Overview

Package reflectish provides common reflection utilities that extend Go's standard "reflect" library.

It offers:

• IndirectDeep: recursively dereferences pointers until a non-pointer value is reached.
• LengthOf: returns the length of supported types (arrays, slices, maps, strings, channels), along with a boolean indicating support.

Usage:

import "github.com/amberpixels/abu/reflectish"

// Deeply dereference pointers
val := reflect.ValueOf(&&myStruct)
root := reflectish.IndirectDeep(val)

// Get length of a slice, map, etc.
length, ok := reflectish.LengthOf([]int{1,2,3})
if ok {
    fmt.Println("Length:", length)
}

Package reflectish is intended as a lightweight helper for reflection-based operations.

Package reflectish contains helpers that extends standard reflect library
