit returns |
| Not running gofmt | Always format code |
| Underscores in package names | Use single lowercase word |
