Is there an alternative for nameof
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/nameof>
in golang.
I don't want reflection magic.
Use case is to avoid log messages, validation etc to go out of sync with
code changes:
func foo(correctParamName string) (interface{}, error){
if len(correctParamName) == 0{
return nil, errors.New("crypticParamNameFixedAfterCodeReview is
empty")
}
}
Much better with
return nil, errors.New(nameof(crypticParamNameFixedAfterCodeReview) + " is
empty") // compile error unless this is also changed to match the param
name.
Something as simple as nameof else it would be an overkill for the use case.
