Overview

Package reflect implements run-time reflection, allowing a program to manipulate objects with arbitrary types. The typical use is to take a value with static type interface{} and extract its dynamic type information by calling TypeOf, which returns a Type.

A call to ValueOf returns a Value representing the run-time data. Zero takes a Type and returns a Value representing a zero value for that type.

See "The Laws of Reflection" for an introduction to reflection in Go: https://golang.org/doc/articles/laws_of_reflection.html

Types

type ChanDir

type ChanDir int

ChanDir represents a channel type's direction.

const (
	RecvDir ChanDir             = 1 << iota // <-chan
	SendDir                                 // chan<-
	BothDir = RecvDir | SendDir             // chan
)

func (ChanDir) String

func (d ChanDir) String() string

type Kind

type Kind uint

A Kind represents the specific kind of type that a Type represents. The zero Kind is not a valid kind.

const (
	Invalid Kind = iota
	Bool
	Int
	Int8
	Int16
	Int32
	Int64
	Uint
	Uint8
	Uint16
	Uint32
	Uint64
	Uintptr
	Float32
	Float64
	Complex64
	Complex128
	Array
	Chan
	Func
	Interface
	Map
	Pointer
	Slice
	String
	Struct
	UnsafePointer
)

func (Kind) String

func (k Kind) String() string

String returns the name of k.

type MapIter

type MapIter struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A MapIter is an iterator for ranging over a map. See Value.MapRange.

func (*MapIter) Key

func (iter *MapIter) Key() Value

Key returns the key of iter's current map entry.

func (*MapIter) Next

func (iter *MapIter) Next() bool

Next advances the map iterator and reports whether there is another entry. It returns false when iter is exhausted; subsequent calls to Key, Value, or Next will panic.

func (*MapIter) Reset

func (iter *MapIter) Reset(v Value)

Reset modifies iter to iterate over v. It panics if v's Kind is not Map and v is not the zero Value. Reset(Value{}) causes iter to not to refer to interface{} map, which may allow the previously iterated-over map to be garbage collected.

func (*MapIter) Value

func (iter *MapIter) Value() Value

Value returns the value of iter's current map entry.

type Method

type Method struct {
	// Name is the method name.
	Name string

	// PkgPath is the package path that qualifies a lower case (unexported)
	// method name. It is empty for upper case (exported) method names.
	// The combination of PkgPath and Name uniquely identifies a method
	// in a method set.
	// See https://golang.org/ref/spec#Uniqueness_of_identifiers
	PkgPath string

	Type  Type  // method type
	Func  Value // func with receiver as first argument
	Index int   // index for Type.Method
}

Method represents a single method.

func (Method) IsExported

func (m Method) IsExported() bool

IsExported reports whether the method is exported.

type SliceHeader

type SliceHeader struct {
	Data uintptr
	Len  int
	Cap  int
}

SliceHeader is the runtime representation of a slice. It cannot be used safely or portably and its representation may change in a later release. Moreover, the Data field is not sufficient to guarantee the data it references will not be garbage collected, so programs must keep a separate, correctly typed pointer to the underlying data.

type StringHeader

type StringHeader struct {
	Data uintptr
	Len  int
}

StringHeader is the runtime representation of a string. It cannot be used safely or portably and its representation may change in a later release. Moreover, the Data field is not sufficient to guarantee the data it references will not be garbage collected, so programs must keep a separate, correctly typed pointer to the underlying data.

type StructField

type StructField struct {
	// Name is the field name.
	Name string

	// PkgPath is the package path that qualifies a lower case (unexported)
	// field name. It is empty for upper case (exported) field names.
	// See https://golang.org/ref/spec#Uniqueness_of_identifiers
	PkgPath string

	Type      Type      // field type
	Tag       StructTag // field tag string
	Offset    uintptr   // offset within struct, in bytes
	Index     []int     // index sequence for Type.FieldByIndex
	Anonymous bool      // is an embedded field
}

A StructField describes a single field in a struct.

func (StructField) IsExported

func (f StructField) IsExported() bool

IsExported reports whether the field is exported.

type StructTag

type StructTag string

A StructTag is the tag string in a struct field.

