Code generation tools for Go that create interfaces from types and structs from CSV files.
Interfaces is a Go toolkit providing command-line utilities for automated code generation. It includes tools to generate Go interfaces from existing types and create Go structs with CSV marshaling/unmarshaling from CSV files. This automates repetitive boilerplate coding tasks, reducing manual effort and potential errors in Go development.
Go developers who frequently need to create interface definitions for existing types or generate type-safe structs from CSV data. It is particularly useful for those working on projects involving mocking, testing, or data processing from CSV sources.
Developers choose Interfaces for its focused, Unix-like tools that integrate seamlessly with Go's toolchain, including go:generate. It offers automated type inference from CSV data and generates production-ready code with proper error handling, which saves time compared to manual implementation or using more generic code generators.
Code generation tools for Go.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Generates complete interface definitions from any named Go type, including all exported methods, which saves time and reduces manual errors in listing methods.
Infers Go field types from CSV headers and data, and automatically adds MarshalCSV/UnmarshalCSV methods, providing ready-to-use serialization for CSV files.
Supports //go:generate directives, allowing automated code generation as part of the standard Go build process for seamless workflow integration.
Allows specifying custom interface/struct names, output files, and adding struct tags like JSON, enabling easy adaptation to project needs.
The structer tool only supports CSV files, lacking native support for other common formats like JSON or XML, which may require additional tooling or manual work.
Type inference from CSV data can be error-prone with ambiguous or complex data, potentially leading to incorrect Go types that need manual verification and correction.
Requires separate installation and updates of command-line tools via go install, which can complicate setup in team environments or CI/CD pipelines compared to integrated dependencies.
