Variables ¶
var ( // DefaultTagName is the default tag name for struct fields which provides // a more granular to tweak certain structs. Lookup the necessary functions // for more info. DefaultTagName = "structs" // struct's field default tag name )
Functions ¶
func HasZero ¶
func HasZero(s interface{}) bool
HasZero returns true if any field is equal to a zero value. For more info refer to Struct types HasZero() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
Example ¶
// Let's define an Access struct. Note that the "Enabled" field is not // going to be checked because we added the "structs" tag to the field. type Access struct { Name string LastAccessed time.Time Number int Enabled bool `structs:"-"` } // Name and Number is not initialized. a := &Access{ LastAccessed: time.Now(), } hasZeroA := HasZero(a) // Name and Number is initialized. b := &Access{ Name: "Fatih", LastAccessed: time.Now(), Number: 12345, } hasZeroB := HasZero(b) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", hasZeroA) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", hasZeroB)
Output: true false
func IsStruct ¶
func IsStruct(s interface{}) bool
IsStruct returns true if the given variable is a struct or a pointer to struct.
func IsZero ¶
func IsZero(s interface{}) bool
IsZero returns true if all fields is equal to a zero value. For more info refer to Struct types IsZero() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
Example ¶
type Server struct { Name string ID int32 Enabled bool } // Nothing is initalized a := &Server{} isZeroA := IsZero(a) // Name and Enabled is initialized, but not ID b := &Server{ Name: "Golang", Enabled: true, } isZeroB := IsZero(b) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", isZeroA) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", isZeroB)
Output: true false
func Map ¶
func Map(s interface{}) map[string]interface{}
Map converts the given struct to a map[string]interface{}. For more info refer to Struct types Map() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
Example ¶
type Server struct { Name string ID int32 Enabled bool } s := &Server{ Name: "Arslan", ID: 123456, Enabled: true, } m := Map(s) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["Name"]) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["ID"]) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["Enabled"])
Output: "Arslan" 123456 true
Example (Nested) ¶
// By default field with struct types are processed too. We can stop // processing them via "omitnested" tag option. type Server struct { Name string `structs:"server_name"` ID int32 `structs:"server_id"` Time time.Time `structs:"time,omitnested"` // do not convert to map[string]interface{} } const shortForm = "2006-Jan-02" t, _ := time.Parse("2006-Jan-02", "2013-Feb-03") s := &Server{ Name: "Zeynep", ID: 789012, Time: t, } m := Map(s) // access them by the custom tags defined above fmt.Printf("%v\n", m["server_name"]) fmt.Printf("%v\n", m["server_id"]) fmt.Printf("%v\n", m["time"].(time.Time))
Output: Zeynep 789012 2013-02-03 00:00:00 +0000 UTC
Example (OmitEmpty) ¶
// By default field with struct types of zero values are processed too. We // can stop processing them via "omitempty" tag option. type Server struct { Name string `structs:",omitempty"` ID int32 `structs:"server_id,omitempty"` Location string } // Only add location s := &Server{ Location: "Tokyo", } m := Map(s) // map contains only the Location field fmt.Printf("%v\n", m)
Output: map[Location:Tokyo]
Example (Tags) ¶
// Custom tags can change the map keys instead of using the fields name type Server struct { Name string `structs:"server_name"` ID int32 `structs:"server_id"` Enabled bool `structs:"enabled"` } s := &Server{ Name: "Zeynep", ID: 789012, } m := Map(s) // access them by the custom tags defined above fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["server_name"]) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["server_id"]) fmt.Printf("%#v\n", m["enabled"])
Output: "Zeynep" 789012 false
func Name ¶
func Name(s interface{}) string
Name returns the structs's type name within its package. It returns an empty string for unnamed types. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func Names ¶
func Names(s interface{}) []string
Names returns a slice of field names. For more info refer to Struct types Names() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func Values ¶
func Values(s interface{}) []interface{}
Values converts the given struct to a []interface{}. For more info refer to Struct types Values() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.

