## Working with generic code
Gopls has beta support for editing generic Go code, as defined by the type
parameters proposal ([golang/go#43651](https://golang.org/issues/43651)) and
type set addendum ([golang/go#45346](https://golang.org/issues/45346)).
To enable this support, you need to **build gopls with a version of Go that
supports generics**. The easiest way to do this is by installing the Go 1.18 Beta
as described at
[Tutorial: Getting started with generics#prerequisites](https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/generics),
and then using this Go version to build gopls:
Gopls has support for editing generic Go code. To enable this support, you need
to **install gopls using Go 1.18 or later**. The easiest way to do this is by
[installing Go 1.18+](https://go.dev/dl) and then using this Go version to
install gopls:
```
$ go1.18beta2 install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest
```
When using the Go 1.18, it is strongly recommended that you install the latest
version of `gopls`, or the latest **unstable** version as
[described above](#installing-unreleased-versions).
It is strongly recommended that you install the latest version of `gopls`, or
the latest **unstable** version as [described above](#installing-unreleased-versions).
We're still working on improving our generics support.
You also need to make `gopls` select the beta version of `go` (in `<GOROOT>/go/bin`
where GOROOT is the location reported by `go1.18beta2 env GOROOT`) by adding
it to your `PATH` or by configuring your editor.
The `gopls` built with these instructions understands generic code. To actually
run the generic code you develop, you must also use the beta version of the Go
compiler. For example:
```
$ go1.18beta2 run .
```
The `gopls` built with these instructions understands generic code. See the
[generics tutorial](https://go.dev/doc/tutorial/generics) for more information
on how to use generics in Go!
### Known issues
* [`staticcheck`](https://github.com/golang/tools/blob/master/gopls/doc/settings.md#staticcheck-bool)
on generic code is not supported yet.
please follow the [v0.8.0](https://github.com/golang/go/milestone/244) milestone
to see the list of go1.18-related known issues and our progress.
