Variables are written in `camelCase` and should clearly state what they contain, preferably with no abbreviations. Common short names like `id` and `url` are allowed.
Iterator variables in loops are an exception to this rule and can be 1-letter, non-significant variable names, usually `i` and `j`.

## Private fields at the end
## Types at the top
`type` definitions should be placed at the very top of your files. Variables, constants, interface implementation assertions and the `package` statement are the only constructs allowed above `type` definitions.

## Package names
Package names should be short lowercase identifiers and tests should be written using the black box pattern. Black box testing can be enabled by adding the suffix `_test` to the package names in `*_test.go` files. It will enable you to test your library like it would be used by another developer, without internal access to private variables.

## Use gofmt
Your IDE should automatically call `gofmt` to format your code every time you save the file.
## Code editor
It is highly recommended to use [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) as it has an excellent Go plugin and the repository includes workspace settings to get you started quickly.
