# Structs [](http://godoc.org/github.com/fatih/structs) [](https://travis-ci.org/fatih/structs) [](https://coveralls.io/r/fatih/structs)
|
|
|
|
Structs contains various utilities to work with Go (Golang) structs. It was
|
|
initially used by me to convert a struct into a `map[string]interface{}`. With
|
|
time I've added other utilities for structs. It's basically a high level
|
|
package based on primitives from the reflect package. Feel free to add new
|
|
functions or improve the existing code.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get github.com/fatih/structs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage and Examples
|
|
|
|
Just like the standard lib `strings`, `bytes` and co packages, `structs` has
|
|
many global functions to manipulate or organize your struct data. Lets define
|
|
and declare a struct:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type Server struct {
|
|
Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
|
|
ID int
|
|
Enabled bool
|
|
users []string // not exported
|
|
http.Server // embedded
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
server := &Server{
|
|
Name: "gopher",
|
|
ID: 123456,
|
|
Enabled: true,
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Convert a struct to a map[string]interface{}
|
|
// => {"Name":"gopher", "ID":123456, "Enabled":true}
|
|
m := structs.Map(server)
|
|
|
|
// Convert the values of a struct to a []interface{}
|
|
// => ["gopher", 123456, true]
|
|
v := structs.Values(server)
|
|
|
|
// Convert the names of a struct to a []string
|
|
// (see "Names methods" for more info about fields)
|
|
n := structs.Names(server)
|
|
|
|
// Convert the values of a struct to a []*Field
|
|
// (see "Field methods" for more info about fields)
|
|
f := structs.Fields(server)
|
|
|
|
// Return the struct name => "Server"
|
|
n := structs.Name(server)
|
|
|
|
// Check if any field of a struct is initialized or not.
|
|
h := structs.HasZero(server)
|
|
|
|
// Check if all fields of a struct is initialized or not.
|
|
z := structs.IsZero(server)
|
|
|
|
// Check if server is a struct or a pointer to struct
|
|
i := structs.IsStruct(server)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Struct methods
|
|
|
|
The structs functions can be also used as independent methods by creating a new
|
|
`*structs.Struct`. This is handy if you want to have more control over the
|
|
structs (such as retrieving a single Field).
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
// Create a new struct type:
|
|
s := structs.New(server)
|
|
|
|
m := s.Map() // Get a map[string]interface{}
|
|
v := s.Values() // Get a []interface{}
|
|
f := s.Fields() // Get a []*Field
|
|
n := s.Names() // Get a []string
|
|
f := s.Field(name) // Get a *Field based on the given field name
|
|
f, ok := s.FieldOk(name) // Get a *Field based on the given field name
|
|
n := s.Name() // Get the struct name
|
|
h := s.HasZero() // Check if any field is initialized
|
|
z := s.IsZero() // Check if all fields are initialized
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Field methods
|
|
|
|
We can easily examine a single Field for more detail. Below you can see how we
|
|
get and interact with various field methods:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
s := structs.New(server)
|
|
|
|
// Get the Field struct for the "Name" field
|
|
name := s.Field("Name")
|
|
|
|
// Get the underlying value, value => "gopher"
|
|
value := name.Value().(string)
|
|
|
|
// Set the field's value
|
|
name.Set("another gopher")
|
|
|
|
// Get the field's kind, kind => "string"
|
|
name.Kind()
|
|
|
|
// Check if the field is exported or not
|
|
if name.IsExported() {
|
|
fmt.Println("Name field is exported")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Check if the value is a zero value, such as "" for string, 0 for int
|
|
if !name.IsZero() {
|
|
fmt.Println("Name is initialized")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Check if the field is an anonymous (embedded) field
|
|
if !name.IsEmbedded() {
|
|
fmt.Println("Name is not an embedded field")
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
// Get the Field's tag value for tag name "json", tag value => "name,omitempty"
|
|
tagValue := name.Tag("json")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Nested structs are supported too:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
addrField := s.Field("Server").Field("Addr")
|
|
|
|
// Get the value for addr
|
|
a := addrField.Value().(string)
|
|
|
|
// Or get all fields
|
|
httpServer := s.Field("Server").Fields()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We can also get a slice of Fields from the Struct type to iterate over all
|
|
fields. This is handy if you wish to examine all fields:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
s := structs.New(server)
|
|
|
|
for _, f := range s.Fields() {
|
|
fmt.Printf("field name: %+v\n", f.Name())
|
|
|
|
if f.IsExported() {
|
|
fmt.Printf("value : %+v\n", f.Value())
|
|
fmt.Printf("is zero : %+v\n", f.IsZero())
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
