Boolean Prefix (ARCH5007)

Key go.naming.boolean-prefix · Severity info · Category naming

Boolean-typed members and accessors should carry an interrogative prefix such as is/has/can/should, otherwise conditionals read poorly. The accurate form needs a type-aware mode.

Incorrect

type Account struct {
  Active  bool
  Premium bool
}

Correct

type Account struct {
  IsActive   bool
  HasPremium bool
}

Fix

Add an interrogative prefix like is/has/can/should to boolean fields.
