调研方向

Start by reading the docgen command logic and the config structs in the internal/config package, then review the discussion on PR #406. Compare the current AST-based approach with the reflection proposal in this issue. Done means the simpler approach has been assessed and the generated documentation still works correctly.

描述

documentation

The docgen command logic is quite complicated (AST, ahhh). I didn't do a full audit but I did run it locally and seems like it works well. My only feedback is I think we could consider a different approach that is a bit simpler.
My understanding is we're parsing files within the internal/config package and using AST to detect config structs and parse through it.

I wonder if it's easier to use the reflect package to traverse the main Config struct. I'll share a snippet below, maybe it can be helpful if you want to explore this approach. Happy to just merge this for now and reiterate later.

See https://github.com/hookdeck/outpost/pull/406#pullrequestreview-2872006658

func parseWithReflection() error {
	cfg := config.Config{} // Create an instance of the actual Config struct
	cfg.InitDefaults()     // Initialize it with default values

	// Start the recursive traversal
	fmt.Println("\n--- Starting Reflection-Based Parsing ---")
	parseTypeRecursive(reflect.TypeOf(cfg), reflect.ValueOf(cfg), "", 0)
	fmt.Println("--- Finished Reflection-Based Parsing ---")

	return nil
}

func parseTypeRecursive(typ reflect.Type, val reflect.Value, pathPrefix string, indentLevel int) {
	// If 'val' is a pointer, dereference it to get the actual struct value.
	// Also, update 'typ' to be the type of the dereferenced value.
	if val.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
		if val.IsNil() { // Important: can't proceed if the pointer is nil
			indent := strings.Repeat("  ", indentLevel)
			fmt.Printf("%sStruct: %s (Path: %s) is a <nil pointer>\n", indent, typ.String(), pathPrefix)
			return
		}
		val = val.Elem()
		typ = val.Type() // Update typ to the element's type
	}

	// Ensure we are dealing with a struct.
	if val.Kind() != reflect.Struct {
		// This can happen if a field is a basic type, slice, map, etc.,
		// and a recursive call was made on it.
		// Or if the initial call wasn't a struct or pointer to struct.
		return
	}
	// typ should now definitely be a struct type because val is a struct value.

	indent := strings.Repeat("  ", indentLevel)
	fmt.Printf("%sStruct: %s (Path: %s)\n", indent, typ.Name(), pathPrefix) // typ.Name() is fine here

	configPkgPath := reflect.TypeOf(config.Config{}).PkgPath() // For checking recursion scope

	for i := 0; i < typ.NumField(); i++ {
		fieldDesc := typ.Field(i) // reflect.StructField - describes the field
		fieldVal := val.Field(i)  // reflect.Value - holds the runtime value of this field

		currentPath := fieldDesc.Name
		if pathPrefix != "" {
			currentPath = pathPrefix + "." + fieldDesc.Name
		}

		fmt.Printf("%s  Field: %s (Type: %s, Path: %s)\n", indent, fieldDesc.Name, fieldDesc.Type.String(), currentPath)
		fmt.Printf("%s    YAML: '%s', Env: '%s', Desc: '%s', Required: '%s'\n",
			indent,
			fieldDesc.Tag.Get("yaml"),
			fieldDesc.Tag.Get("env"),
			fieldDesc.Tag.Get("desc"),
			fieldDesc.Tag.Get("required"))

		// Correctly use fieldVal to get the current value
		var currentValueInterface interface{}
		if fieldVal.CanInterface() { // Check if the field is exported
			currentValueInterface = fieldVal.Interface()
			if fieldVal.Kind() == reflect.Ptr && fieldVal.IsNil() {
				currentValueInterface = "<nil pointer>"
			}
		} else {
			currentValueInterface = "<unexported field>"
		}
		fmt.Printf("%s    Current Value: %v\n", indent, currentValueInterface)

		// --- Recursive Call Logic ---
		// We need the type of the field for recursion checks, and the value for the next call.
		fieldTypeForRecursion := fieldDesc.Type
		fieldValueForRecursion := fieldVal

		// Determine the actual element type if fieldTypeForRecursion is a pointer
		actualFieldTypeForCheck := fieldTypeForRecursion
		if actualFieldTypeForCheck.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
			actualFieldTypeForCheck = actualFieldTypeForCheck.Elem()
		}

		if actualFieldTypeForCheck.Kind() == reflect.Struct {
			if actualFieldTypeForCheck.PkgPath() == configPkgPath {
				// Pass the field's type and the field's value to the recursive call.
				parseTypeRecursive(fieldTypeForRecursion, fieldValueForRecursion, currentPath, indentLevel+1)
			} else {
				fmt.Printf("%s    (Skipping recursion into struct from different package: %s from %s)\n", indent, actualFieldTypeForCheck.Name(), actualFieldTypeForCheck.PkgPath())
			}
		}
