Interfaces and Go. A bit confused.

    Hello,

    I am currently learning Go and looking at interfaces right now.

    To say the least I am a little confused. I do understand how it works generally but I'm not entirely sure how things are linked etc regarding mock and complete implementations for example.

    Example: I have an API interface. I then have a Go file with a full implementation. After that I created a Config struct. The full implementation is based on Config therefore Config implements API.

    My question is, when I am want to create a Mock what do I do? How would that look.

    Does anybody have any real life examples of this. Not just a simple Cirlce, Square etc implementing Shape :)

    Thanks in advance.

    Do you want to write your Mocks by hand? The GoMock framework has a mockgen tool to generate mock interfaces for a given source file.
