avrogo

Documentation

Overview

The avrogo command generates Go types for the Avro schemas specified on the command line. Each schema file results in a Go file with the same basename but with a ".go" suffix, or multiple files if -split is set. If multiple schema files have the same basename, successively more elements of their full path are used (replacing path separators with "_") until they're not the same any more.

Type names within different schemas may refer to one another; for example to put a shared definition in a separate .avsc file.

Usage:

	usage: avrogo [flags] schema-file...
	  -srcDir string
	    	directory with source files to use (default "."). After adding this flag, schema-files are optional
	  -d string
	    	directory to write Go files to (default ".")
	  -p string
	    	package name (defaults to $GOPACKAGE)
	  -t	generated files will have _test.go suffix
	  -s string
	    	suffix for generated files (default "_gen")
   -tokenize
         if true, generate one dedicated file per qualified name found in the schema files

By default, a type is generated for each Avro definition in the schema. Some additional metadata fields are recognized:
