	// 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

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.

	// []int, or A where A is an alias for a non-defined type), the package path
	// will be the empty string.
	PkgPath() string

	// Size returns the number of bytes needed to store
	// a value of the given type; it is analogous to unsafe.Sizeof.
	Size() uintptr

	// 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

	// Implements reports whether the type implements the interface type u.
	Implements(u Type) bool

	AssignableTo(u Type) bool

	// 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

	//
	//	t.NumIn() == 2

	//
	// FieldByNameFunc considers the fields in the struct itself

	// and FieldByNameFunc returns no match.
	// This behavior mirrors Go's handling of name lookup in
	// structs containing embedded fields.
	FieldByNameFunc(match func(string) bool) (StructField, bool)

	// In returns the type of a function type's i'th input parameter.
	// It panics if the type's Kind is not Func.

}

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 PointerTo

func PointerTo(t Type) Type

PointerTo returns the pointer type with element t. For example, if t represents type Foo, PointerTo(t) represents *Foo.

func PtrTo

func PtrTo(t Type) Type

PtrTo returns the pointer type with element t. For example, if t represents type Foo, PtrTo(t) represents *Foo.

PtrTo is the old spelling of PointerTo. The two functions behave identically.

func SliceOf

func SliceOf(t Type) Type

SliceOf returns the slice type with element type t. For example, if t represents int, SliceOf(t) represents []int.

func TypeOf

func TypeOf(i any) 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 any, 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 Append

func Append(s Value, x ...Value) Value

Append appends the values x to a slice s and returns the resulting slice. As in Go, each x's value must be assignable to the slice's element type.

func AppendSlice

func AppendSlice(s, t Value) Value

AppendSlice appends a slice t to a slice s and returns the resulting slice. The slices s and t must have the same element type.

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 any) 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 or an addressable array of bytes.

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) 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) Grow

func (v Value) Grow(n int)

Grow increases the slice's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n elements. After Grow(n), at least n elements can be appended to the slice without another allocation.

It panics if v's Kind is not a Slice or if n is negative or too large to allocate the memory.

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 any)

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 any 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, String, or pointer to Array.

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 and must not be derived from an unexported field.

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) 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) SetZero

func (v Value) SetZero()

SetZero sets v to be the zero value of v's type. It panics if CanSet returns false.

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
