gotree

gotree is a library to output tree like string slices in your Go program.

Its use is focused on logging out settings in a 💅 way.

Usage

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "strings"

    "github.com/qdm12/gotree"
)

func main() {
    settings := Settings{
        LogLevel: 2,
        Server: ServerSettings{
            Address: ":8000",
            Debug:   true,
        },
    }
    fmt.Println(settings)
}

type Settings struct {
    LogLevel int
    Server   ServerSettings
}

type ServerSettings struct {
    Address string
    Debug   bool
}

func (s Settings) String() string {
    return strings.Join(s.toNode().ToLines(), "\n")
}

func (s Settings) toNode() *gotree.Node {
    node := gotree.New("Settings:")
    node.Appendf("Log level: %d", s.LogLevel)
    node.AppendNode(s.Server.toNode())
    return node
}

func (s ServerSettings) toNode() *gotree.Node {
    node := gotree.New("Server settings:")
    node.Appendf("Address: %s", s.Address)
    node.Appendf("Debug: %t", s.Debug)
    return node
}

Will print out

Settings:
├── Log level: 2
└── Server settings:
    ├── Address: :8000
    └── Debug: true
