I've tried to identify a struct with string value(name).
reflect.TypeOf returns Type.
But type assertion needs a type.
How can I casting Type to type?
Or any suggestion to handle it?

package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
type Article struct {
Id int64 `json:"id"`
Title string `json:"title",sql:"size:255"`
Content string `json:"content"`
}
func IdentifyItemType(name string) interface{} {
var item interface{}
switch name {
default:
item = Article{}
}
return item
}
func main() {
i := IdentifyItemType("name")
item := i.(Article)
fmt.Printf("Hello, item : %v
", item)
item2 := i.(reflect.TypeOf(i)) // reflect.TypeOf(i) is not a type
fmt.Printf("Hello, item2 : %v
", item2)
}
