I have Go code that connects to a mongodb database.
The problem is that when I'm trying to get a record from the collection there is an "_id" field of the ObjectId
type, but in the mgo driver ObjectId
is
type ObjectID [12]byte
but when I'm trying to get record Go says:
reflect.Set: value of type []uint8 is not assignable to type ObjectID
I have tried to create my own []uint8
type but I have no idea how to convert []uint8
("ObjectId") to string
or to find some record by those ids.
// ObjectId type that mongodb wants to see
type ObjectID []uint8
// model
type Edge struct {
ID ObjectID `bson:"_id"`
Name string `bson:"name"`
StartVertex string `bson:"startVertex"`
EndVertex string `bson:"endVertex"`
}
// method for getting record by those id
session, err := mgo.Dial(config.DatabaseURL)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Error is: %s", err)
}
defer session.Close()
session.SetMode(mgo.Monotonic, true)
//edges collection
e := session.DB(config.DatabaseName).C(config.EdgesCollection)
var result models.Edge
err = e.Find(bson.M{"_id": fmt.Sprintln("ObjectId('", id, "')")}).One(&result)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error is: ", err)
}
