Feature request: Improve reflection support
rFronteddu opened this issue · comments
I am no expert on reflection in go but I was wondering if you had any plan to support reflection for base types such as the example that follows. I was surprised to have to use a custom parser (albeit a simple one) to parse a list of string and integers.
list bar {
key foo;
leaf foo {
type int32 {
range "0..120";
}
}
leaf baz {
type string;
}
}
Lists are hard, but I think if everything lined up, reflection would handle
that, but i am not sure. I have found that reflection really is one of
the most important parts and I am committed to any motion to improve it.
There was a contribution for registering for field base types that might
help you

I will be studying reflection in Golang soon. If I have some time I will try to cook something.
Help would be appreciated, even if it is just reporting github issues like:
This would work:
{insert YANG here}
from:
{insert go code here}
Go reflection is tricky, but the bigger challenge by far is all the
variations that are inherent with trying to coerce data from code to a
fixed schema. In addition, I've used a lot of serializers that are messy
and confusing and this is an area I'll have a lot of opinions on.