By convention, tag strings are a concatenation of optionally space-separated key:"value" pairs. Each key is a non-empty string consisting of non-control characters other than space (U+0020 ' '), quote (U+0022 '"'), and colon (U+003A ':'). Each value is quoted using U+0022 '"' characters and Go string literal syntax.

func (StructTag) Get

func (tag StructTag) Get(key string) string

Get returns the value associated with key in the tag string. If there is no such key in the tag, Get returns the empty string. If the tag does not have the conventional format, the value returned by Get is unspecified. To determine whether a tag is explicitly set to the empty string, use Lookup.

func (StructTag) Lookup

func (tag StructTag) Lookup(key string) (value string, ok bool)

Lookup returns the value associated with key in the tag string. If the key is present in the tag the value (which may be empty) is returned. Otherwise the returned value will be the empty string. The ok return value reports whether the value was explicitly set in the tag string. If the tag does not have the conventional format, the value returned by Lookup is unspecified.

type Type

type Type interface {

	// NumMethod returns the number of methods accessible using Method.
	//
	// For a non-interface type, it returns the number of exported methods.
	//
	// For an interface type, it returns the number of exported and unexported methods.
	NumMethod() int

	// Name returns the type's name within its package for a defined type.
	// For other (non-defined) types it returns the empty string.
	Name() string

	// PkgPath returns a defined type's package path, that is, the import path
	// that uniquely identifies the package, such as "encoding/base64".
	// If the type was predeclared (string, error) or not defined (*T, struct{},
	// []int, or A where A is an alias for a non-defined type), the package path
	// will be the empty string.
	PkgPath() string

	// String returns a string representation of the type.
	// The string representation may use shortened package names
	// (e.g., base64 instead of "encoding/base64") and is not
	// guaranteed to be unique among types. To test for type identity,
	// compare the Types directly.
	String() string

	// Kind returns the specific kind of this type.
	Kind() Kind

	// ConvertibleTo reports whether a value of the type is convertible to type u.
	// Even if ConvertibleTo returns true, the conversion may still panic.
	// For example, a slice of type []T is convertible to *[N]T,
	// but the conversion will panic if its length is less than N.
	ConvertibleTo(u Type) bool

	ConvertibleToWithInterface(u Type) bool

	// ChanDir returns a channel type's direction.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Chan.
	ChanDir() ChanDir

	// IsVariadic reports whether a function type's final input parameter
	// is a "..." parameter. If so, t.In(t.NumIn() - 1) returns the parameter's
	// implicit actual type []T.
	//
	// For concreteness, if t represents func(x int, y ... float64), then
	//
	//	t.NumIn() == 2
	//	t.In(0) is the reflect.Type for "int"
	//	t.In(1) is the reflect.Type for "[]float64"
	//	t.IsVariadic() == true
	//
	// IsVariadic panics if the type's Kind is not Func.
	IsVariadic() bool

	// Elem returns a type's element type.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Array, Chan, Map, Pointer, or Slice.
	Elem() Type

	// Field returns a struct type's i'th field.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Struct.
	// It panics if i is not in the range [0, NumField()).
	Field(i int) StructField

	// In returns the type of a function type's i'th input parameter.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Func.
	// It panics if i is not in the range [0, NumIn()).
	In(i int) Type

	// Key returns a map type's key type.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Map.
	Key() Type

	// Len returns an array type's length.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Array.
	Len() int

	// NumField returns a struct type's field count.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Struct.
	NumField() int

	// NumIn returns a function type's input parameter count.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Func.
	NumIn() int

	// NumOut returns a function type's output parameter count.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Func.
	NumOut() int

	// Out returns the type of a function type's i'th output parameter.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Func.
	// It panics if i is not in the range [0, NumOut()).
	Out(i int) Type
	// contains filtered or unexported methods
}

Type is the representation of a Go type.

Not all methods apply to all kinds of types. Restrictions, if any, are noted in the documentation for each method. Use the Kind method to find out the kind of type before calling kind-specific methods. Calling a method inappropriate to the kind of type causes a run-time panic.

