如何为“类型MyString字符串”执行Go / Golang类型断言？

If I want to know whether a variable is of type string, I can do a type assertion:

S, OK:= value.(string)

If value is of type string, then OKis true, and S is the original value.

But this type assertion doesn't work for custom string types; for example:

type MyString string

For a variable of this type, the above type assertion returns false for OK.

How can I determine if a variable is of type string, or of an equivalent type, without a separate assertion for each such equivalent type?

You cannot perform a type assertion or a type switch to a string, as the exact type does not match. The closest you can get is to use the reflect package and check the value's Kind:

var S string
ref := reflect.ValueOf(value)
if ref.Kind() == reflect.String {
    S = ref.String()
}

Why you use an assertion, it's for interfaces. Try conversion like:

type MyString string

var s MyString = "test"
var t string

t = string(s)
