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,
}
