Function NewGolangParser

convert.go:54–82

NewGolangParser returns a new GoParser object. This object is responsible for converting Go types into the intermediate typescript AST representation. All configuration of the GoParser should be done before calling 'ToTypescript'. For usage, see 'ExampleGeneration' in convert_test.go.
