import-layers-go

import-layers-go is a golang checker to enforce abstraction layers so that they don't mix up, and you can create coherent layered architecture

in other words - check that higher layer packages do not depend on lower layer packages (dependency rule from clean architecture)

example

config

{
    "layers": [
        "high",
        "low",
    ]
}

go

package high

import (
    "low" // returns error: `cannot import package from lower layer`
)

running in your repo

download bin from releases and place it in analyzers for example
run

./analyzers/import-layers-go ./...
