Embedded methods doubt

[bushi]

Hello all,
how i do an generic embedded method?

in the next e.g.:

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"fmt"
)

type AType struct {
	Name string
}

func (a AType) String() string {
	str, _ := json.Marshal(&a)
	return string(str)
}

type Btype struct {
	AType
	OtherString string
}

func main() {
	b := Btype{AType: AType{"xname"}, OtherString: "other"}
	fmt.Println(b)
}

the console output is

 {"xname"}

but i expect

{"xname", "other"}

i know i can overload the method in the b struct, but how i do a generic method in AType for use in all child structs

You cannot. There is no mechanism for one type embedded in another to be aware of the fact it is embedded.

You may have wanted to embed the structure with a field name then if you declare
type Btype struct {
Astruct AType
OtherString string
}
with the assignment b := Btype{Astruct: AType{“xname”}, OtherString: “other”}
the output is close to what you asked {{“Name”:“xname”} other}
