Can different custom packages for key and value is possible?

[sneko]

Hi @a8m ,

Currently using a basic

syncmap -name UserChannelsMap -pkg xmap -o ./types/xmap/user_channels_map.go "map[string]string"

will work.

If I want to use a custom type:

syncmap -name UserChannelsMap -pkg xmap -o ./types/xmap/user_channels_map.go "map[string]*UserChannelList"

I need to make sure UserChannelList is in the same package than the one exported for the file (here xmap). I could arrange myself to do so, but it brings some complexity.

Last case, I want to use like an "enum" for the keys, in my case it's defined in my own constant package, how could I deal with this? From what I understand it's not possible, the syncmap would have to manage some add of imports, no?

syncmap -name UserChannelsMap -pkg xmap -o ./types/xmap/user_channels_map.go "map[constant.NameID]*UserChannelList"

Maybe I missed something 🤔

Thank you,

EDIT: a workaround could be that aside my exported file (having package xmap) I could declare type aliases for both the key and the value types, like:

import ...

type NameID = constant.NameID
type UserChannelList = entity.UserChannelList

EDIT2: in all cases, I should make sure it won't bring circular loop if the XXXMap was needed in one of those packages ^^

I can to ask essentially the same thing. It would be really nice to use custom types and having a means of unambiguously specifying said types (.e.g, by specifying the package name somehow).
