reflect.Value.Interface: cannot return value obtained from unexported field or method

[prologic]

Hi,

I'm trying to use your librayr to generate a form for Config struct.

I get this error I don't quite know how to debug yet:

template: manage:10:18: executing "content" at <inputs_for .Config>: error calling inputs_for: reflect.Value.Interface: cannot return value obtained from unexported field or method

Here is what I'm trying to generate a form for:

Thanks!

the only two unexported fields in the Config struct (the lower case ones) are the baseURL and whiteListedDomains, make them uppercase and it should work. Ivan S Kirkpatrick, PE <ivank2139@tessaract.net>, 850 778 2139 Tessaract Inc. <http://www.tessaract.net> 415 580 2139

Those two fields are deliberately not exported. I kind of expected your library to ignore them? Also FWIW I decided in the end against using your library here to generate forms as the end result wasn't that great. I'm instead just opting for just a large textarea and allowing the user to edit the config as YAML. Sorry :/ I was hoping this library would generate checkboxes for booleans, dropdowns for choices and some way of handling slices. 🤷‍♂️

The library currently only supports what I needed when I built it. It certainly could support checkboxes and other similar features, and some of those could be handled with a custom template too, but it doesn't currently.

The unexported fields bit is a bug.

Hit the wrong button on mobile. Sorry. Reopening.

No worries :) Thanks!