Type values are comparable, such as with the == operator, so they can be used as map keys. Two Type values are equal if they represent identical types.

func TypeOf

func TypeOf(i interface{}) Type

TypeOf returns the reflection Type that represents the dynamic type of i. If i is a nil interface value, TypeOf returns nil.

type Value

type Value struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Value is the reflection interface to a Go value.

Not all methods apply to all kinds of values. Restrictions, if interface{}, are noted in the documentation for each method. Use the Kind method to find out the kind of value before calling kind-specific methods. Calling a method inappropriate to the kind of type causes a run time panic.

The zero Value represents no value. Its IsValid method returns false, its Kind method returns Invalid, its String method returns "<invalid Value>", and all other methods panic. Most functions and methods never return an invalid value. If one does, its documentation states the conditions explicitly.

A Value can be used concurrently by multiple goroutines provided that the underlying Go value can be used concurrently for the equivalent direct operations.

To compare two Values, compare the results of the Interface method. Using == on two Values does not compare the underlying values they represent.

func Indirect

func Indirect(v Value) Value

Indirect returns the value that v points to. If v is a nil pointer, Indirect returns a zero Value. If v is not a pointer, Indirect returns v.

func MakeMapWithSize

func MakeMapWithSize(typ Type, n int) Value

MakeMapWithSize creates a new map with the specified type and initial space for approximately n elements.

func New

func New(typ Type) Value

New returns a Value representing a pointer to a new zero value for the specified type. That is, the returned Value's Type is PointerTo(typ).

func NewAt

func NewAt(typ Type, p unsafe.Pointer) Value

NewAt returns a Value representing a pointer to a value of the specified type, using p as that pointer.

func ValueOf

func ValueOf(i interface{}) Value

ValueOf returns a new Value initialized to the concrete value stored in the interface i. ValueOf(nil) returns the zero Value.

func Zero

func Zero(typ Type) Value

Zero returns a Value representing the zero value for the specified type. The result is different from the zero value of the Value struct, which represents no value at all. For example, Zero(TypeOf(42)) returns a Value with Kind Int and value 0. The returned value is neither addressable nor settable.

func (Value) Addr

func (v Value) Addr() Value

Addr returns a pointer value representing the address of v. It panics if CanAddr() returns false. Addr is typically used to obtain a pointer to a struct field or slice element in order to call a method that requires a pointer receiver.

func (Value) Bool

func (v Value) Bool() bool

Bool returns v's underlying value. It panics if v's kind is not Bool.

func (Value) Bytes

func (v Value) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns v's underlying value. It panics if v's underlying value is not a slice of bytes.

func (Value) CanAddr

func (v Value) CanAddr() bool

CanAddr reports whether the value's address can be obtained with Addr. Such values are called addressable. A value is addressable if it is an element of a slice, an element of an addressable array, a field of an addressable struct, or the result of dereferencing a pointer. If CanAddr returns false, calling Addr will panic.

func (Value) CanComplex

func (v Value) CanComplex() bool

CanComplex reports whether Complex can be used without panicking.

func (Value) CanConvert

func (v Value) CanConvert(t Type) bool

CanConvert reports whether the value v can be converted to type t. If v.CanConvert(t) returns true then v.Convert(t) will not panic.

func (Value) CanFloat

func (v Value) CanFloat() bool

CanFloat reports whether Float can be used without panicking.

func (Value) CanInt

func (v Value) CanInt() bool

CanInt reports whether Int can be used without panicking.

func (Value) CanInterface

func (v Value) CanInterface() bool

CanInterface reports whether Interface can be used without panicking.

func (Value) CanSet

func (v Value) CanSet() bool

CanSet reports whether the value of v can be changed. A Value can be changed only if it is addressable and was not obtained by the use of unexported struct fields. If CanSet returns false, calling Set or interface{} type-specific setter (e.g., SetBool, SetInt) will panic.

func (Value) CanUint

func (v Value) CanUint() bool

CanUint reports whether Uint can be used without panicking.

