What I want to do is:
1. Parse model from url parameter in endpoint.(ex: media, account)
mysite.com/v1/rest/:model <- :model can be whether 'media', 'account'.
So it will look like:
mysite.com/v1/rest/media
mysite.com/v1/rest/account
2. Use 1, retrieve string and use it for getting corresponding struct.
3. Put it to the method which takes interface{}
My code looks like:
type Media struct {
Caption string
}
type Account struct {
Bio string
}
type AdminController struct {
TableName string
ID int64
}
func (c *AdminController) Get(n *core.Network) {
// I want to put struct to below GetModels method dynamically.
// Not explicitly like this.
total, data, err := c.GetModels(&Media{}, n)
// I want to do this
total, data, err := c.GetModels(caster("media"), n)
if err != nil {
n.Res.Error(err)
} else {
n.Res.Success(total, data)
}
}
Is it possible to implement method which takes string and return corresponding struct? Like this:
func (c *AdminController) caster(model string) interface{} {
if string == "media" {
return &Media{}
} else if string == "account" {
return &Account{}
}
return nil
}
If it's possible, is this a good way to deal with REST request (generic way) Or should I implement response methods one by one following table by table?
If I have to implement REST(4) * number_of_tables methods, it doesn't seem to be efficient. Any advice on this architectural problem will be appreciated.
