I have a struct:
type struct Foo {
Id ??
Name string
}
I get a list of Foos doing, where "c" is a NewContext():
q := datastore.NewQuery("Drug")
var foos []Foo
_, err := q.GetAll(c, &foos)
The Id is not populated, but the Name is.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the Id to populate
The GetAll function returns a slice of the keys:
keys, err := q.GetAll(c, &foos)
The key for foos[i] is keys[i].
Use a loop to store the id in the entity if that's what you need:
for i := range keys {
foos[i].ID = keys[i].IntID() // or .StringID()
}

In the Params model I have an array of int Cat_id
I make a request: localhost:8080/products/?cat_id=1,2
And I want to display multiple products from these two categories. How can I parsely build my query?
My func:
func GetAllIproducts(q *models.Products, pagination *models.Params) (*[]models.Products, error) {
var prod []models.Products
offset := (pagination.Page - 1) * pagination.Limit
result := config.DB.Model(&models.Products{}).Where(q).Where("cat_id=?", pagination.Cat_id).Limit(pagination.Limit).Offset(offset).Find(&prod) //Problem is here
if result.Error != nil {
msg := result.Error
return nil, msg
}
return &prod, nil
}
When i use Debug i got this:
SELECT * FROM "products" WHERE cat_id=(1,2) AND "products"."deleted_at" IS NULL
Assuming that the cat_id is an integer (lets assume int64), you could these two things:
Convert pagination.Cat_id string to an []int64 slice (lets call this variable catIDs of type []int64) to get a slice with separated int64 elements.
Change your Where clause to something like this:
result := config.DB.Model(&models.Products{}).Where(q).Where("cat_id IN (?)", catIDs).Limit(pagination.Limit).Offset(offset).Find(&prod)

How to access to a struct parameter value from a variable in Golang

Closed 9 months ago.
Came from javascript background, and just started with Golang. I am learning all the new terms in Golang, and creating new question because I cannot find the answer I need (probably due to lack of knowledge of terms to search for)
I created a custom type, created an array of types, and I want to create a function where I can retrieve all the values of a specific key, and return an array of all the values (brands in this example)
type Car struct {
brand string
units int
}
....
var cars []Car
var singleCar Car
//So i have a loop here and inside the for-loop, i create many single cars
singleCar = Car {
brand: "Mercedes",
units: 20
}
//and i append the singleCar into cars
cars = append(cars, singleCar)
Now what I want to do is to create a function that I can retrieve all the brands, and I tried doing the following. I intend to have key as a dynamic value, so I can search by specific key, e.g. brand, model, capacity etc.
func getUniqueByKey(v []Car, key string) []string {
var combined []string
for i := range v {
combined = append(combined, v[i][key])
//this line returns error -
//invalid operation: cannot index v[i] (map index expression of type Car)compilerNonIndexableOperand
}
return combined
//This is suppose to return ["Mercedes", "Honda", "Ferrari"]
}
The above function is suppose to work if i use getUniqueByKey(cars, "brand") where in this example, brand is the key. But I do not know the syntaxes so it's returning error.
Seems like you're trying to get a property using a slice accessor, which doesn't work in Go. You'd need to write a function for each property. Here's an example with the brands:
func getUniqueBrands(v []Car) []string {
var combined []string
tempMap := make(map[string]bool)
for _, c := range v {
if _, p := tempMap[c.brand]; !p {
tempMap[c.brand] = true
combined = append(combined, c.brand)
}
}
return combined
}
Also, note the for loop being used to get the value of Car here. Go's range can be used to iterate over just indices or both indices and values. The index is discarded by assigning to _.
I would recommend re-using this code with an added switch-case block to get the result you want. If you need to return multiple types, use interface{} and type assertion.