func (Value) Complex

func (v Value) Complex() complex128

Complex returns v's underlying value, as a complex128. It panics if v's Kind is not Complex64 or Complex128

func (Value) Convert

func (v Value) Convert(t Type) Value

Convert returns the value v converted to type t. If the usual Go conversion rules do not allow conversion of the value v to type t, or if converting v to type t panics, Convert panics.

func (Value) ConvertWithInterface

func (v Value) ConvertWithInterface(t Type) Value

func (Value) Elem

func (v Value) Elem() Value

Elem returns the value that the interface v contains or that the pointer v points to. It panics if v's Kind is not Interface or Pointer. It returns the zero Value if v is nil.

func (Value) Field

func (v Value) Field(i int) Value

Field returns the i'th field of the struct v. It panics if v's Kind is not Struct or i is out of range.

func (Value) FieldByIndex

func (v Value) FieldByIndex(index []int) Value

FieldByIndex returns the nested field corresponding to index. It panics if evaluation requires stepping through a nil pointer or a field that is not a struct.

func (Value) FieldByIndexErr

func (v Value) FieldByIndexErr(index []int) (Value, error)

FieldByIndexErr returns the nested field corresponding to index. It returns an error if evaluation requires stepping through a nil pointer, but panics if it must step through a field that is not a struct.

func (Value) FieldByName

func (v Value) FieldByName(name string) Value

FieldByName returns the struct field with the given name. It returns the zero Value if no field was found. It panics if v's Kind is not struct.

func (Value) FieldByNameFunc

func (v Value) FieldByNameFunc(match func(string) bool) Value

FieldByNameFunc returns the struct field with a name that satisfies the match function. It panics if v's Kind is not struct. It returns the zero Value if no field was found.

func (Value) Float

func (v Value) Float() float64

Float returns v's underlying value, as a float64. It panics if v's Kind is not Float32 or Float64

func (Value) Index

func (v Value) Index(i int) Value

Index returns v's i'th element. It panics if v's Kind is not Array, Slice, or String or i is out of range.

func (Value) Int

func (v Value) Int() int64

Int returns v's underlying value, as an int64. It panics if v's Kind is not Int, Int8, Int16, Int32, or Int64.

func (Value) Interface

func (v Value) Interface() (i interface{})

Interface returns v's current value as an interface{}. It is equivalent to:

var i interface{} = (v's underlying value)

It panics if the Value was obtained by accessing unexported struct fields.

func (Value) InterfaceData deprecated

func (v Value) InterfaceData() [2]uintptr

InterfaceData returns a pair of unspecified uintptr values. It panics if v's Kind is not Interface.

In earlier versions of Go, this function returned the interface's value as a uintptr pair. As of Go 1.4, the implementation of interface values precludes interface{} defined use of InterfaceData.

Deprecated: The memory representation of interface values is not compatible with InterfaceData.

func (Value) IsNil

func (v Value) IsNil() bool

IsNil reports whether its argument v is nil. The argument must be a chan, func, interface, map, pointer, or slice value; if it is not, IsNil panics. Note that IsNil is not always equivalent to a regular comparison with nil in Go. For example, if v was created by calling ValueOf with an uninitialized interface variable i, i==nil will be true but v.IsNil will panic as v will be the zero Value.

func (Value) IsValid

func (v Value) IsValid() bool

IsValid reports whether v represents a value. It returns false if v is the zero Value. If IsValid returns false, all other methods except String panic. Most functions and methods never return an invalid Value. If one does, its documentation states the conditions explicitly.

func (Value) IsZero

func (v Value) IsZero() bool

IsZero reports whether v is the zero value for its type. It panics if the argument is invalid.

func (Value) Kind

func (v Value) Kind() Kind

Kind returns v's Kind. If v is the zero Value (IsValid returns false), Kind returns Invalid.

func (Value) Len

func (v Value) Len() int

Len returns v's length. It panics if v's Kind is not Array, Chan, Map, Slice, or String.

func (Value) MapIndex

func (v Value) MapIndex(key Value) Value

MapIndex returns the value associated with key in the map v. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. It returns the zero Value if key is not found in the map or if v represents a nil map. As in Go, the key's value must be assignable to the map's key type.

func (Value) MapKeys

func (v Value) MapKeys() []Value

MapKeys returns a slice containing all the keys present in the map, in unspecified order. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. It returns an empty slice if v represents a nil map.

func (Value) MapRange

func (v Value) MapRange() *MapIter

MapRange returns a range iterator for a map. It panics if v's Kind is not Map.

