Reflect
The Reflect registry offers tools for inspecting and manipulating data types using reflection, enabling advanced dynamic type handling within your projects.
You can easily import all the functions from the reflect
registry by including the following import statement in your code
typeIs
The function compares the type of a given value (src
) to a specified target type string (target
). It returns true
if the type of src
matches the target type.
typeIsLike
The function compares the type of a given value (src
) to a target type string (target
), with an option for a wildcard *
prefix (pointer). It returns true
if src
matches target
or *target
, which is useful for checking if a variable is of a specific type or a pointer to that type.
typeOf
The function returns the type of the provided value (src
) as a string, giving you a textual representation of its data type.
kindIs
The function compares the kind (category) of a given value (src
) to a target kind string (target
). It returns true
if the kind of src
matches the specified target kind.
kindOf
The function returns the kind (category) of the provided value (src
) as a string, giving a general classification like "int," "struct," or "slice."
hasField
The function checks the presence of a field with the specified name (name
) in the provided struct (src
). It returns true
if the field exists.
deepEqual
The function checks if two variables, x
and y
, are deeply equal by comparing their values and structures using reflect.DeepEqual
.
deepCopy
The function performs a deep copy of the provided element
, creating an exact duplicate of its structure and data. It uses MustDeepCopy
internally to manage the copy process and handle any potential errors. This use the copystructure package internally.
