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.
