Go Struct Tags to Comma Separated List

This go library returns a comma separated list of tags from pure structs.

Idea

The idea of this lib is to simplify SQL queries without using an ORM.

Example:

type Clients struct {
	Name   string `db:"username" json:"Username"`
	City   string `db:"location" json:"City"`
	Age    int    `db:"age" json:"Age"`
	Gender string `db:"mf" json:"Gender"`
	Car    string `db:"auto" json:"Auto"`
	}

Instead of manually creating an SQL Query like "SELECT Name, City, Age, Gender, Car FROM..." the query can be written this way:

fmt.Sprintf("SELECT %v WHERE %v = @p1", list.StructTagList(Clients{},"db",true), field), param)

Whenever the struct changes automatically also the Query will change.

Usage

import "github.com/pitw/go-struct-tag-list/list"

The list package needs 3 params:

Param	Type	Example	Note
Struct	struct{}	Clients{}	The target struct
Struct Tag	string	"db"	The struct tag which should be exported as list
Check	bool	true	Checks if all fields in struct have this tag

The list package returns a comma separated list as string and errors.

type Clients struct {
	Name   string `db:"username" json:"Username"`
	City   string `db:"location" json:"City"`
	Age    int    `db:"age" json:"Age"`
	Gender string `db:"mf" json:"Gender"`
	Car    string `db:"auto" json:"Auto"`
}

v, err := list.StructTagList(Clients{}, "db", true)
fmt.Print(v)   // returns username,location,age,mf,auto
fmt.Print(err)  // returns nil


v, err := list.StructTagTypeList(Clients{}, "db", true)
