I found this question with this great answers:
How to find a type of a object in Golang?
I played around with the answer and tried to get the name of a struct in
The problem is new
returns pointer, following should get the desired result.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
type Ab struct {
}
func getType(myvar interface{}) {
valueOf := reflect.ValueOf(myvar)
if valueOf.Type().Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
fmt.Println(reflect.Indirect(valueOf).Type().Name())
} else {
fmt.Println(valueOf.Type().Name())
}
}
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, playground")
tst := "string"
tst2 := 10
tst3 := 1.2
tst4 := new(Ab)
getType(tst)
getType(tst2)
getType(tst3)
getType(tst4)
}
Output is
Hello, playground
string
int
float64
Ab
