Golang-Docker API-解析ImagePull的结果

Question

I'm developing a Go script that uses the Docker API for the purposes of my project. After I login to my repository, I pull the Docker image I want, but the problem is that the ImagePull function returns an instance of io.ReadCloser, which I'm only able to pass to the system output via:

io.Copy(os.Stdout, pullResp)

It's cool that I can see the response, but I can't find a decent way to parse it and implement a logic depending on it, which will do some things if a new version of the image have been downloaded, and other things if the image was up to date.
I'll be glad if you share your experience, if you have ever faced this problem.

@radoslav-stoyanov before use my example do

# docker rmi busybox

then run code

package main

import (
    "encoding/json"
    "fmt"
    "github.com/docker/distribution/context"
    docker "github.com/docker/engine-api/client"
    "github.com/docker/engine-api/types"
    "io"
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    // DOCKER
    cli, err := docker.NewClient("unix:///var/run/docker.sock", "v1.28", nil, map[string]string{"User-Agent": "engine-api-cli-1.0"})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    imageName := "busybox:latest"

    events, err := cli.ImagePull(context.Background(), imageName, types.ImagePullOptions{})
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    d := json.NewDecoder(events)

    type Event struct {
        Status         string `json:"status"`
        Error          string `json:"error"`
        Progress       string `json:"progress"`
        ProgressDetail struct {
            Current int `json:"current"`
            Total   int `json:"total"`
        } `json:"progressDetail"`
    }

    var event *Event
    for {
        if err := d.Decode(&event); err != nil {
            if err == io.EOF {
                break
            }

            panic(err)
        }

        fmt.Printf("EVENT: %+v
", event)
    }

    // Latest event for new image
    // EVENT: {Status:Status: Downloaded newer image for busybox:latest Error: Progress:[==================================================>]  699.2kB/699.2kB ProgressDetail:{Current:699243 Total:699243}}
    // Latest event for up-to-date image
    // EVENT: {Status:Status: Image is up to date for busybox:latest Error: Progress: ProgressDetail:{Current:0 Total:0}}
    if event != nil {
        if strings.Contains(event.Status, fmt.Sprintf("Downloaded newer image for %s", imageName)) {
            // new
            fmt.Println("new")
        }

        if strings.Contains(event.Status, fmt.Sprintf("Image is up to date for %s", imageName)) {
            // up-to-date
            fmt.Println("up-to-date")
        }
    }
}

You can see API formats to create your structures (like my Event) to read them here https://docs.docker.com/engine/api/v1.27/#operation/ImageCreate

I hope it helps you solve your problem, thanks.
