Golint: fix golint warnings in merkledag submodule #4665

hsanjuan · 2018-02-06T16:08:25Z

This fixes all golint warnings in merkledag (except in protobuf generated code).

Main change of note is that NewDAGService returns an ipld.DAGService and not a non-exported dagService.

merkledag/merkledag.go

 // NewDAGService constructs a new DAGService (using the default implementation).
-func NewDAGService(bs bserv.BlockService) *dagService {


Does golint really complain about this?

I actually prefer to return concrete types whenever possible. It helps to deal with multiple potentially fulfilled interfaces. For example, if *dagService implements X which is a superset of DAGService, I can pass NewDAGService to something that wants an X without extra type assertions.

Want me to export dagService instead?

+	offlineDS := NewDAGService(bs).(ipld.LinkGetter)


This is exactly the case for having NewDAGService return the concrete type.

But it is a case only used in tests (and tests in the same module). From an external user's point of view, it's not possible to know what *dagService can do because it's unexported.

Thank you!!

Everything except the DAGService return type LGTM... If golint really complains about that it makes me a tad bit sad.

I agree and I want to emphasis that we don't have to follow all off golints suggestions. If this will cause codeclimate to complain we should add exception.

It does this for a (possibly debatable) reason. The lint disallows returning unexported types because they can't be named outside the package.

Ok, I have reverted to what it was before and get the expected:

merkledag.go:33:43: exported func NewDAGService returns unexported type *merkledag.dagService, which can be annoying to use

If it is valuable that this is used as a LinkGetter (which is not except in tests), I would lean to exporting it though. The user won't have a clue that this returns a LinkGetter without looking at sources otherwise. It's a nuance anyway, I'm fine with whatever.

I find this description confusing, rather than say "an error" something like "returns ErrorService.Err" or maybe just "returns the error" rather than "an error".

I would export this type.

It has no use outside. If someone ever has a use, it can be exported then.

Yeah, your right. Sorry.

FYI,

In general, users shouldn't care if something is a LinkGetter. They should just call ipld.GetLinks(ctx, dag, cid) which will, internally, try to cast dag to a LinkGetter if the passed dag implements that interface.

One import nit. Otherwise, LGTM. ❤️
