Go Type conversions Testing Interface Implementation
Example
As Go uses implicit interface implementation, you will not get a compile-time error if your struct does not implement an interface you had intended to implement. You can test the implementation explicitly using type casting: type MyInterface interface { Thing() }
type MyImplementer struct {}
func (m MyImplementer) Thing() {
fmt.Println("Huzzah!")
}
// Interface is implemented, no error. Variable name _ causes value to be ignored.
var _ MyInterface = (*MyImplementer)nil
type MyNonImplementer struct {}
// Compile-time error - cannot case because interface is not implemented.
var _ MyInterface = (*MyNonImplementer)nil
