===============================================================================
Integration Information

The `gometalinter` linter is disabled by default. ALE enables `gofmt`,
`golint` and `go vet` by default. It also supports `staticcheck`, `go
build`,  `gosimple`, `golangserver`.

To enable `gometalinter`, update |g:ale_linters| as appropriate:
>
  " Enable all of the linters you want for Go.
  let g:ale_linters = {'go': ['gometalinter', 'gofmt']}
<
A possible configuration is to enable `gometalinter` and `gofmt` but paired
with the `--fast` option, set by |g:ale_go_gometalinter_options|. This gets you
the benefit of running a number of linters, more than ALE would by default,
while ensuring it doesn't run any linters known to be slow or resource
intensive.

`golangci-lint` is a `lint_file` linter, which only lints files that are
written to disk. This differs from the default behavior of linting the buffer.
See: |ale-lint-file|

g:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable           *g:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable*
                                            *b:ale_go_golangci_lint_executable*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'golangci-lint'`

  The executable that will be run for golangci-lint.

                                               *b:ale_go_golangci_lint_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'--enable-all'`

  This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
  golangci-lint invocation.

  Location of the go-langserver binary file.


g:ale_go_langserver_options                       *g:ale_go_langserver_options*
                                                  *b:ale_go_langserver_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  Additional options passed to the go-langserver command. Note that the
  `-gocodecompletion` option is ignored because it is handled automatically
  by the |g:ale_completion_enabled| variable.

gometalinter                                              *ale-go-gometalinter*

`gometalinter` is a `lint_file` linter, which only lints files that are
written to disk. This differs from the default behavior of linting the buffer.
See: |ale-lint-file|

g:ale_go_gometalinter_executable             *g:ale_go_gometalinter_executable*
                                             *b:ale_go_gometalinter_executable*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `'gometalinter'`

g:ale_go_gometalinter_options                   *g:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
                                                *b:ale_go_gometalinter_options*
  Type: |String|
  Default: `''`

  This variable can be changed to alter the command-line arguments to the
  gometalinter invocation.

  Since `gometalinter` runs a number of linters that can consume a lot of
  resources it's recommended to set this option to a value of `--fast` if you
  use `gometalinter` as one of the linters in |g:ale_linters|. This disables a
  number of linters known to be slow or consume a lot of resources.


g:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package         *g:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package*
                                           *b:ale_go_gometalinter_lint_package*
  Type: |Number|
  Default: `0`

  When set to `1`, the whole Go package will be checked instead of only the
  current file.
