A golang library for recursively merging data

go-merge

go-merge is a golang library for recursively merging data. It will merge and overwrite maps, structs, and other basic golang types as long as the base data and the override data are of a similar structure.

Usage

To use this package first you must install it:

go get github.com/divideandconquer/go-merge/merge

Then you can import it in your code and use it as follows:

package main

import (
	"log"
	"github.com/divideandconquer/go-merge/merge"
)

func main() {
	baseData := make(map[string]string)
	baseData["test"] = "foo"
	baseData["test2"] = "bar"

	overrideData := make(map[string]string)
	overrideData["test2"] = "override"

	result := merge.Merge(baseData, overrideData)

	log.Printf("%#v", result) // prints: map[string]string{"test":"foo", "test2":"override"}
}

For more examples of usage check the unit tests.
