I have struct Config which consist of Field SliceOfAnotherStruct which contained the slice of pointer to AnotherStruct.
Here how could I get the json tag for field Bank in AnotherStruct.
type Config struct {
SliceOfAnotherStruct []*AnotherStruct `bson:"anotherStruct" json:"anotherStruct" validate:"required,dive,required"`
}
type AnotherStruct struct {
Name string `bson:"name" json:"name" validate:"required"`
Cost string `bson:"cost" json:"cost" validate:"required"`
Bank string `bson:"bank" json:"bank" validate:"required"`
IFSC string `bson:"ifsc" json:"ifsc" validate:"required"`
}
Create new variable using AnotherStruct
, then by using reflect try to get the Bank
field, after that you'll be able to get it's tag.
// new object created from struct AnotherStruct
obj := AnotherStruct{}
// getting `Bank` field information.
// the `FieldByName` function return two variables,
// 1. the field data
// 2. a boolean data, determines whether field is exists or not
bankField, ok := reflect.TypeOf(obj).FieldByName("Bank")
if ok {
// if the field is exists, then get the desired tag
jsonTagValue := bankField.Tag.Get("json")
fmt.Println(jsonTagValue) // bank
}
