Go tool to generate method stubs for implementing an interface. Faster alternative to impl/goimpl

imply (WIP)

A WIP Go tool to generate struct implementations from interfaces.

installation

go install github.com/gleek/imply@latest

usage

imply <file_name> [interface_name] [struct_name] [package_name]

interface_name struct_name and package_name are optional. If not provided, the tool will try to infer them from the file name.

alternatives

• impl
• goimpl

why another tool?

Both impl and goimpl are slow for me. I haven't looked into what would caused that slowness, but figured it would be easy enough to do this myself. Specially, if I give it the exact place to find the interface.

Also my primary goal was to use this from within Emacs, so that I can quickly generate the struct and move it to the correct place.

Note: this is an extremely rudimentary and experimental implementation and I'm not sure if it work for all the cases. Use with caution.
