copygen

Example: Manual

The manual examples uses manual mapping to match three models.

./domain/domain.go

// Package domain contains business logic models.
package domain

// Account represents a user account.
type Account struct {
	ID     int
	UserID int
	Name   string
	Other  string // The other field is not used.
}

./models/model.go

// Package models contains data storage models (i.e database).
package models

// Account represents the data model for account.
type Account struct {
	ID       int
	Name     string
	Password string
	Email    string
}

// A User represents the data model for a user.
type User struct {
	UserID   int
	Name     int
	UserData string
}

Go

Map the from field models.Account.ID to to-fields with the regex pattern domain.Account.ID, models.Account.Name to to-fields with the regex pattern domain.Account.Name, and models.User.UserID to to-fields with the regex pattern domain.Account.UserID.

// Copygen defines the functions that will be generated.
type Copygen interface {
	// map models.Account.ID *domain.Account.ID
	// map models.Account.Name *domain.Account.Name
	// map models.User.UserID *domain.Account.UserID
	ModelsToDomain(models.Account, models.User) *domain.Account
}

/* Define the function and field this converter is applied to using regex. */
// convert .* models.User.UserID
// Itoa converts an integer to an ascii value.
func Itoa(i int) string {
	return c.Itoa(i)
}
