Call a Struct and its Method by name in Go?

by

To call a method on an object, first use reflect.ValueOf. Then find the method by name, and then finally call the found method. For example:

package main

import "fmt"
import "reflect"

type T struct {}

func (t *T) Foo() {
    fmt.Println("foo")
}

func main() {
    var t T
    reflect.ValueOf(&t).MethodByName("Foo").Call([]reflect.Value{})
}
