Is it possible to set to automatically ignore non-existent fields

Have you read the project readme?

• [x] Yes, but it does not include related information regarding my question.
• [x] Yes, but the steps described do not work.
• [x] Yes, but I am having difficulty understanding it and want clarification.

Describe your question A clear and concise description of what the question is. Include errors and go source files.

type In struct {
    Name      string
    Age       int
    OtherMiss string
}

type Out struct {
    Id       int
    Name     string
    Age      int
    Password string
}

// goverter:converter
type Converter interface {
    // InToOut 转换 *In 到 *Out
    // goverter:ignoreMissSource
    // goverter:ignore OtherMiss
    InToOut(source *In) (*Out, error)
    // InToOut2 转换 *Out 到 *In
    // goverter:ignoreMissTarget
    // goverter:ignore Id Password
    InToOut2(source *In) (*Out, error)
    // InToOut3 转换 *In 到 *Out
    // goverter:ignoreMissAll
    InToOut3(source *In) (*Out, error)
    // InToOut4 转换 *In 到 *Out
    // goverter:only Name
    InToOut4(source *In) (*Out, error)
}

In the above conversion, I only want to convert Age Name

It is recommended to add 4 annotations

1. ignoreMissSource Indicates ignoring fields missing from the source relative to the target, including: Out.Id Out.Password So InToOut() needs to add goverter:ignore OtherMiss
2. ignoreMissTarget Indicates to ignore fields missing from the target relative to the source, including: In.OtherMiss So InToOut2() needs to add goverter:ignore Id goverter:ignore Password
3. ignoreMissAll Indicates ignoring fields that do not match on both sides, including: In.OtherMiss Out.Id Out.Password So InToOut3() does not need to add the goverter:ignore annotation
4. goverter:only Indicates that only the selected fields will be converted, other fields will be ignored So InToOut4 only: Name will be converted, other fields will be ignored

This will greatly reduce the workload of writing goverter:ignore annotations, which is very helpful to improve efficiency

ignoreMissTarget is currently the default, goverter doesn't error when the target struct misses fields that are present on the source struct. ignoreMissSource seems like a duplicate of https://github.com/jmattheis/goverter/issues/23

Could you give a real use-case for goverter:only?

goverter:only doesn't seem to be necessary

23 seems to provide the default, I don't think this is a good choice, it should be manually confirmed by the user to let them know what happened.

But their functions are similar

ignoreMissAll is a long awaited feature
