tmpl

Example: Text Template

The text template example uses a .tmpl template to match three models.

./domain/domain.go

// Package domain contains business logic models.
package domain

// Account represents a user account.
type Account struct {
	ID     int
	UserID int
	Name   string
	Other  string // The other field is not used.
}

./models/model.go

// Package models contains data storage models (i.e database).
package models

// Account represents the data model for account.
type Account struct {
	ID       int
	Name     string
	Password string
	Email    string
}

// A User represents the data model for a user.
type User struct {
	UserID   int
	Name     int
	UserData string
}

	ModelsToDomain(*models.Account, *models.User) *domain.Account
}

/* Define the function and field this converter is applied to using regex. */
// convert .* models.User.UserID
// Itoa converts an integer to an ascii value.
func Itoa(i int) string {
	return c.Itoa(i)
}
