It doesn't really change anything in most of the cases, but it's a useful habit anyway. Fix #350.

# Conventions
|

|
When submitting a new convention, please open an issue for discussion, if possible please highlight parts in the code where this convention could help the code readiblity or simplicity.

## Avoid Named return paramters
|
|
|
|
|
|
func example(test int) (num int) {
|
|
a = test + 1
|
|
num = a * test
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
In the above function we have used a named return paramter, which allows you to include a simple return statement without the variables you are returning. This practice can cause confusion when functions become large or the logic becomes complex, so these should be avoided.
|
|
|
|
## Use error wrapping
|
|
|
|
Bad:
|
|
```
|
|
err = SomeAPI()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("something bad happened: %v", err)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Good:
|
|
```
|
|
err = SomeAPI()
|
|
if err != nil {
|
|
return fmt.Errorf("something bad happened: %w", err)
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Error wrapping allows `errors.Is` and `errors.As` usage in upper layer
|
|
functions which might be useful.
