How can I omit the columns that come from the gorm.Model. E.g. CreatedDate, modifiedDate.
Consider the following model:
type User struct{
gorm.Model
Firstname string
Lastname string
}
Now I can select specific column with:
db.Select("Firstname").Find(&users)
However, while it excludes the Lastname column, it does not exclude the columns that come from the gorm.Model. So the result would look something like:
[{"ID":0,"CreatedAt":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z","UpdatedAt":"0001-01-01T00:00:00Z","DeletedAt":null,"Firstname":"Foobar"}]
I want only the Firstname column.
You can define your User
type without including gorm.Model
struct
type User struct{
Firstname string
Lastname string
}
Alternatively, you can use two types, one with gorm.Model
and the second without it. You can use the latter when retrieving values without gorm.Model
properties.
