Function Goify

codegen/goify.go:16–38

Goify makes a valid Go identifier out of any string. It does that by removing any non letter and non digit character and by making sure the first character is a letter or "_". Goify produces a "CamelCase" version of the string, if firstUpper is true the first character of the identifier is uppercase

(str string, firstUpper bool)

// firstUpper is true the first character of the identifier is uppercase
// otherwise it's lowercase.
func Goify(str string, firstUpper bool) string {
	// Optimize trivial case
	if str == "" {
		return ""
	}

	// Remove optional suffix that defines corresponding transport specific
	// name.
	idx := strings.Index(str, ":")
	if idx > 0 {
		str = str[:idx]
	}

	str = CamelCase(str, firstUpper, true)
	if str == "" {
		// All characters are invalid. Produce a default value.
		if firstUpper {
			return "Val"
		}
		return "val"
	}
	return fixReservedGo(str)
}

// GoifyAtt honors any struct:field:name meta set on the attribute and calls
// Goify with the tag value if present or the given name otherwise.
