Getters

Getters is a code generator tool for Go. It generates getter methods for structs with pointer fields.

Getters is a standalone version of gen-accessors from google/go-github. Aside from it's standalone, it's customizable too and has more primitive types support such as floats and uints.

type Pony struct {
	Name   *string
	Age    *int64
}

Generates...

func (p *Pony) GetAge() int64 {
	if p == nil || p.Age == nil {
		return 0
	}
	return *p.Age
}

func (p *Pony) GetName() string {
	if p == nil || p.Name == nil {
		return ""
	}
	return *p.Name
}
