The title basically says it all..
Can I create a Go method that returns another Go method, at runtime? A simple example:
type Person struct {
name string
age uint
}
func (p Person) createGetNameMethod() /*return signature is a method for Person*/ {
return /*return a new anonymous method here for Person*/
}
>Solution :
Are Go methods first class functions?
Yes, they are.
Can I create a Golang method that returns another Golang method […]?
Yes, of course.
[Can I] return a new anonymous method [?]
No, of course not.
The set of methods is determined at compile time. Methods are normal, first class functions, but they cannot be changed or created during runtime:
-
You can return a method that exists in the method set, but you cannot add one to the method set.
-
Reflection allows something like that but not in your case.
