重新对齐代码以提高可读性

Question

I have some code that looks like

Id string // uniq bid req id provided by the exchange
Fields []interface{} // array of field objects
User interface{} // user obj
Device interface{}

I know about the align-regexp function, and I use this to align my comments. This would output something like

Id string            // uniq bid req id provided by the exchange
Fields []interface{} // array of field objects
User interface{}     // user obj
Device interface{}

However, I would also like the types to be aligned properly. I was trying to figure out how I would be able to use align-regexp in order to accomplish this. Unfortunately, my regex skills are lacking.

I would like the output to look like

Id     string        // uniq bid req id provided by the exchange
Fields []interface{} // array of field objects
User   interface{}   // user obj
Device interface{}

I wouldn't mind if this was two separate function calls, as I could just write a function that could encapsulate them.

Also, I don't care if the solution ends up using align-regexp. This is just what I have been using for things like this thus far.

Answer 1

It's maybe simpler than you think.

Are your types always one word ? Then you can use a space as the first regexp, and then align on the //. It does work with this example :)
