I have created few types including interface as:
// GetProfileHandlerFunc turns a function with the right signature into a get profile handler
type GetProfileHandlerFunc func(GetProfileParams, interface{}) middleware.Responder
// Handle executing the request and returning a response
func (fn GetProfileHandlerFunc) Handle(params GetProfileParams, principal interface{}) middleware.Responder {
return fn(params, principal)
}
// GetProfileHandler interface for that can handle valid get profile params
type GetProfileHandler interface {
Handle(GetProfileParams, interface{}) middleware.Responder
}
Now in my api implementation package. I am using a logic to handle the request parameters. I am trying to assign GetProfileHandlerFunc
to another type since it implements GetProfileHandler
interface as you can see above.
api.ProfileGetProfileHandler = profile.GetProfileHandlerFunc(func(params profile.GetProfileParams, principal *models.User) middleware.Responder {
// contains logic to handle the request
}
Now I think I can do above logic. But I am getting type mismatch error.
cannot convert func literal (type func(profile.GetProfileParams, *"userproj/models".User) middleware.Responder) to type profile.GetProfileHandlerFuncgo
the point is: if you have a function like
func A(param interface{}) {}
you can pass anything to param when you make a call to function A. like
A(10)
A(true)
A(nil)
Because interface{} means everything. So your handle func definition:
type GetProfileHandlerFunc func(GetProfileParams, interface{}) middleware.Responder
means a function GetProfileHandlerFunc which takes two params, the first is of type GetProfileParams, the second is of type interface{}. That means second param canbe anything.
But
func(params profile.GetProfileParams, principal *models.User) middleware.Responder
means a function which takes two params, the first is of type GetProfileParams, the second is of type *models.User. So, do you think they are the same? No.
I need a function can take anything as second param,not a function who can only take User as second function.
When you call your handle
GetProfileHandlerFunc(params, 10) // this is ok
So is that ok for
func(params profile.GetProfileParams, principal *models.User) middleware.Responder
No.
The right way to do this is :
api.ProfileGetProfileHandler = profile.GetProfileHandlerFunc(func(params profile.GetProfileParams, principal interface) middleware.Responder {
user:=principal.(*model.User) // watch this.
}
