处理自定义BSON封送处理

Question

I have a number of structs that require custom marshalling. When I was testing I was using JSON and the standard JSON marshaller. As it doesn't marshal unexported fields, I needed to write a custom MarshalJSON function, which worked perfectly. When I called json.Marshal on the parent struct containing the ones that needed custom marshalling as fields, it worked fine.

Now I need to marshal everything to BSON for some MongoDB work, and I can't find any documentation about how to write custom BSON marshalling. Can anyone tell me how to do the equivalent for BSON/mgo for what I've demonstrated below?

currency.go (the important parts)

type Currency struct {
    value        decimal.Decimal //The actual value of the currency.
    currencyCode string          //The ISO currency code.
}

/*
MarshalJSON implements json.Marshaller.
*/
func (c Currency) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) {
    f, _ := c.Value().Float64()
    return json.Marshal(struct {
        Value        float64 `json:"value" bson:"value"`
        CurrencyCode string  `json:"currencyCode" bson:"currencyCode"`
    }{
        Value:        f,
        CurrencyCode: c.CurrencyCode(),
    })
}

/*
UnmarshalJSON implements json.Unmarshaller.
*/
func (c *Currency) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) error {

    decoded := new(struct {
        Value        float64 `json:"value" bson:"value"`
        CurrencyCode string  `json:"currencyCode" bson:"currencyCode"`
    })

    jsonErr := json.Unmarshal(b, decoded)

    if jsonErr == nil {
        c.value = decimal.NewFromFloat(decoded.Value)
        c.currencyCode = decoded.CurrencyCode
        return nil
    } else {
        return jsonErr
    }
}

product.go (again, just the relevant parts)

type Product struct {
    Name  string
    Code  string
    Price currency.Currency
}

When I call json.Marshal(p) where p is a Product, it produces the output I want without the need for the pattern (not sure of the name) where you create a struct which is just a clone with all exported fields.

In my opinion using the inline method I've used greatly simplifies the API and stops you having extra structs that clutter things up.

Custom bson Marshalling/Unmarshalling works nearly the same way, you have to implement the Getter and Setter interfaces respectively

Something like this should work :

type Currency struct {
    value        decimal.Decimal //The actual value of the currency.
    currencyCode string          //The ISO currency code.
}

// GetBSON implements bson.Getter.
func (c Currency) GetBSON() (interface{}, error) {
    f := c.Value().Float64()
    return struct {
        Value        float64 `json:"value" bson:"value"`
        CurrencyCode string  `json:"currencyCode" bson:"currencyCode"`
    }{
        Value:        f,
        CurrencyCode: c.currencyCode,
    }, nil
}

// SetBSON implements bson.Setter.
func (c *Currency) SetBSON(raw bson.Raw) error {

    decoded := new(struct {
        Value        float64 `json:"value" bson:"value"`
        CurrencyCode string  `json:"currencyCode" bson:"currencyCode"`
    })

    bsonErr := raw.Unmarshal(decoded)

    if bsonErr == nil {
        c.value = decimal.NewFromFloat(decoded.Value)
        c.currencyCode = decoded.CurrencyCode
        return nil
    } else {
        return bsonErr
    }
}
