Given the name of a (signed or unsigned) integer type T that has constants // defined, stringer will create a new self-contained Go source file implementing // // func (t T) String() string // // The file is created in the same package and directory as the package that defines T. // It has helpful defaults designed for use with go generate. // // Stringer works best with constants that are consecutive values such as created using iota, // but creates good code regardless. In the future it might also provide custom support for // constant sets that are bit patterns. // // For example, given this snippet, // // package painkiller // // type Pill int // // const ( // Placebo Pill = iota // Aspirin // Ibuprofen // Paracetamol // Acetaminophen = Paracetamol // ) // // running this command // // stringer -type=Pill // // in the same directory will create the file pill_string.go, in package painkiller, // containing a definition of // // func (Pill) String() string // // That method will translate the value of a Pill constant to the string representation // of the respective constant name, so that the call fmt.Print(painkiller.Aspirin) will // print the string "Aspirin". // // Typically this process would be run using go generate, like this: // // //go:generate stringer -type=Pill // // If multiple constants have the same value, the lexically first matching name will // be used (in the example, Acetaminophen will print as "Paracetamol"). // // With no arguments, it processes the package in the current directory. // Otherwise, the arguments must name a single directory holding a Go package // or a set of Go source files that represent a single Go package. // // The -type flag accepts a comma-separated list of types so a single run can // generate methods for multiple types. The default output file is t_string.go, // where t is the lower-cased name of the first type listed. It can be overridden // with the -output flag. // // The -linecomment flag tells stringer to generate the text of any line comment, trimmed // of leading spaces, instead of the constant name. For instance, if the constants above had a // Pill prefix, one could write // // PillAspirin // Aspirin // // to suppress it in the output. package main // import "golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer" import ( "bytes" "flag" "fmt" "go/ast" "go/constant" "go/format" "go/token" "go/types" "log" "os" "path/filepath" "sort" "strings" "golang.org/x/tools/go/packages" ) var ( typeNames = flag.String("type", "", "comma-separated list of type names; must be set") output = flag.String("output", "", "output file name; default srcdir/_string.go") trimprefix = flag.String("trimprefix", "", "trim the `prefix` from the generated constant names") linecomment = flag.Bool("linecomment", false, "use line comment text as printed text when present") buildTags = flag.String("tags", "", "comma-separated list of build tags to apply") ) // Usage is a replacement usage function for the flags package. func Usage() { fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Usage of stringer:\n") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "\tstringer [flags] -type T [directory]\n") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "\tstringer [flags] -type T files... # Must be a single package\n") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "For more information, see:\n") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "\thttps://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer\n") fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Flags:\n") flag.PrintDefaults() } func main() { log.SetFlags(0) log.SetPrefix("stringer: ") flag.Usage = Usage flag.Parse() if len(*typeNames) == 0 { flag.Usage() os.Exit(2) } types := strings.Split(*typeNames, ",") var tags []string if len(*buildTags) > 0 { tags = strings.Split(*buildTags, ",") } // We accept either one directory or a list of files.
