golang获取反射类型的类型

Question

Is it possible and how to get the reflect.Type of a type without creating an object from the type and calling on it reflect.TypeOf(obj)

What in java will be: MyType.class

Answer 1

You can achieve this without an instantiation with the following syntax;

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

type Test struct {
}


func main() {
    fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf((*Test)(nil)).Elem())
}

play; https://play.golang.org/p/SkmBNt5Js6

Also, it's demonstrated in the reflect example here; https://golang.org/pkg/reflect/#example_TypeOf
