A lightweight Neovim plugin to manage struct field tags in Go source files.

✅ Features:

• Add new tags (json, xml, etc.) interactively
• Convert field names to snake_case
• Preserve existing tags
• Skip unexported (private) fields by default
• Remove specific tags or all tags from selected lines
• Visual mode support for multi-line editing

{
  "romus204/go-tagger.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("go_tagger").setup({
      skip_private = true, -- Skip unexported fields (starting with lowercase)
    })
  end,
}

use {
  "romus204/go-tagger.nvim",
  config = function()
    require("go_tagger").setup()
  end,
}

require("go_tagger").setup({
  skip_private = true -- default: true
})

You can use the plugin in visual mode to tag or untag multiple lines at once. Just select the fields and run one of the available commands.

Adds tags to selected struct fields.

• Works in visual mode over one or more lines.
• Prompts you to enter tag names, separated by commas (e.g., json,xml).
• Ignores unexported fields if skip_private = true.

:AddGoTags

You’ll be prompted:

tag(s): json,xml

Resulting output:

ID   int    `json:"id" xml:"id"`
Name string `json:"name" xml:"name"`

Removes tags from selected struct fields.

• Works in visual mode over one or more lines.
• Prompts you to enter a tag name to remove (e.g., json).
• Leave input blank to remove all tags.

:RemoveGoTags

Prompt:

tag: json

Result:

ID   int    `xml:"id"`
Name string `xml:"name"`

vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>at", ":AddGoTags<CR>", { desc = "Add Go struct tags", silent = true })
vim.keymap.set("v", "<leader>rt", ":RemoveGoTags<CR>", { desc = "Remove Go struct tags", silent = true })

• adding other types of writing besides the snake case and configuring them via config
• more flexible config settings for different tags
