I am trying to format my response from a server in an array of multiple object JSON. I tried slice
and []Struct
but I believe I am not able to understand their usage correctly.
I tried the method mentioned here - https://play.golang.org/p/9OEPzbf0Me0 but didn't work in my case
I am using golang to get response for a query parameter
router.HandleFunc("/v1.0/singles", GetInfo).Methods("GET").Queries("Group", "{group}")
//controller.go
func SendToServer(jsonValue []byte, command string) (models.JSON, error) {
var pdatar models.JSON
s := []string{"http://172.xx.xxx.xx:xxxxx/", command}
response, err := http.Post(strings.Join(s, ""), "application/json", bytes.NewBuffer(jsonValue))
data, err := ioutil.ReadAll(response.Body)
err = json.Unmarshal(data, &pdatar)
mdatar := make(models.JSON)
mdatar["ID"] = pdatar["id"]
mdatar["Name"] = pdatar["name"]
fmt.Println(mdatar) //This is how it is coming map[ID:[877,235], Name:[FCU, GHP]]
/*Another attempt
var temp models.Arr
json.Unmarshal(data, &temp)
fmt.Println(temp) ---- returning null
*/
return mdatar, nil
}
func (c Controller) GetSingle(pdata models.Single) (models.JSON, error) {
mdata := make(models.JSON)
mdata["group"] = pdata.Group
jsonValue, err := json.Marshal(mdata)
pdatar, err := SendToServer(jsonValue, "func_info")
return pdatar, nil
// json.NewEncoder(w).Encode(pdatar) //sending this to my main function
}
//model.go
type JSON map[string]interface{}
type Single struct {
ID int `json:"id"`
Name string `json:"name"`
}
type Data []Single
type Arr [][]string
I have a response from my API in a format
{
"id":[877,235,312,429],
"name" ["FCU","GHP","c","d"],
"group":["x","x","y","z"]
}
With Current Code I am receiving a response
{"id":[877 235], "name": ["FCU" "GHP"]
Though I am expecting a response
{
"data":
[
{"id": 877
"name" : "FCU"
}
{"id": 235
"name": "GHP"
}
]
}
Your mdatarr doesn't change the format any, so this result makes sense.
If the data received from the server is in the format:
{
"id": [877,235,312,429],
"name" ["FCU","GHP","c","d"],
"group": ["x","x","y","z"]
}
then you will need translate it. Ideally you'd fix the server so that it sends data in the format:
{
{
"id": 877,
"name": "FCU",
"group": "x",
},
...
}
If the server could send something like the above, then you could simply unmarshal it into a models.Data object.
If that is not an option, and you really need to do the translation client-side, then you'll need a for loop that does something like this:
ids := pdatarr["id"]
names := pdatarr["name"]
...
if len(ids) != len(names) {
return nil, errors.New("Invalid input format")
}
var mdatar models.Data
for i := range(ids) {
mdatar = append(mdatar, models.Single{ids[i], names[i], ...})
}
return models.JSON{"data": mdatar}, nil
