golang print echo.Context values

I'm brand new to Go and trying to inspect a method argument. I've got the following code

func (c *controller) OrderNew(ctx echo.Context) error {

When I try either:

    fmt.println(ctx)
    fmt.Printf("%v \n", ctx)

I get 

&{0xc4200f21e0 0xc4202302d0 /order [] [] map[] 0x4092860 map[site_key:2] 0xc4200bb6c0}

I realize *controller is a pointer and the values returned contain addresses, but not sure how to really debug or inspect further. I also see functions called on cxt like 

ctx.Get and ctx.Render

which I realize are functions in echo.Context

Any help/clarification is appreciated. Thanks!

  • https://echo.labstack.com/guide/context is an excellent source for looking into echo.

  • offline there is godoc functionality, which helps with understanding any package(which is downloaded in your machine). In your case this can be done, godoc github.com/labstack/echo Context on your command line.

  • There are GOTO functionalities many editors that lets you see the library source, while you are coding, https://github.com/fatih/vim-go, https://github.com/DisposaBoy/GoSublime are such examples. What they allow you to do is to navigate these functions and structs to the point where they are defined. Hopefully, someone will have written, a crisp documentary comment there.

  • if all you want is to watch the execution of your code, you can use debugging tools, like delve https://github.com/derekparker/delve.
