Here's a variant of the previous example using the Encoder: + +```go +var encoder = schema.NewEncoder() + +func MyHttpRequest() { + person := Person{"Jane Doe", "555-5555"} + form := url.Values{} + + err := encoder.Encode(person, form) + + if err != nil { + // Handle error + } + + // Use form values, for example, with an http client + client := new(http.Client) + res, err := client.PostForm("http://my-api.test", form) +} + +``` + +To define custom names for fields, use a struct tag "schema". To not populate certain fields, use a dash for the name and it will be ignored: + +```go +type Person struct { + Name string `schema:"name"` // custom name + Phone string `schema:"phone"` // custom name + Admin bool `schema:"-"` // this field is never set +} +``` + +The supported field types in the struct are: + +* bool +* float variants (float32, float64) +* int variants (int, int8, int16, int32, int64) +* string +* uint variants (uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64) +* struct +* a pointer to one of the above types +* a slice or a pointer to a slice of one of the above types + +Unsupported types are simply ignored, however custom types can be registered to be converted. + +More examples are available on the Gorilla website: http://www.gorillatoolkit.org/pkg/schema + +## License + +BSD licensed.
