The problem
Writing Go struct tags by hand means recalling exact key names and option syntax across json, gorm, validate, and other libraries, with no editor help and easy-to-miss typos.
Approach
Built a VS Code extension in TypeScript that parses Go struct definitions and offers autocompletion and inline documentation for struct tags, covering the most commonly used tag libraries in the Go ecosystem.
Outcome
Published on the Visual Studio Code Marketplace and in active use by Go developers.
