The "url" key in the struct // field's tag value is the key name, followed by an optional comma and // options. For example: // // // Field is ignored by this package. // Field int `url:"-"` // // // Field appears as URL parameter "myName". // Field int `url:"myName"` // // // Field appears as URL parameter "myName" and the field is omitted if // // its value is empty // Field int `url:"myName,omitempty"` // // // Field appears as URL parameter "Field" (the default), but the field // // is skipped if empty. Note the leading comma. // Field int `url:",omitempty"` // // For encoding individual field values, the following type-dependent rules // apply: // // Boolean values default to encoding as the strings "true" or "false". // Including the "int" option signals that the field should be encoded as the // strings "1" or "0". // // time.Time values default to encoding as RFC3339 timestamps. Including the // "unix" option signals that the field should be encoded as a Unix time (see // time.Unix()) // // Slice and Array values default to encoding as multiple URL values of the // same name. Including the "comma" option signals that the field should be // encoded as a single comma-delimited value. Including the "space" option // similarly encodes the value as a single space-delimited string. // // Anonymous struct fields are usually encoded as if their inner exported // fields were fields in the outer struct, subject to the standard Go // visibility rules. An anonymous struct field with a name given in its URL // tag is treated as having that name, rather than being anonymous. // // Non-nil pointer values are encoded as the value pointed to. // // All other values are encoded using their default string representation. // // Multiple fields that encode to the same URL parameter name will be included // as multiple URL values of the same name. func Values(v interface{}) (url.Values, error) { val := reflect.ValueOf(v) for val.Kind() == reflect.Ptr { if val.IsNil() { return nil, errors.New("query: Values() expects non-nil value") } val = val.Elem() } if val.Kind() != reflect.Struct { return nil, fmt.Errorf("query: Values() expects struct input.
