taubyte/go-seer

Go-seer is a tool to parse and edit YAML files in a directory as one structure.

Features

• Preserves comments and formatting of original document
• Creates non existing documents
• Maps folders and files to objects

Note: Under the hood we use gopkg.in/yaml.v3 so YAML 1.1 & 1.2 are supported.

Installation

The import path for the package is github.com/taubyte/go-seer.

To install it, run:

go get github.com/taubyte/go-seer

Usage

First start by creating an instance of go-seer

s := New(SystemFS("config/"))

Note that you can also use a virtual file system.

import "github.com/spf13/afero"

vfs := afero.NewMemMapFs()

s := New(VirtualFS(vfs,"config/"))

Now, let's build a query that will create a YAML file representing a leaf object:

type EV struct {
    Battery int
    Range int
}

err = seer.Get("cars").Get("electric").Get("taumobile").Document().Set(EV{Battery: 100, Range:400}).Commit()

If you check the file system you will find

cars/
  electric/
    taumobile.yaml

Open taumobile.yaml

Battery: 100
Range: 400

To query a value

var battery int
seer.Get("cars").Get("electric").Get("taumobile").Get("Battery").Value(&battery)
fmt.Printf("Battery of %dKwh\n", battery)

Will print

Battery of 100Kwh
