type Field ¶

type Field struct {
	Name string            // name of the field
	Tags map[string]string // tags on the field
}

Field contains the parsed metadata about a struct field, like it's Name and a map of it's Tags.

type StructData ¶

type StructData struct {
	Name          string    // the name of the struct we're looking for
	PkgImportPath string    // the import path for this type
	File          *ast.File // parsed file containing our struct def
	Fields        []Field   // the fields def
}

StructData contains data about this struct that is used during the code generation, such as the struct name and package name such that we could generate things like

package foo

type BarSearchRequest struct {
	// ...
}

StructData also collects the Fields contained with the struct such that we can generate a list of fields that are approved for search or create or update requests like

 	type BarField int

	const (
		Baz BarField = iota
		Boom
		Biff
		Bang
	)

func GatherStructData(structName string) (*StructData, error)
