#  Export: Go

Generates Go `struct` types from the data contract.

{/* AUTOGENERATED EXAMPLE: do not edit by hand; regenerate with the update script. */}

```bash
datacontract export go orders.odcs.yaml --output orders.go
```

Running this against the [example `orders` contract](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/blob/main/examples/orders/orders.odcs.yaml) produces:

```go
package main

type Orders struct {
    OrderId string `json:"order_id" avro:"order_id"`  // Unique identifier of the order.
    OrderTimestamp time.Time `json:"order_timestamp" avro:"order_timestamp"`  // Timestamp when the order was placed.
    CustomerId string `json:"customer_id" avro:"customer_id"`  // Reference to the customer who placed the order.
    OrderTotal float64 `json:"order_total" avro:"order_total"`  // Total amount of the order in cents.
    Status string `json:"status" avro:"status"`  // Current fulfilment status of the order.
}

type LineItems struct {
    LineItemId string `json:"line_item_id" avro:"line_item_id"`  // Unique identifier of the line item.
    OrderId string `json:"order_id" avro:"order_id"`  // Reference to the parent order.
    Sku string `json:"sku" avro:"sku"`  // Stock keeping unit of the purchased product.
    Quantity int `json:"quantity" avro:"quantity"`  // Number of units purchased.
}
```
