auto-struct

auto-struct is a simple, lightweight Go library to obtain complex typed values from a flat, key value collection.

Inspired by the .NET Core environment config provider.

Example

Having the following structs:

type innerTestType struct {
	Value2 int64
	Value3 bool
}

type testType struct {
	Value1     string
	InnerValue innerTestType
}

An instance of the testType struct can be retrieved with the following key-value collection, using . as field separator:

Key	Value
"testType.Value1"	"hello"
"testType.InnerValue.Value2"	"12"
"testType.InnerValue.Value3"	"true"

Packages

Package	Utility
pkg/generic	Generic utility to retrieve structs from a key value collection using reflection
pkg/env	Utility to retrieve structs from environment variables
pkg/stringmap	Utility to retrieve structs from map[string]string

Unit tests

To execute the unit tests

go test -v ./...

TODO

• Add support for slices
• Add support for map[string]xxxx
• Add functionality to write struct to key value collection
