Unexported return type of the exported function
Reports exported functions with unexported return types.
Unexported types can be difficult to use when viewing documentation under go doc.
Example:
type hidden struct{}
func Exported() hidden { // Exported function with the `hidden` unexported return type
return hidden{}
}
You can apply Export quick-fix to export the type. After the quick-fix is applied, type name will be capitalized:
type Hidden struct{}
func Exported() Hidden { // Fixed
return Hidden{}
}
