reflect.NumField() Function in Golang with Examples
Last Updated :
03 May, 2020
Go language provides inbuilt support implementation of run-time reflection and allowing a program to manipulate objects with arbitrary types with the help of reflect package. The reflect.NumField() Function in Golang is used to get the number of fields in the struct v. To access this function, one needs to imports the reflect package in the program.
Syntax:
func (v Value) NumField() int
Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter.
Return Value: This function returns the number of fields in the struct v.
Below examples illustrate the use of the above method in Golang:
Example 1:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
func main() {
tt:= reflect.StructOf([]reflect.StructField{
{
Name: "Height" ,
Type: reflect.TypeOf(0.0),
Tag: `json: "height" `,
},
{
Name: "Name" ,
Type: reflect.TypeOf( "abc" ),
Tag: `json: "name" `,
},
})
fmt.Println(tt.NumField())
}
|
Output:
2
Example 2:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
type temp struct {
ord int
cId int
}
func useKind(val interface{}) {
if reflect.ValueOf(val ).Kind() == reflect.Struct {
v := reflect.ValueOf(val )
fmt.Println( "Number of fields" , v.NumField())
for i := 0; i < v.NumField(); i++ {
fmt.Printf( "Field: %d \t type: %T \t value: %v\n" ,
i, v.Field(i), v.Field(i))
}
}
}
func main() {
val := temp {
ord: 1,
cId: 513,
}
useKind(val)
}
|
Output:
Number of fields 2
Field: 0 type: reflect.Value value: 1
Field: 1 type: reflect.Value value: 513
