History

Roger Peppe fde815f6a1 godoc.org-compatible ast package Change the dump code so that it hides the values of variable definitions if they're large. This means that godoc.org should be able to deal with the output, and the godoc output is readable without needing to read through a huge struct literal definition. Other approaches might be to always generate an extra variable (seems unnecessary) or to pass to writer explicitly to the dump methods rather than swapping s.w out temporarily. The former seems unnecessarily intrusive to the usual output; the latter seemed unnecessarily intrusive to the source itself. YMMV.		2018-04-12 14:06:52 -04:00

dump

Package dump can dump a Go data structure to Go source file, so that it can be statically embeded into other code.

Project Status

Aliases to primitives and structs will be preserved in the objects described by the generated code.

var a = "hello world"

var Obj = &struct {
    Foo *string
    Bar *string
}{
	Foo: &a,
	Bar: &a,
}

dump.dump(Obj)

will output

var p1Var = "hello world"
var p1 = &p1Var
var Obj = &struct { Foo *string; Bar *string }{
	Foo: p1,
	Bar: p1,
}

type Zeo struct {
	A *string
}

var z = Zeo {
	A: "hello world",
}

var Obj = &struct {
	Foo *Zeo
	Bar *Zeo
}{
	Foo: &z,
	Bar: &z,
}

dump.dump(Obj)

will output

var p1 = &Zeo{
	A: "hello world",
}
var Obj = &struct { Foo *Zeo; Bar *Zeo }{
	Foo: p1,
	Bar: p1,
}
