string to io.ReadCloser

stringToReaderCloser.go

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	r := io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader("Hello, world!")) // r type is io.ReadCloser

	// example to test r
	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)

	n, err := buf.ReadFrom(r)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		os.Exit(1)
	}

	r.Close()

	s := buf.String()
	fmt.Printf("%d bytes read, %q\r\n", n, s)
}

To avoid string to []byte conversation better use strings.NewReader()

package main

import (
	"bytes"
        "strings"
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
)

func main() {
	r := ioutil.NopCloser(strings.NewReader("hello world")) // r type is io.ReadCloser
	
	// example to test r
	buf := new(bytes.Buffer)
	buf.ReadFrom(r)
	r.Close()
	s := buf.String()
	fmt.Println(s)
}

Perfect! Thanks for posting this.

Awesome 👍

Thanks a lot!

As ioutil is now deprecated, it's better to use a same-named method from io:

r := io.NopCloser(strings.NewReader("hello world"))
