I have an issue using this statement
m.Post(Model, binding.Form(Wish), func(wish Wish, r render.Render, db *mgo.Database) {
This worked fine if I use the struct define inside the prog like
m.Post(Model, binding.Form(Wish1{}) , func(wish Wish1, r render.Render, db *mgo.Database) {
but I need this to be an independent package. I get "Wish is not a type" wish is the return of the binding function. This worked with a primary Type struct. I am passing the strut as a interface{}
I am using GO with Martini.Classic() It is really complicated for me to change Martini or Binding package. Any suggestions.
This is the all code
package chlistpkg
import (
"github.com/codegangsta/martini"
"github.com/codegangsta/martini-contrib/binding"
"github.com/codegangsta/martini-contrib/render"
"labix.org/v2/mgo"
"time"
"fmt"
"html/template"
"reflect"
"adminStruct"
)
just to show the struct that I need to pass as to routine Doall
type Wish1 struct {
Name string `form:"name"`
Description string `form:"description"`
AnyDate time.Time `form:"anydate"`
Active bool `form:"active"`
Number int `form:"number"`
NumDec float32 `form:"numDec"`
}
DB Returns a martini.Handler
func DB() martini.Handler {
session, err := mgo.Dial("mongodb://localhost")
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
return func(c martini.Context) {
s := session.Clone()
c.Map(s.DB("advent2"))
defer s.Close()
c.Next()
}
}
GetAll returns all Wishes in the database
func GetAll(db *mgo.Database, entList interface{}) interface{} {
db.C("wishes").Find(nil).All(entList)
fmt.Println("GettAll entList =", entList)
return entList
}
func Doall(Model string, Wish interface{}, Wish2 interface{}, Wishlist interface{} ) {
m := martini.Classic()
fmt.Println ("martini.Classic =", m)
m.Use(martini.Static("images")) // serve from the "images" directory as well
m.Use(render.Renderer(render.Options{
Directory: "templates",
Layout: "layout",
}))
m.Use(DB())
m.Get(Model, func(r render.Render, db *mgo.Database) {
r.HTML(200, "lista4", GetAll(db, Wishlist))
})
binding does not take a pointer. I have to pass the struct by reference on "Wish" the issue is the return on "wish Wish" I got an error Wish is not a type at compilation time
m.Post(Model, binding.Form(Wish), func(wish Wish, r render.Render, db *mgo.Database) {
fmt.Println("Input wish =", wish)
db.C("wishes").Insert(wish)
r.HTML(200, "lista4", GetAll(db, Wishlist))
})
m.Run()
Thanks in advance

The reason you are getting an error is that you have called your type Wish1
(with a numerical 1) but you are referring to the Wish
type (which does not exist!) in your code.
Change your struct to be:
// Note: "Wish", not "Wish1"
type Wish struct {
Name string `form:"name"`
Description string `form:"description"`
AnyDate time.Time `form:"anydate"`
Active bool `form:"active"`
Number int `form:"number"`
NumDec float32 `form:"numDec"`
}
If you want to put your type into another package (tip: don't overdo the sub-packages), then it will need to become a pkgname.Wish
as names are fully qualified.

After a second look, you're also messing things up here:
func Doall(Model string, Wish interface{}, Wish2 interface{}, Wishlist interface{} ) {
m := martini.Classic()
fmt.Println ("martini.Classic =", m)
m.Use(martini.Static("images")) // serve from the "images" directory as well
Your parameter list needs to provide a name for each type; you can't pass Wish interface{}
as a parameter as Wish
is a type, not a variable name.
You should either:
func DoAll(model string, wish interface{}, wish2 interface{}, wishList interface{}) { ... }
Or, better still, stop using interface{}
like this and write:
func DoAll(model string, wishList []Wish, wishes... Wish) { ... }
However, your DoAll
function does not seem to be referenced elsewhere, and is creating its own Martini instance. I highly suggest thinking about why things are "split out" like this if you're just starting out. Keep it simple - e.g.
func main() {
m := martini.Classic()
m.Use(martini.Static("images"))
m.Use(DB())
m.Use(render.Renderer(render.Options{...}))
// No need for an anonymous function, which just adds clutter
m.Get("/wishes/all", GetAllWishes)
// Same goes for here
m.Post("/wishes/new", PostWish)
m.Run()
}
PS: I've fixed the formatting of your code, as it has a lot of unnecessary spacing before/after parenthesis. Make sure to use gofmt
, which is included with the Go install and can be hooked into most popular editors.