Maybe you could marshal your struct into json data then convert it to a map. Example code:
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)
type RandomStruct struct {
FieldA string
FieldB int
FieldC string
RandomFieldD bool
RandomFieldE interface{}
}
func main() {
fieldName := "FieldC"
randomStruct := RandomStruct{
FieldA: "a",
FieldB: 5,
FieldC: "c",
RandomFieldD: false,
RandomFieldE: map[string]string{"innerFieldA": "??"},
}
randomStructs := make([]RandomStruct, 0)
randomStructs = append(randomStructs, randomStruct, randomStruct, randomStruct)
res := FetchRandomFieldAndConcat(randomStructs, fieldName)
fmt.Println(res)
}
func FetchRandomFieldAndConcat(randomStructs []RandomStruct, fieldName string) []interface{} {
res := make([]interface{}, 0)
for _, randomStruct := range randomStructs {
jsonData, _ := json.Marshal(randomStruct)
jsonMap := make(map[string]interface{})
err := json.Unmarshal(jsonData, &jsonMap)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
// panic(err)
}
value, exists := jsonMap[fieldName]
if exists {
res = append(res, value)
}
}
return res
}
How to append to empty interface (that has been verified to be a *[]struct)?
func main() {
var mySlice []myStruct // myStruct can be any struct (dynamic)
decode(&mySlice, "...")
}
func decode(dest interface{}, src string) {
// assume dest has been verified to be *[]struct
var modelType reflect.Type = getStructType(dest)
rows, fields := getRows(src)
for _, row := range rows {
// create new struct of type modelType and assign all fields
model := reflect.New(modelType)
for field := fields {
fieldValue := getRowValue(row, field)
model.Elem().FieldByName(field).Set(fieldValue)
}
castedModelRow := model.Elem().Interface()
// append model to dest; how to do this?
// dest = append(dest, castedModelRow)
}
}
Things I've tried:
This simply panics: reflect: call of reflect.Append on ptr Value (as we pass &mySlice instead of mySlice)
dest = reflect.Append(reflect.ValueOf(dest), reflect.ValueOf(castedModelRow))
This works but doesn't set the value back to dest... in main func, len(mySlice) remains 0 after decode function is called.
func decode(dest interface{}, src string) {
...
result := reflect.MakeSlice(reflect.SliceOf(modelType), rowCount, rowCount)
for _, row : range rows {
...
result = reflect.Append(result, reflect.ValueOf(castedModelRow))
}
dest = reflect.ValueOf(result)
}
Here's how to fix the second decode function shown in the question. The statement
dest = reflect.ValueOf(result)
modifies local variable dest, not the caller's value. Use the following statement to modify the caller's slice:
reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem().Set(result)
The code in the question appends decoded elements after the elements created in reflect.MakeSlice. The resulting slice has len(rows) zero values followed by len(rows) decoded values. Fix by changing
result = reflect.Append(result, reflect.ValueOf(castedModelRow))
to:
result.Index(i).Set(model)
Here's the update version of the second decode function in the question:
func decode(dest interface{}, src string) {
var modelType reflect.Type = getStructType(dest)
rows, fields := getRows(src)
result := reflect.MakeSlice(reflect.SliceOf(modelType), len(rows), len(rows))
for i, row := range rows {
model := reflect.New(modelType).Elem()
for _, field := range fields {
fieldValue := getRowValue(row, field)
model.FieldByName(field).Set(fieldValue)
}
result.Index(i).Set(model)
}
reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem().Set(result)
}
Run it on the Playground.
You were very close with your original solution. You had to de-reference the pointer before calling the append operation. This solution would be helpful if your dest already had some existing elements and you don't want to lose them by creating a newSlice.
tempDest := reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem()
tempDest = reflect.Append(tempDest, reflect.ValueOf(model.Interface()))
Similar to how #I Love Reflection pointed out, you finally need to set the new slice back to the pointer.
reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem().Set(tempDest)
Overall Decode:
var modelType reflect.Type = getStructType(dest)
rows, fields := getRows(src)
tempDest := reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem()
for _, row := range rows {
model := reflect.New(modelType).Elem()
for _, field := range fields {
fieldValue := getRowValue(row, field)
model.FieldByName(field).Set(fieldValue)
}
tempDest = reflect.Append(tempDest, reflect.ValueOf(model.Interface()))
}
reflect.ValueOf(dest).Elem().Set(tempDest)
Team,
new to Programming.
I have data available after unmarshaling the Json as shown below, which has nested Key values. flat key values I am able to access, how do I access nested key values.
