NewStruct() reform.Struct

[eaglemoor]

Why NewStruct return reform.Struct if we have our struct, which implement reform.Struct?

Because NewStruct() *Foo doesn't match signature NewStruct() reform.Struct, therefor *FooTable will not implement reform.View interface.

[eaglemoor]

I think that a particular table or twist must return a specific model, rather than an abstract. This is logical and convenient for the further use of this structure.

// foo is Foo, not reform.Struct
foo := FooView.NewStruct()

func useFoo(f Foo) {
}

It will not work in Go. For example, see https://github.com/AlekSi/reform/blob/master/querier_selects.go#L67 Here we need reform.View, and *FooView will not implement it (see my previous comment).

In you case you need this:

var foo Foo

That's it, no need to use NewStruct().
