Overview

Package ats (= any to string) provides functions to Get a string from 'anything' (= interface{})

ats observes different conventions of 'things' (=objects) to do so:

stringer: String() - fmt.Stringer & friends
string:   string   - builtin type
namer:    Name()   - filepath.File & .FileInfo, text/template.Template ...
geter:    Get()    - do/Value
ider:     Id()     - ...

The different Get-functions just use a different sequence of attempts to obtain a meaningful string from interface{}, and return the best/first, or -as a last resort- a constant string such as "<not a Xyz>"

Types

type Friendly

type Friendly interface {
	GetString() string // fmt.Stringer & friends
	GetName() string   // filepath.File & .FileInfo, text/template.Template ...
	GetGet() string    // do/Value
	GetId() string     // ...
}

Friendly - my interface - exposed for godoc - only ;-)

I love to be friendly - thus: I observe different popular API's to convert anything to a meaningful text string