Call Next to advance the iterator, and Key/Value to access each entry. Next returns false when the iterator is exhausted. MapRange follows the same iteration semantics as a range statement.

Example:

iter := reflect.ValueOf(m).MapRange()
for iter.Next() {
	k := iter.Key()
	v := iter.Value()
	...
}

func (Value) Method

func (v Value) Method(i int) Value

Method returns a function value corresponding to v's i'th method. The arguments to a Call on the returned function should not include a receiver; the returned function will always use v as the receiver. Method panics if i is out of range or if v is a nil interface value.

func (Value) NumField

func (v Value) NumField() int

NumField returns the number of fields in the struct v. It panics if v's Kind is not Struct.

func (Value) NumMethod

func (v Value) NumMethod() int

NumMethod returns the number of exported methods in the value's method set.

func (Value) OverflowComplex

func (v Value) OverflowComplex(x complex128) bool

OverflowComplex reports whether the complex128 x cannot be represented by v's type. It panics if v's Kind is not Complex64 or Complex128.

func (Value) OverflowFloat

func (v Value) OverflowFloat(x float64) bool

OverflowFloat reports whether the float64 x cannot be represented by v's type. It panics if v's Kind is not Float32 or Float64.

func (Value) OverflowInt

func (v Value) OverflowInt(x int64) bool

OverflowInt reports whether the int64 x cannot be represented by v's type. It panics if v's Kind is not Int, Int8, Int16, Int32, or Int64.

func (Value) OverflowUint

func (v Value) OverflowUint(x uint64) bool

OverflowUint reports whether the uint64 x cannot be represented by v's type. It panics if v's Kind is not Uint, Uintptr, Uint8, Uint16, Uint32, or Uint64.

func (Value) Pointer

func (v Value) Pointer() uintptr

Pointer returns v's value as a uintptr. It returns uintptr instead of unsafe.Pointer so that code using reflect cannot obtain unsafe.Pointers without importing the unsafe package explicitly. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan, Func, Map, Pointer, Slice, or UnsafePointer.

If v's Kind is Func, the returned pointer is an underlying code pointer, but not necessarily enough to identify a single function uniquely. The only guarantee is that the result is zero if and only if v is a nil func Value.

If v's Kind is Slice, the returned pointer is to the first element of the slice. If the slice is nil the returned value is 0. If the slice is empty but non-nil the return value is non-zero.

It's preferred to use uintptr(Value.UnsafePointer()) to get the equivalent result.

func (Value) Set

func (v Value) Set(x Value)

Set assigns x to the value v. It panics if CanSet returns false. As in Go, x's value must be assignable to v's type.

func (Value) SetBool

func (v Value) SetBool(x bool)

SetBool sets v's underlying value. It panics if v's Kind is not Bool or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) SetBytes

func (v Value) SetBytes(x []byte)

SetBytes sets v's underlying value. It panics if v's underlying value is not a slice of bytes.

func (Value) SetCap

func (v Value) SetCap(n int)

SetCap sets v's capacity to n. It panics if v's Kind is not Slice or if n is smaller than the length or greater than the capacity of the slice.

func (Value) SetComplex

func (v Value) SetComplex(x complex128)

SetComplex sets v's underlying value to x. It panics if v's Kind is not Complex64 or Complex128, or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) SetFloat

func (v Value) SetFloat(x float64)

SetFloat sets v's underlying value to x. It panics if v's Kind is not Float32 or Float64, or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) SetInt

func (v Value) SetInt(x int64)

