Overview

The avrogo command generates Go types for the Avro schemas specified on the command line. Each schema file results in a Go file with the same basename but with a ".go" suffix.

Type names within different schemas may refer to one another; for example to put a shared definition in a separate .avsc file.

Usage:

usage: avrogo [flags] schema-file...
  -d string
    	directory to write Go files to (default ".")
  -p string
    	package name (defaults to $GOPACKAGE)
  -t	generated files will have _test.go suffix
  -map string
    	map from Avro namespace to Go package.

By default, a type is generated for each Avro definition in the schema. Some additional metadata fields are recognized:

- If a definition has a "go.package" metadata field, the type from that package will be used instead. - If a definition has a "go.name" metadata field, the associated string will be used for the Go type name.
