Is it possible to have multiple receivers on a single function? In other words, a single function can belong to two or more structs?
Say I have
type Struct1 struct {
foo.Client
}
func CreateClient() struct1 {
return struct1{
ClientID: cId,
// ...
}
}
func (s *Struct1) MyFunc( // ... ) {}
But I also want to be able to associate MyFunc with another struct (different package):
type Struct2 struct {
lgr log.logger
}
func NewStruct2 (l *log.logger) (*Struct2, err) {
return &Struct2{mylog: *l}, nil
}
So what I want to actually have is:
func (s1 *Struct1, s2 *Struct2) MyFunc( // ... ) {}

"Is it possible to have multiple receivers on a single function?" -- It is not possible.
https://golang.org/ref/spec#Method_declarations
The receiver is specified via an extra parameter section preceding the
method name. That parameter section must declare a single non-variadic
parameter, the receiver.

I want to include different structure pointer fields in the map as shown below. (Of course the code below doesnt work)
type StructA struct {
}
type StructB struct {
}
mymap := map[string]*struct{}{
"StructA": StructA,
"StructB": StructB,
}
As #icza said the element type of a map must be a specific type. But this could be an interface that can store an object of different types. The type any (an alias for interface{} is in some ways like a pointer (though it also stores type info), so you could just do:
mymap := map[string]inteface{}{
"StructA": StructA{},
"StructB": StructB{},
}
To be a little safer you can restrict the types that can be added to the map to just the two structs. To do this you need an interface which specifies a function that both the struct types implement.
type (
Common interface{ ImplementsCommon() }
A struct{}
B struct{}
)
func (A) ImplementsCommon() {}
func (B) ImplementsCommon() {}
mymap := map[string]Common{
"A": A{},
"B": B{},
}

In my GoLang program which invokes a REST API, i need to collect the responses from different REST API's which return slices of pointers of the same struct.
I am attempting to concatenate the slices of pointers using append and i am getting error similar to what is shown below.
I think append does not support such an operation , is there any alternative to this ?
cannot use response (type []*string) as type *string in append
A go playground link for the problem ,i am trying to demonstrate is given here.
https://play.golang.org/p/lnzSd2kbht0
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var fruits []*string
response := GetStrings("Apple")
fruits = append(fruits, response...)
response = GetStrings("Banana")
fruits = append(fruits, response...)
response = GetStrings("Orange")
fruits = append(fruits, response...)
if fruits == nil || len(fruits) == 0 {
fmt.Printf("Nil Slice")
} else {
fmt.Printf("Non nil")
fmt.Printf("%v", fruits)
}
}
func GetStrings(input string) []*string {
var myslice []*string
myslice = append(myslice, &input)
return myslice
}
I cannot change the REST API or the function signature to return the slice of structs itself.
To append all elements of a slice to another slice, use:
resultSlice=append(slice1, slice2...)

Invalid receiver type with maps [closed]

I'm trying to define additional methods on a basic map https://play.golang.org/p/3BKgxVJIjP1:
type Typ struct {
config string
}
type typeRegistry = map[string]Typ
func (r typeRegistry) Add(name string) {
typ := Typ{
config: "config",
}
r[name] = typ
}
Doing so fails:
invalid receiver type map[string]Typ (map[string]Typ is not a defined type)
Before refactoring the approach was similar but with a func instead of Typ:
type typeRegistry map[string]func()
func (r typeRegistry) Add(name string, factory func()) {
r[name] = factory
}
This version worked. Where is the difference in defining additional methods on map-type receivers?
type typeRegistry = map[string]Typ
Is a type alias. You cannot define methods on aliases (only on the original type--but in this case map[string]Typ cannot have methods on it, so you're out of luck).
What you probably want is to create a custom type, not an alias:
type typeRegistry map[string]Typ
Then your methods will work.

I have a struct in my generated proto file that looks like this (simplified):
type Record struct {
Field1 int64 `protobuf:"varint,1,opt,name=field1,proto3" json:"field1,omitempty"`
Field2 []byte `protobuf:"bytes,2,opt,name=field2,proto3" json:"field2,omitempty"`
}
and I'm trying to call it in my Go file
func foo(c messagepb.MessageServiceClient){
fmt.Println("Starting to send message...")
msgs := []*messagepb.MessageRequest{
recordpb.Record{ //error msg here
Field1: 1,
Field2: []byte{byte('a')},
}
}
...
}
but I get this error at the recordpb.Record line:
cannot use recordpb.Record literal (type recordpb.Record) as type *messagepb.MessageRequest in array or slice literal
If it helps, here's my messagepb:
message.proto
message MessageRequest { recordpb.Record records = 1; }
message.pb.go
type MessageRequest struct {
Record *recordpb.Record `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=record,proto3" json:"record,omitempty"`
}
I can't find anything useful about why this is happening... Any ideas?
Looks like you are creating a slice of []*messagepb.MessageRequest and then adding a recordpb.Record to it. recordpb.Record is not the same type as *messagepb.MessageRequest.
Given this type
type MessageRequest struct {
Record *recordpb.Record `protobuf:"bytes,1,opt,name=record,proto3" json:"record,omitempty"`
}
It looks like your msgs var should be
msgs := []*messagepb.MessageRequest{
{
Record: &recordpb.Record{
Field1: 1,
Field2: []byte{byte('a')},
},
},
}
#mkopriva 's comments above add some nice explanation to this.

I have a custom type named ProtectedCustomType and I don't want the variables within that to be set or get directly by the caller, rather want a Getter / Setter methods to do that.
Below is my ProtectedCustomType
package custom
import "fmt"
type ProtectedCustomType struct {
name string
age string
phoneNumber int
}
func (pct *ProtectedCustomType) SetAge (age string) {
pct.age=age
fmt.Println(pct.age)
}
func (pct *ProtectedCustomType) GetAge () string {
return pct.age
}
And here is my main function
package main
import (
"fmt"
"./custom"
)
var print =fmt.Println
func structCheck2() {
pct := custom.ProtectedCustomType{}
pct.SetAge("23")
age:=pct.GetAge
print (age)
}
func main() {
structCheck2()
}
I am expecting it to print 23, but it is printing as 0x48b950
This (your code) takes the pct instance's GetAge method and stores it in a variable:
age:=pct.GetAge
This calls the GetAge method and stores its return value in a variable:
age:=pct.GetAge()
Consider taking the Tour of Go and reading the Go Specification to get a basic understanding of Go syntax.
