I would like to better understand how to use interfaces, mainly to split code in reusable components and at the same time make it more easy for testing, currently my main question is how to share/get data between the interfaces that belong to a main interface, for example:
https://play.golang.org/p/67CQor1_pY
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
type MainInterface interface {
SubInterfaceA
SubInterfaceB
}
type SubInterfaceA interface {
MethodA()
GetterA(s implementMain)
}
type SubInterfaceB interface {
MethodB()
GetterB(s implementMain)
}
type implementA struct{}
func (ia *implementA) MethodA() { fmt.Println("I am method A") }
func (ia *implementA) GetterA(s implementMain) {
fmt.Println(s.Data)
}
type implementB struct{}
func (ib *implementB) MethodB() { fmt.Println("I am method B") }
func (ib *implementB) GetterB(s implementMain) {
fmt.Println(s.Data)
}
type implementMain struct {
Data string
SubInterfaceA
SubInterfaceB
}
func New(d string) implementMain {
return implementMain{
Data: d,
SubInterfaceA: &implementA{},
SubInterfaceB: &implementB{},
}
}
func main() {
var m MainInterface
m = New("something")
fmt.Println(m.(implementMain).Data)
m.MethodA() // prints I am method A
m.MethodB() // prints I am method B
m.GetterA(m.(implementMain)) // prints "something"
m.GetterB(m.(implementMain)) // prints "something"
}
In the above code, within the methods of struct implementA
or implementB
how to access the struct elements of the parent holder implementMain
that implements MainInterface
without passing it as an argument?
with holder struct I mean:
type implementMain struct {
Data string
SubInterfaceA
SubInterfaceB
}
If I am right SubInterfaceA
and SubInterfaceB
are embedded and help to make the struct implementMain
satisfy the MainInterface
:
type MainInterface interface {
SubInterfaceA
SubInterfaceB
}
But within the embedded methods of the SubInterfaceA
or subInterfaceB
what is the best practice to use in order to be available to get the data string
?
I created Getter(s implementMain)
method and passed the holder struct, but had to cast type:
m.GetterA(m.(implementMain))
I don't know if by satisfying a interface, all the involved interfaces can become part of the same structure scope and if they do, how to get/share data between them or either between its components?, for example besides been available to reach data string
how from SubInterfaceA
get/access SubInterfaceB
