# astcast
|
|
|
|
Package astcast wraps type assertion operations in such way that you don't have
|
|
to worry about nil pointer results anymore.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
go get -v github.com/go-toolsmith/astcast
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/go-toolsmith/astcast"
|
|
"github.com/go-toolsmith/strparse"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
x := strparse.Expr(`(foo * bar) + 1`)
|
|
|
|
// x type is ast.Expr, we want to access bar operand
|
|
// that is a RHS of the LHS of the addition.
|
|
// Note that addition LHS (X field) is has parenthesis,
|
|
// so we have to remove them too.
|
|
|
|
add := astcast.ToBinaryExpr(x)
|
|
mul := astcast.ToBinaryExpr(astcast.ToParenExpr(add.X).X)
|
|
bar := astcast.ToIdent(mul.Y)
|
|
fmt.Printf("%T %s\n", bar, bar.Name) // => *ast.Ident bar
|
|
|
|
// If argument has different dynamic type,
|
|
// non-nil sentinel object of requested type is returned.
|
|
// Those sentinel objects are exported so if you need
|
|
// to know whether it was a nil interface value of
|
|
// failed type assertion, you can compare returned
|
|
// object with such a sentinel.
|
|
|
|
y := astcast.ToCallExpr(strparse.Expr(`x`))
|
|
if y == astcast.NilCallExpr {
|
|
fmt.Println("it is a sentinel, type assertion failed")
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Without `astcast`, you would have to do a lots of type assertions:
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
|
|
"github.com/go-toolsmith/strparse"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
x := strparse.Expr(`(foo * bar) + 1`)
|
|
|
|
add, ok := x.(*ast.BinaryExpr)
|
|
if !ok || add == nil {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
additionLHS, ok := add.X.(*ast.ParenExpr)
|
|
if !ok || additionLHS == nil {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
mul, ok := additionLHS.X.(*ast.BinaryExpr)
|
|
if !ok || mul == nil {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
bar, ok := mul.Y.(*ast.Ident)
|
|
if !ok || bar == nil {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
fmt.Printf("%T %s\n", bar, bar.Name)
|
|
}
|
|
```