Here is the byte slice data shown below after unmarshaling —>
tables:[map[name:basic__snatpool_members] map[name:net__snatpool_members] map[name:optimizations__hosts] map[columnNames:[name] name:pool__hosts rows:[map[row:[ry.hj.com]]]] traffic_group:/Common/traffic-group-1
Flat key values I am able to access by using the following code
p.TrafficGroup = m[“traffic_group”].(string)
here is the complete function
func dataToIapp(name string, d *schema.ResourceData) bigip.Iapp {
var p bigip.Iapp
var obj interface{}
jsonblob := []byte(d.Get("jsonfile").(string))
err := json.Unmarshal(jsonblob, &obj)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("error", err)
}
m := obj.(map[string]interface{}) // Important: to access property
p.Name = m[“name”].(string)
p.Partition = m[“partition”].(string)
p.InheritedDevicegroup = m[“inherited_devicegroup”].(string)
}
Note: This may not work with your JSON structure. I inferred what it would be based on your question but without the actual structure, I cannot guarantee this to work without modification.
If you want to access them in a map, you need to assert that the interface pulled from the first map is actually a map. So you would need to do this:
tmp := m["tables"]
tables, ok := tmp.(map[string]string)
if !ok {
//error handling here
}
r.Name = tables["name"].(string)
But instead of accessing the unmarshaled JSON as a map[string]interface{}, why don't you create structs that match your JSON output?
type JSONRoot struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Partition string `json:"partition"`
InheritedDevicegroup string `json:"inherited_devicegroup"`
Tables map[string]string `json:"tables"` //Ideally, this would be a map of structs
}
Then in your code:
func dataToIapp(name string, d *schema.ResourceData) bigip.Iapp {
var p bigip.Iapp
var obj &JSONRoot{}
jsonblob := []byte(d.Get("jsonfile").(string))
err := json.Unmarshal(jsonblob, &obj)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("error", err)
}
p.Name = obj.Name
p.Partition = obj.Partition
p.InheritedDevicegroup = obj.InheritedDevicegroup
p.Name = obj.Tables["name"]
}
JSON objects are unmarshaled into map[string]interface{}, JSON arrays into []interface{}, same applies for nested objects/arrays.
So for example if a key/index maps to a nested object you need to type assert the value to map[string]interface{} and if the key/index maps to an array of objects you first need to assert the value to []interface{} and then each element to map[string]interface{}.
e.g. (for brevity this code is not guarding against panic)
tables := obj.(map[string]interface{})["tables"]
table1 := tables.([]interface{})[0]
name := table1.(map[string]interface{})["name"]
namestr := name.(string)
However, if it's the case that the json you are parsing is not dynamic but instead has a specific structure you should define a struct type that mirrors that structure and unmarshal the json into that.
All you have to do is repeatedly accessing the map via type-switching or assertion:
for _, table := range m["tables"] {
switch val := table {
case string:
fmt.Println("table is string")
case int:
fmt.Println("table is integer")
// This is your case, since JSON is unmarshaled to type []interface{} and map[string]interface{}
case []interface{}:
fmt.Println("table is a slice of interface{}")
for _, tb := range value {
if m, ok := tb.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
// Now it's accessible
fmt.Println(m["name"])
}
}
default:
fmt.Println("unknown type")
}
}
You might want to handle errors better than this.

I'm trying to retrieving a value from a map within a map. I have followed online tutorials but not getting the right answer. This is my program:
type OptionMap map[string]interface{}
func(options OptionMap) {
opt, _ := options["data2"].(OptionMap)
fmt.Println("opt", opt)
for key, value := range options {
fmt.Println("Key:", key, "Value:", value)
}
}
options has two keys data1 and data2 . Inside for loop the printf prints following
Key: data1 Value: false
Key: data2 Value: map[h:5]
When I run the code
opt, _ := options["data2"].(OptionMap)
I'm getting nil in opt. I'm not sure how to retrieve value of map[h:5].
You are getting nil value for inner map because you have not created inner map using type OptionMap.You must have created it using map[string]interface{} and trying to assert to OptionMap which is failing in getting nil value. See below example which is working with OptionMap type,too.Go through type assertion page at https://tour.golang.org/methods/15
package main
import "fmt"
type OptionMap map[string]interface{}
func main() {
opt := make(OptionMap)
ineeropt := make(OptionMap) // while creating Map specify OptionMap type
ineeropt["h"]=5
opt["data1"] = false
opt["data2"] = ineeropt
test(opt)
}
func test(options OptionMap) {
opt, _ := options["data2"].(OptionMap) //If inner map is created using OptionMap then opt won't be nil
fmt.Println("opt", opt)
fmt.Println("opt", options)
for key, value := range options {
fmt.Println("Key:", key, "Value:", value)
}
}
