Struct conversion basics
How to flatten and unflatten structs
- For unflattening:
map DOT TARGET
- For flattening:
autoMap

How to convert to protobuf generated structs
Here is an example with protobuf generated code:
Example (click me)
go
package protobuf
import "goverter/example/pb"
// goverter:converter
type Converter interface {
FromProtobuf(*pb.Event) *OutputEvent
// goverter:ignore state sizeCache unknownFields
ToProtobuf(*OutputEvent) *pb.Event
}
type OutputEvent struct {
Content string
Priority int32
}
proto
syntax = "proto3";
package event;
option go_package = "/pb";
message Event {
string content = 1;
int32 priority = 2;
}
go
