Easy and safe casting from one type to another in Go
|
||||
|
||||
Don’t Panic! ... Cast
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Cast?
|
||||
|
||||
Cast is a library to convert between different go types in a consistent and easy way.
|
||||
|
||||
Cast provides simple functions to easily convert a number to a string, an
|
||||
interface into a bool, etc. Cast does this intelligently when an obvious
|
||||
conversion is possible. It doesn’t make any attempts to guess what you meant,
|
||||
for example you can only convert a string to an int when it is a string
|
||||
representation of an int such as “8”. Cast was developed for use in
|
||||
[Hugo](http://hugo.spf13.com), a website engine which uses YAML, TOML or JSON
|
||||
for meta data.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why use Cast?
|
||||
|
||||
When working with dynamic data in Go you often need to cast or convert the data
|
||||
from one type into another. Cast goes beyond just using type assertion (though
|
||||
it uses that when possible) to provide a very straightforward and convenient
|
||||
library.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are working with interfaces to handle things like dynamic content
|
||||
you’ll need an easy way to convert an interface into a given type. This
|
||||
is the library for you.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are taking in data from YAML, TOML or JSON or other formats which lack
|
||||
full types, then Cast is the library for you.
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Cast provides a handful of To_____ methods. These methods will always return
|
||||
the desired type. **If input is provided that will not convert to that type, the
|
||||
0 or nil value for that type will be returned**.
|
||||
|
||||
Cast also provides identical methods To_____E. These return the same result as
|
||||
the To_____ methods, plus an additional bool which tells you if it successfully
|
||||
converted. Using these methods you can tell the difference between when the
|
||||
input matched the zero value or when the conversion failed and the zero value
|
||||
was returned.
|
||||
|
||||
The following examples are merely a sample of what is available. Please review
|
||||
the code for a complete set.
|
||||
|
||||
### Example ‘ToString’:
|
||||
|
||||
cast.ToString("mayonegg") // "mayonegg"
|
||||
cast.ToString(8) // "8"
|
||||
cast.ToString(8.31) // "8.31"
|
||||
cast.ToString([]byte("one time")) // "one time"
|
||||
cast.ToString(nil) // ""
|
||||
|
||||
var foo interface{} = "one more time"
|
||||
cast.ToString(foo) // "one more time"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Example ‘ToInt’:
|
||||
|
||||
cast.ToInt(8) // 8
|
||||
cast.ToInt(8.31) // 8
|
||||
cast.ToInt("8") // 8
|
||||
cast.ToInt(true) // 1
|
||||
cast.ToInt(false) // 0
|
||||
|
||||
var eight interface{} = 8
|
||||
cast.ToInt(eight) // 8
|
||||
cast.ToInt(nil) // 0
