Is there any way to generate avro schema file using go struct? about avro HOT 10 CLOSED

Nothing like this existing in this library.

A method would be to use reflect to parse the struct an make the required Schema. From there you could JSON marshal it into a schema string.

from avro.

I have a code for that. From Go Struct to avro.Schema and vice versa.
@nrwiersma Do you have any interest to include this feature in the library ?

By the way, in my implementation I'm loosing the properties.
As a avro.Field is not a avro.Schema, the properties belong to the field and not to the type of the field which is a avro.Schema
Any idea on that?

from avro.

@TuSKan The library already has Schema -> Struct in cmd/avrogen. I would gladly accept Struct -> Schema, perhaps in cmd/schemagen?

By the way, in my implementation I'm loosing the properties.

The fields should maintain the properties as it inherits the properties struct, like most Schemas (not all Schemas can have properties), but like most Schemas, we dont marshal it back to JSON. It should be possible to do though. Check MarshalJSON.

from avro.

can anyone share any example?

from avro.

My problem is different from avrogen, I need to generate a Go Struct as a reflect.Type dynamically to Encode or Decode in runtime, rather than have a code gen to use further.

I looked to MarshalJSON, as you mention there is no properties there.

Why a avro.Field is not a avro.Schema ? Just missings a Fingerprint...

These are the properties on the Field: https://github.com/hamba/avro/blob/main/schema.go#L537

The Field is not a Schema by spec.

There is no need to create a struct on the fly, and you can just decode/encoder from a map[string]any.

I build a recursive func for avro.Schema, so for avro.RecordSchema I lose the properties of the Field. A Fingerprint method for Field doesn't make sense?

mp[string]any is not a option to me. I work with huge files and databases, I need to have a real schema.

from avro.

Fields are not Schemas, regardless of the fingerprint. Assuming you parsed a non-canonical schema, any properties of the Field still exist and are accessible in the same way they are on a Schema.

@iyashjayesh let me know if this code helps you

Closing as this is not a planned feature of the library.
