===== Easy, straightforward type conversion for Go.

gonverter package provides a homogeneous conversion interface for Go basic types, based on a type names initials pattern:

´int´ -> I
´string´ -> S
´bool´ -> B
...

This pattern makes possible to achieve conversions easily:

´int´ to ´string´: ItoS
´bool´ to ´int´: BtoS
...

Disclaimer: Go already provides simple native conversions. This package does not aim to replace them, just to put all of them together, making easier to the Go developer to find the right conversion way without digging in multiple doc sources.

TODO:

´int8´ -> I8
´int16´ -> I16
´int32´ -> I32
´int64´ -> I64

´uint´ -> U
´uint8´ -> U8
´byte´ -> B // alias for uint8
´uint16´ -> U16
´uint32´ -> U32
´rune´ -> R // alias for int32
´uint64´ -> U64
´uintptr´ -> Uptr

´float32´ -> F
´float64´ -> F64

´complex64´ -> C
´complex128´ -> C128

##Install

go get github.com/fern4lvarez/gonverter

##Usage

// gonversions.go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    gnv "github.com/fern4lvarez/gonverter"
)

func main() {
    var i, n int
    var s string
    var b bool

    i = gnv.StoI("38")
    // 38

    n = i + 3
    // 41

    s = gnv.ItoS(n)
    if s == "41" {
        b = gnv.StoB(s)
        // true

        i = gnv.BtoI(b)
        // 1

        res := n + i
        // 42

        b = gnv.ItoB(res)
        if b { // true
            fmt.Printf("It's %s, the answer is %s.", gnv.BtoS(b), gnv.ItoS(res))
        }
    }
}

$ go run gonversions.go
It's true, the answer is 42.
