Hello, I am looking for a way to get the typeinfo of a private struct so I can cast an interface to the wanted type.
I am aware that I can for example use reflection or an interface to get like a string representation of the type and then make a string switch, but I am looking for a build in way or just a better/best way in general.
// package A
type Example interface{
DoSmth()
}
// package B
type person struct {
age int
name string
}
func NewPerson(name string, age int) *person {
return &person{age, name}
}
// implement Example interface
func (obj *person) DoSmth() {
}
// package C
func Casting(inter A.Example) {
switch inter.(type) {
case *B.person: // <---- Does not work since its private
temp := inter.(*B.person) // <---- Does not work
}
}
Thanks in advance!
