A linter to enforce importing certain packages consistently. ## What is this for? Ideally, go imports should avoid aliasing. Sometimes though, especially with Kubernetes API code, it becomes unavoidable, because many packages are imported as e.g. "[package]/v1alpha1" and you end up with lots of collisions if you use "v1alpha1". This linter lets you enforce that whenever (for example) "pkg/apis/serving/v1alpha1" is aliased, it is aliased as "servingv1alpha1". ## Usage ~~~~ importas \ -alias knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/autoscaling/v1alpha1:autoscalingv1alpha1 \ -alias knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/serving/v1:servingv1 \ ./... ~~~~ ### `-no-unaliased` option By default, importas allows non-aliased imports, even when the package is specified by `-alias` flag. With `-no-unaliased` option, importas does not allow this. ~~~~ importas -no-unaliased \ -alias knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/autoscaling/v1alpha1:autoscalingv1alpha1 \ -alias knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/serving/v1:servingv1 \ ./... ~~~~ ### Use regular expression You can specify the package path by regular expression, and alias by regular expression replacement syntax like following snippet. ~~~~ importas -alias 'knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/(\w+)/(v[\w\d]+):$1$2' ~~~~ `$1` represents the text of the first submatch. See [detail](https://golang.org/pkg/regexp/#Regexp.Expand). So it will enforce that "knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/autoscaling/v1alpha1" is aliased by "autoscalingv1alpha1", and "knative.dev/serving/pkg/apis/serving/v1" is aliased by "servingv1"
