gowrtr CircleCI codecov GoDoc Go Report Card

gowrtr (pronunciation:go writer) is a library that supports golang code generation. This library is go generics ready!

This library is inspired by square/javapoet.

Synopsis

Here is a simple example:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/moznion/gowrtr/generator"
)

func main() {
	generator := generator.NewRoot(
		generator.NewComment(" THIS CODE WAS AUTO GENERATED"),
		generator.NewPackage("main"),
		generator.NewNewline(),
	).AddStatements(
		generator.NewFunc(
			nil,
			generator.NewFuncSignature("main"),
		).AddStatements(
			generator.NewRawStatement(`fmt.Println("hello, world!")`),
		),
	).
		Gofmt("-s").
		Goimports()

	generated, err := generator.Generate(0)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(generated)
}

then it generates the golang code like so:

// THIS CODE WAS AUTO GENERATED
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
        fmt.Println("hello, world!")
}

Generics example is here:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/moznion/gowrtr/generator"
)

func main() {
	generated, err := generator.NewRoot(
		generator.NewComment(" THIS CODE WAS AUTO GENERATED"),
		generator.NewPackage("main"),
		generator.NewNewline(),
		generator.NewStruct("MyStruct").
			TypeParameters(TypeParameters{
				generator.NewTypeParameter("T", "any"),
			}).AddField("anything", "T"),
		generator.NewNewline(),
		generator.NewFunc(
			nil,
			generator.NewFuncSignature("foo").
				TypeParameters(TypeParameters{
					generator.NewTypeParameter("U", "any"),
				}).
				ReturnTypeStatements(generator.NewFuncReturnTypeWithGenerics("MyStruct", generator.TypeParameterNames{"U"})),
		).AddStatements(generator.NewComment("do something")),
		generator.NewNewline(),
		generator.NewFunc(
			generator.NewFuncReceiverWithGenerics("s", "MyStruct", generator.TypeParameterNames{"T"}),
			generator.NewFuncSignature("bar").
				ReturnTypeStatements(generator.NewFuncReturnTypeWithGenerics("MyStruct", generator.TypeParameterNames{"T"})),
		).AddStatements(generator.NewComment("do something")),
	).
		Gofmt("-s").
		Goimports().
		Generate(0)

	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(generated)
}

then it generates the following golang code:

// THIS CODE WAS AUTO GENERATED
package main

type MyStruct[T any] struct {
	anything T
}

func foo[U any]() MyStruct[U] {
	//do something
}

func (s MyStruct[T]) bar() MyStruct[T] {
	//do something
}

And GoDoc shows you a greater number of examples.

Description

Please refer to the godoc: GoDoc

Root

  • Root is an entry point to generate the go code.
  • Root supports following code formatting on code generating phase. It applies such formatters to generated code.
    • gofmt: with Gofmt(gofmtOptions ...string)
    • goimports: with Goimports()

Immutability

Methods of this library act as immutable. It means it doesn't change any internal state implicitly, so you can take a snapshot of the code generator. That is useful to reuse and derive the code generator instance.

Debug friendly

This library shows "where is a cause of the error" when code generator raises an error. This means each error message contains a pointer for the error source (i.e. file name and the line number). This should be helpful for debugging.

Error messages example:

[GOWRTR-14] condition of case must not be empty, but it gets empty (caused at /tmp/main.go:22)
