Golang REquest Binder

An automated golang HTTP Request to struct binding. Why it exist? I don't know, i just think it will be better if we automate request binding and validation process doesn't it?

How to use

You need to create a new file with .greb extension. The greb extension is optional, but maybe we should stick with it shall we? To install the package please use go get github.com/firmanmm/greb/cmd/greb. Use greb -h to show the help. To generate the golang file use greb --in=example/simple/simple.greb --out=example/simple/simple.greb.go. Here is a simple greb file definition. You should not mix form and json since it is all stored in the body.

package simple

request Simple {
    ID              query:int           validate:"required"
    GroupID         param:int           alias:"group_id"
    Name            form:string         validate:"required"
    Weight          json:float          alias:"weight"
    IsAlive         form:bool
    Authorization   header:string       validate:"required" alias:"x-authorization"
    SessionID       cookie:string
}
