漂亮的打印golang变量

Question

Is there something like Ruby's awesome_print in Golang?

For example in ruby you could write:

require 'ap'
x = {a:1,b:2} // also works for class
ap x

the output would be:

{ 
  "a" => 1,
  "b" => 2
}

closest thing that I could found is Printf("%#v", x)

Answer 1

If your goal is to avoid importing a third-party package, your other option is to use json.MarshalIndent:

x := map[string]interface{}{"a": 1, "b": 2}
b, err := json.MarshalIndent(x, "", "  ")
if err != nil {
    fmt.Println("error:", err)
}
fmt.Print(string(b))

Output:

{
    "a": 1,
    "b": 2
}