SetInt sets v's underlying value to x. It panics if v's Kind is not Int, Int8, Int16, Int32, or Int64, or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) SetIterKey

func (v Value) SetIterKey(iter *MapIter)

SetIterKey assigns to v the key of iter's current map entry. It is equivalent to v.Set(iter.Key()), but it avoids allocating a new Value. As in Go, the key must be assignable to v's type.

func (Value) SetIterValue

func (v Value) SetIterValue(iter *MapIter)

SetIterValue assigns to v the value of iter's current map entry. It is equivalent to v.Set(iter.Value()), but it avoids allocating a new Value. As in Go, the value must be assignable to v's type.

func (Value) SetLen

func (v Value) SetLen(n int)

SetLen sets v's length to n. It panics if v's Kind is not Slice or if n is negative or greater than the capacity of the slice.

func (Value) SetMapIndex

func (v Value) SetMapIndex(key, elem Value)

SetMapIndex sets the element associated with key in the map v to elem. It panics if v's Kind is not Map. If elem is the zero Value, SetMapIndex deletes the key from the map. Otherwise if v holds a nil map, SetMapIndex will panic. As in Go, key's elem must be assignable to the map's key type, and elem's value must be assignable to the map's elem type.

func (Value) SetPointer

func (v Value) SetPointer(x unsafe.Pointer)

SetPointer sets the unsafe.Pointer value v to x. It panics if v's Kind is not UnsafePointer.

func (Value) SetString

func (v Value) SetString(x string)

SetString sets v's underlying value to x. It panics if v's Kind is not String or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) SetUint

func (v Value) SetUint(x uint64)

SetUint sets v's underlying value to x. It panics if v's Kind is not Uint, Uintptr, Uint8, Uint16, Uint32, or Uint64, or if CanSet() is false.

func (Value) Slice

func (v Value) Slice(i, j int) Value

Slice returns v[i:j]. It panics if v's Kind is not Array, Slice or String, or if v is an unaddressable array, or if the indexes are out of bounds.

func (Value) String

func (v Value) String() string

String returns the string v's underlying value, as a string. String is a special case because of Go's String method convention. Unlike the other getters, it does not panic if v's Kind is not String. Instead, it returns a string of the form "<T value>" where T is v's type. The fmt package treats Values specially. It does not call their String method implicitly but instead prints the concrete values they hold.

func (Value) Type

func (v Value) Type() Type

Type returns v's type.

func (Value) Uint

func (v Value) Uint() uint64

Uint returns v's underlying value, as a uint64. It panics if v's Kind is not Uint, Uintptr, Uint8, Uint16, Uint32, or Uint64.

func (Value) UnsafeAddr

func (v Value) UnsafeAddr() uintptr

UnsafeAddr returns a pointer to v's data, as a uintptr. It is for advanced clients that also import the "unsafe" package. It panics if v is not addressable.

It's preferred to use uintptr(Value.Addr().UnsafePointer()) to get the equivalent result.

func (Value) UnsafePointer

func (v Value) UnsafePointer() unsafe.Pointer

UnsafePointer returns v's value as a unsafe.Pointer. It panics if v's Kind is not Chan, Func, Map, Pointer, Slice, or UnsafePointer.

If v's Kind is Func, the returned pointer is an underlying code pointer, but not necessarily enough to identify a single function uniquely. The only guarantee is that the result is zero if and only if v is a nil func Value.

If v's Kind is Slice, the returned pointer is to the first element of the slice. If the slice is nil the returned value is nil. If the slice is empty but non-nil the return value is non-nil.

type ValueError

type ValueError struct {
	Method string
	Kind   Kind
}

A ValueError occurs when a Value method is invoked on a Value that does not support it. Such cases are documented in the description of each method.

func (*ValueError) Error

func (e *ValueError) Error() string

Notes

Bugs

  • FieldByName and related functions consider struct field names to be equal if the names are equal, even if they are unexported names originating in different packages. The practical effect of this is that the result of t.FieldByName("x") is not well defined if the struct type t contains multiple fields named x (embedded from different packages). FieldByName may return one of the fields named x or may report that there are none. See https://golang.org/issue/4876 for more details.
