File nesting dialog

Last modified: 19 March 2022

Open the dialog: Project tool window | Icons general gear plain | File Nesting…

Use this dialog to configure presentation of files with the same names but different suffixes.

GoLand can present such file bunches as plain structures or show parent files as folders (nests) with their child files inside.

GoLand provides a set of predefined rules for file nesting. You can edit these rules as well as define your own custom ones. To configure file nesting, specify the suffixes of parent files and the suffixes of the child files.

tip

Note that the nesting rules are applied only to files with the same names within the same directory.

If the names of two files match a pattern but the files are stored in different directories, GoLand does not visually "move" any of them.

Description

Show files with the same names as nested

  • When the checkbox is selected, GoLand recognizes child files based on the patterns from the list and shows them grouped under the corresponding parents. Compare the presentation of the above TypeScript example with file nesting enabled

    A typescript file leftpad.ts with a compiled JavaScript file leftpad.js and a generated source map file leftpad.js.map shown as a nest

  • When the checkbox is cleared, GoLand shows parents and children at the same level.
