I built an echo microservice api, with two routings: post and get.
The get method works fine, but the get method can't parse the JSON, meaning the struct is empty after the Bind() func.
It must be a very stupid and tiny thing I am missing... any help?
// main.go
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
func main() {
e := echo.New()
e.GET("/getmethod", func(c echo.Context) error { return c.JSON(200, "good")})
e.POST("/login", handlers.HandleLogin)
e.Start("localhost:8000")
}
// handlers/login.go
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
type credentials struct {
email string `json:"email"`
pass string `json:"pass"`
}
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
func HandleLogin(c echo.Context) error {
var creds credentials
err := c.Bind(&creds)
if err != nil {
return c.JSON(http.StatusBadRequest, err) // 400
}
return c.JSON(http.StatusOK, creds.email) // 200
}
When running a post request with postman (to make sure: post method, url is to the correct route, in the body> under raw> JSON format, I send the JSON as expected ) I receive back status 200 ok, but empty json, whereas I would expect to receive the email attribute.
Any idea why the Bind() didn't extract the fields correctly?
