Golang : Shortening import identifier
In Golang, we often import external packages from third party sources and ended with import statement that look like this example :
import (
"bytes"
"github.com/somelongname/verylongnamepackage"
"fmt"
"github.com/disintegration/imaging"
"image"
)
now, if you don't want to type in the verylongnamepackage
each time you want to call a function in it. You can shorten the verylongnamepackage
.
just change to
import (
"bytes"
vlongname "github.com/somelongname/verylongnamepackage"
"fmt"
IG "github.com/disintegration/imaging"
"image"
)
and then instead of verylongnamepackage.SomeFunction()
, you just invoke it by vlongname.SomeFunction()
.
