As of spring 2015, please do not use this repo, instead use the code at https://github.com/mohae/utilitybelt/tree/master/deepcopy as this is no longer actively maintained and the code within has been moved to github.com/mohae/utilitybelt/deepcopy. Most of the slice copies in that version have been elided as they were written before I realized that there was a builtin copy func to copy slices.
Use:
import github.com/mohae/utilitybelt/deepcopy
and:
go get github.com/mohae/utilitybelt/deepcopy
Deep Copy is useful when one wants more than the pointer.
Functions are implemented as needed.
Iface(iface interface{}) interface{}
InterfaceToSliceInts(v interface{}) []int
InterfaceToSliceStrings(v interface{}) []string
MapStringInterface(m map[string]interface{}) map[string]interface{}
SliceInts(i []int) []int
SliceStrings(s []string) []string
__Iface__ will take almost any interface{} and return a deep copy of it as an interface{}. This handles structs too. Please check the `copyRecursive` function to see details of what is handled.
__MapStringInterface()__ supports interfaces of:
* []int
* []string
* map[string]interface{}
