Utilities

The structs/utils package holds the coercion helpers that turn a loosely-typed input value into a concrete field type. Binding uses them internally, and they are exported so you can convert values yourself, for example inside a custom rule.

import "github.com/toaweme/structs/utils"

func ToInt(value any) (int, error)

Coerces value to an int, parsing a numeric string and truncating a float.

func ToFloat(value any) (float64, error)

Coerces value to a float64, parsing a numeric string.

func ToString(value any) (string, error)

Coerces value to its string form.

func ParseBool(val string) bool

Parses a boolean from a string, accepting the usual truthy spellings. Unlike the others it returns no error, falling back to false.

func ToAnySlice(value any) ([]any, error)

Normalizes a slice value into []any, the shape the binder iterates when filling a slice field.