Output: Values: [Fatih 135790 false]
Example (OmitEmpty) ¶
// By default field with struct types of zero values are processed too. We // can stop processing them via "omitempty" tag option. type Server struct { Name string `structs:",omitempty"` ID int32 `structs:"server_id,omitempty"` Location string } // Only add location s := &Server{ Location: "Ankara", } m := Values(s) // values contains only the Location field fmt.Printf("Values: %+v\n", m)
Output: Values: [Ankara]
Example (Tags) ¶
type Location struct { City string Country string } type Server struct { Name string ID int32 Enabled bool Location Location `structs:"-"` // values from location are not included anymore } s := &Server{ Name: "Fatih", ID: 135790, Enabled: false, Location: Location{City: "Ankara", Country: "Turkey"}, } // Let get all values from the struct s. Note that we don't include values // from the Location field m := Values(s) fmt.Printf("Values: %+v\n", m)
Output: Values: [Fatih 135790 false]
Types ¶
type Field ¶
type Field struct {
// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Field represents a single struct field that encapsulates high level functions around the field.
Example ¶
type Person struct { Name string Number int } type Access struct { Person Person HasPermission bool LastAccessed time.Time } access := &Access{ Person: Person{Name: "fatih", Number: 1234567}, LastAccessed: time.Now(), HasPermission: true, } // Create a new Struct type s := New(access) // Get the Field type for "Person" field p := s.Field("Person") // Get the underlying "Name field" and print the value of it name := p.Field("Name") fmt.Printf("Value of Person.Access.Name: %+v\n", name.Value())
Output: Value of Person.Access.Name: fatih
func Fields ¶
func Fields(s interface{}) []*Field
Fields returns a slice of *Field. For more info refer to Struct types Fields() method. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
Example ¶
type Access struct { Name string LastAccessed time.Time Number int } s := &Access{ Name: "Fatih", LastAccessed: time.Now(), Number: 1234567, } fields := Fields(s) for i, field := range fields { fmt.Printf("[%d] %+v\n", i, field.Name()) }
Output: [0] Name [1] LastAccessed [2] Number
Example (Nested) ¶
type Person struct { Name string Number int } type Access struct { Person Person HasPermission bool LastAccessed time.Time } s := &Access{ Person: Person{Name: "fatih", Number: 1234567}, LastAccessed: time.Now(), HasPermission: true, } // Let's get all fields from the struct s. fields := Fields(s) for _, field := range fields { if field.Name() == "Person" { fmt.Printf("Access.Person.Name: %+v\n", field.Field("Name").Value()) } }
Output: Access.Person.Name: fatih
func (*Field) Field ¶
Field returns the field from a nested struct. It panics if the nested struct is not exported or if the field was not found.
func (*Field) FieldOk ¶
Field returns the field from a nested struct. The boolean returns true if the field was found. It panics if the nested struct is not exported or if the field was not found.
func (*Field) Fields ¶
Fields returns a slice of Fields. This is particular handy to get the fields of a nested struct . A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the checking of that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field *http.Request `structs:"-"`
It panics if field is not exported or if field's kind is not struct
func (*Field) IsEmbedded ¶
IsEmbedded returns true if the given field is an anonymous field (embedded)
func (*Field) IsExported ¶
IsExported returns true if the given field is exported.
func (*Field) IsZero ¶
IsZero returns true if the given field is not initialized (has a zero value). It panics if the field is not exported.
func (*Field) Set ¶
Set sets the field to given value v. It retuns an error if the field is not settable (not addressable or not exported) or if the given value's type doesn't match the fields type.
func (*Field) Tag ¶
Tag returns the value associated with key in the tag string. If there is no such key in the tag, Tag returns the empty string.
type Struct ¶
type Struct struct { TagName string // contains filtered or unexported fields }
Struct encapsulates a struct type to provide several high level functions around the struct.
func New ¶
func New(s interface{}) *Struct
New returns a new *Struct with the struct s. It panics if the s's kind is not struct.
