I'm trying to figure out how I can (using gin) create a struct from an api call
"icon": [
"https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank.png",
{
"48x48": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_48.png",
"60x60": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_60.png",
"72x72": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_72.png",
"84x84": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_84.png",
"96x96": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_96.png",
"120x120": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_120.png",
"144x144": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_144.png",
"192x192": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_192.png",
"256x256": "https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_256.png"
}
],
into
type CatalogBank struct {
Advice string `json:"advice"`
BankCode string `json:"bank_code"`
BankName string `json:"bank_name"`
BIC string `json:"bic"`
Credentials []struct {
Label string `json:"label"`
Masked bool `json:"masked"`
} `json:"credentials"`
Icon []struct {
} `json:"icon"`
Language []byte `json:"language"`
}
The icon part is just an extract from, but I always get an unmarshall error for this part. How would I have to definde the 'Icon' part in the struct?
This would work
package main
type CatalogBank struct {
Icon []interface{} `json:"icon"`
}
This is a little tricky in Golang because of the non-strict type in the JSON. If that is definitely the format you are going to receive the data in, you should unmarshal to an Interface{} and then parse the interface into a struct that you can use in your Golang
Direct Unmarshalling cannot be done, as the type of each field is not known
type Icon struct{
ImageLink string
ImageLink48 string
// ...
}
type CatalogBank struct {
Advice string `json:"advice"`
IconRaw []interface{} `json:"icon"`
Icon []Icon
//...
}
func UnmarshalIcon(c &CatalogBank, i interface{}):
// first convert it to the top level list
newIcon := Icon{}
listOfIcons := i.([]interface{})
for _, i := range listOfIcons:
switch iT := i.(type) {
case string:
newIcon.ImageLink = iT
case map[string]interface{}:
for smallIconsKey, smallIconLink := range iT {
if smallIconsKey == "48x48"{
newIcon.ImageLink48 = smallIconLink.(string)
}
// and so on
}
var c CatalogBank{}
_ := json.Unmarshal([]byte(your_json), &c)
for _, i := range c.IconRaw:
UnmarshalIcon(&c, i)
Caveat Emptor: I haven't checked above implementation but it should be something like this
You can not use []struct {} for icon, change it to []interface{} instead, or if you want operate on type safe type look at the second solution with cusom unmarshaler

Solution 2:

return err
}
p.Icon = &Icons{

}
if len(transient.Icon) > 0 {

p.Icon.URL = url
}
if aMap, ok := transient.Icon[1].(map[string]interface{}); ok {
for k, v := range aMap {

}
}
return nil
}

You can define your icon like this:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"encoding/json"
)
var testIcon = []byte(`{"icon":[
"https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank.png",
{
"48x48":"https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_48.png"
}]
}`)
func main() {
icon := make(map[string][]interface{})
err := json.Unmarshal(testIcon, &icon)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(icon)
// map[icon:[https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank.png map[48x48:https://api.figo.me/assets/images/accounts/postbank_48.png]]]
}
