I have below structures
type ModuleList []Module
type Module struct {
Id string
Items []Item
Env map[string]string
}
type Item struct {
Id string
Host string
}
I have a service which returns ModuleList; but I would like to create a function which can group ModuleList based on Module Env key value and return map[string]ModuleList or map[string]*Module
Can i have any sample function which does this ?
I had tried doing this
appsByGroup := make(map[string]ModuleList)
for _, app := range apps {
if _, ok := app.Env["APP_GROUP"]; ok {
appGroup := app.Env["APP_GROUP"]
appsByGroup[appGroup] = app
}
}
; but not quite sure how to add element to an array
If you want to group all the Modules
by a APP_GROUP
then you are pretty much correct. You are just not appending to the slice correctly:
appsByGroup := make(map[string]ModuleList)
for _, app := range apps {
if _, ok := app.Env["APP_GROUP"]; ok {
appGroup := app.Env["APP_GROUP"]
// app is of type Module while in appsGroup map, each string
// maps to a ModuleList, which is a slice of Modules.
// Hence your original line
// appsByGroup[appGroup] = app would not compile
appsByGroup[appGroup] = append(appsByGroup[appGroup], app)
}
}
Now you can access all the Modules
(stored in a slice) in a group by using:
// returns slice of modules (as ModuleList) with
// Env["APP_GROUP"] == group
appGroups[group]