Example ¶
type Server struct { Name string ID int32 Enabled bool } server := &Server{ Name: "Arslan", ID: 123456, Enabled: true, } s := New(server) fmt.Printf("Name : %v\n", s.Name()) fmt.Printf("Values : %v\n", s.Values()) fmt.Printf("Value of ID : %v\n", s.Field("ID").Value())
Output: Name : Server Values : [Arslan 123456 true] Value of ID : 123456
func (*Struct) Field ¶
Field returns a new Field struct that provides several high level functions around a single struct field entity. It panics if the field is not found.
func (*Struct) FieldOk ¶
Field returns a new Field struct that provides several high level functions around a single struct field entity. The boolean returns true if the field was found.
func (*Struct) Fields ¶
Fields returns a slice of Fields. A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the checking of that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field bool `structs:"-"`
It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func (*Struct) HasZero ¶
HasZero returns true if a field in a struct is not initialized (zero value). A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the checking of that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field bool `structs:"-"`
A value with the option of "omitnested" stops iterating further if the type is a struct. Example:
// Field is not processed further by this package. Field time.Time `structs:"myName,omitnested"` Field *http.Request `structs:",omitnested"`
Note that only exported fields of a struct can be accessed, non exported fields will be neglected. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func (*Struct) IsZero ¶
IsZero returns true if all fields in a struct is a zero value (not initialized) A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the checking of that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field bool `structs:"-"`
A value with the option of "omitnested" stops iterating further if the type is a struct. Example:
// Field is not processed further by this package. Field time.Time `structs:"myName,omitnested"` Field *http.Request `structs:",omitnested"`
Note that only exported fields of a struct can be accessed, non exported fields will be neglected. It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func (*Struct) Map ¶
Map converts the given struct to a map[string]interface{}, where the keys of the map are the field names and the values of the map the associated values of the fields. The default key string is the struct field name but can be changed in the struct field's tag value. The "structs" key in the struct's field tag value is the key name. Example:
// Field appears in map as key "myName". Name string `structs:"myName"`
A tag value with the content of "-" ignores that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field bool `structs:"-"`
A tag value with the content of "string" uses the stringer to get the value. Example:
// The value will be output of Animal's String() func. // Map will panic if Animal does not implement String(). Field *Animal `structs:"field,string"`
A tag value with the option of "omitnested" stops iterating further if the type is a struct. Example:
// Field is not processed further by this package. Field time.Time `structs:"myName,omitnested"` Field *http.Request `structs:",omitnested"`
A tag value with the option of "omitempty" ignores that particular field if the field value is empty. Example:
// Field appears in map as key "myName", but the field is // skipped if empty. Field string `structs:"myName,omitempty"` // Field appears in map as key "Field" (the default), but // the field is skipped if empty. Field string `structs:",omitempty"`
Note that only exported fields of a struct can be accessed, non exported fields will be neglected.
func (*Struct) Name ¶
Name returns the structs's type name within its package. For more info refer to Name() function.
func (*Struct) Names ¶
Names returns a slice of field names. A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the checking of that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field bool `structs:"-"`
It panics if s's kind is not struct.
func (*Struct) Values ¶
func (s *Struct) Values() []interface{}
Values converts the given s struct's field values to a []interface{}. A struct tag with the content of "-" ignores the that particular field. Example:
// Field is ignored by this package. Field int `structs:"-"`
A value with the option of "omitnested" stops iterating further if the type is a struct. Example:
// Fields is not processed further by this package. Field time.Time `structs:",omitnested"` Field *http.Request `structs:",omitnested"`
A tag value with the option of "omitempty" ignores that particular field and is not added to the values if the field value is empty. Example:
// Field is skipped if empty Field string `structs:",omitempty"`
Note that only exported fields of a struct can be accessed, non exported fields will be neglected.
