Field

Field is abstract struct field for provide several high level functions

Source:

• https://github.com/duke-git/lancet/blob/main/structs/field.go

Usage:

import (
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

Index:

• Tag
• Name
• Value
• Kind
• IsEmbedded
• IsExported
• IsZero
• IsSlice

Note：Since Field inherits from Struct, it also has all the methods of 'Struct', as follows:

• ToMap
• Fields
• Field
• IsStruct

Documentation:

Tag

Get a `Tag` of the `Field`, `Tag` is a abstract struct field tag

Signature:

func (f *Field) Tag() *Tag

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
    }
    p1 := &Parent{"111"}

    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    tag := n.Tag()

    fmt.Println(tag.Name)

    // Output:
    // name
}

Value

Get the `Field` underlying value

Signature:

func (f *Field) Value() any

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string `json:"name,omitempty"`
    }
    p1 := &Parent{"111"}

    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")

    fmt.Println(n.Value())

    // Output:
    // 111
}

IsEmbedded

Check if the field is an embedded field

Signature:

func (f *Field) IsEmbedded() bool

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
    }
    type Child struct {
        Parent
        Age int
    }
    c1 := &Child{}
    c1.Name = "111"
    c1.Age = 11

    s := structs.New(c1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    a, _ := s.Field("Age")

    fmt.Println(n.IsEmbedded())
    fmt.Println(a.IsEmbedded())

    // Output:
    // true
    // false
}

IsExported

Check if the field is exported

Signature:

func (f *Field) IsExported() bool

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
        age  int
    }
    p1 := &Parent{Name: "11", age: 11}
    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    a, _ := s.Field("age")

    fmt.Println(n.IsExported())
    fmt.Println(a.IsExported())

    // Output:
    // true
    // false
}

IsZero

Check if the field is zero value

Signature:

func (f *Field) IsZero() bool

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
        Age  int
    }
    p1 := &Parent{Age: 11}
    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    a, _ := s.Field("Age")

    fmt.Println(n.IsZero())
    fmt.Println(a.IsZero())

    // Output:
    // true
    // false
}

Name

Get the field name

Signature:

func (f *Field) Name() string

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
        Age  int
    }
    p1 := &Parent{Age: 11}
    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    a, _ := s.Field("Age")

    fmt.Println(n.Name())
    fmt.Println(a.Name())

    // Output:
    // Name
    // Age
}

Kind

Get the field's kind

Signature:

func (f *Field) Kind() reflect.Kind

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
        Age  int
    }
    p1 := &Parent{Age: 11}
    s := structs.New(p1)
    n, _ := s.Field("Name")
    a, _ := s.Field("Age")

    fmt.Println(n.Kind())
    fmt.Println(a.Kind())

    // Output:
    // string
    // int
}

IsSlice

Check if the field is a slice

Signature:

func (f *Field) IsSlice() bool

Example:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/duke-git/lancet/v2/structs"
)

func main() {
    type Parent struct {
        Name string
        arr  []int
    }

    p1 := &Parent{arr: []int{1, 2, 3}}
    s := structs.New(p1)
    a, _ := s.Field("arr")

    fmt.Println(a.IsSlice())

    // Output:
    // true
}
