I create an api using golang, i would like to create some functionnal test, for that i create an interface to abstract my database. But for that i need to be able to convert the cursor to an array without knowing the type.
func (self *KeyController) GetKey(c echo.Context) (err error) {
var res []dto.Key
err = db.Keys.Find(bson.M{}, 10, 0, &res)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return c.String(http.StatusInternalServerError, "internal error")
}
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, res)
return
}
//THE FIND FUNCTION ON THE DB PACKAGE
func (s MongoCollection) Find(filter bson.M, limit int, offset int, res interface{}) (err error) {
ctx := context.Background()
var cursor *mongo.Cursor
l := int64(limit)
o := int64(offset)
objectType := reflect.TypeOf(res).Elem()
cursor, err = s.c.Find(ctx, filter, &options.FindOptions{
Limit: &l,
Skip: &o,
})
if err != nil {
return
}
defer cursor.Close(ctx)
for cursor.Next(ctx) {
result := reflect.New(objectType).Interface()
err := cursor.Decode(&result)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
res = append(res.([]interface{}), result)
}
return
}
Does someone have an idea?
You can call directly the "All" method:
ctx := context.Background()
err = cursor.All(ctx, res)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err.Error())
}
