Generate bindings for structs without fields
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I have a weird case where i have a struct that that doesn't have any fields and it's not generated in typescript.
That struct is used as a type in another struct.
type TypeA struct {
}
type TypeB struct {
Field *TypeA `json"field"`
}
When the typescript types are generated it outputs something similar to this (this was redacted)
export class TypeB {
// Go type: TypeA
field?: any;
static createFrom(source: any = {}) {
return new TypeB(source);
}
constructor(source: any = {}) {
if ('string' === typeof source) source = JSON.parse(source);
this.field = this.convertValues(source["field"], null);
}
convertValues(a: any, classs: any, asMap: boolean = false): any {
if (!a) {
return a;
}
if (a.slice) {
return (a as any[]).map(elem => this.convertValues(elem, classs));
} else if ("object" === typeof a) {
if (asMap) {
for (const key of Object.keys(a)) {
a[key] = new classs(a[key]);
}
return a;
}
return new classs(a);
}
return a;
}
}
On the Go side If have an object such as
obj := TypeB {
Field: nil,
}
then all is fine.
If the Go side I have an object such as
obj := TypeB {
Field: &TypeA{}
}
I get an error on the FE here this.field = this.convertValues(source["field"], null);
and here return new classs(a);
I'm assuming it's because passing null as class name to convertValues.
Unfortunately I can not add extra fields TypeA (I can explain more on this if needed)
Describe the solution you'd like
Wails to create a typescript type for TypeA even though without properties
Describe alternatives you've considered
None
Additional context
if it makes or doesn't have any negative impact I have a possible fix #3489
