I'm a bit new to Go and I'm having trouble converting a response object from an API call into different structures based on the request type
Essentially, I have one func which sends out a request
func (fpc *FPClient) request(path string, method string, params interface{}, Token string, response interface{}) *dto.AppError {
client := &http.Client{
Timeout: time.Second * 15,
}
requestBody, err := json.Marshal(params)
if err != nil {
//
}
req, _ := http.NewRequest(method, path, bytes.NewBuffer(requestBody))
req.Header.Set("Content-Type", "application/json")
req.Header.Set("Cookie", fmt.Sprintf("cookie=%s;", Token))
req.SetBasicAuth(fpc.username, fpc.password)
resp, err := client.Do(req)
if err != nil {
//
}
body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
if err != nil {
//
}
if FPErr := fpc.processErrors(resp, body); FPerr != nil {
return FPErr
}
responseData := FPApiSuccess{Head: response, Body: response}
if err := json.Unmarshal(body, &responseData); err != nil {
//
}
fmt.Printf("
client Response :
%+v
", responseData.Body)
return nil
}
The struct for FPApiSuccess
is:
type FPApiSuccess struct {
Body interface{} `json:"body"`
Head interface{} `json:"head"`
}
Right now, there are 2 calling functions and the API response expected is a bit different for both
Both API responses have the below structure
{
"head": {},
"body": {}
}
However, the nested details in each key is different based on the API used.
I want to capture the head
and body
keys in a struct argument I give and send it back to the calling function. The response
argument in the request
function is a different struct type based on the calling function.
I'm unable to get this to work - I'm only getting back a blank struct from the request
function. This is the fmt.PrintF
log
client Response :
&{Body:{BOrderID:0 CC: Exch: EOID: Type: Local:0 Message: } Head:{ResponseCode: Status: StatusDescription:}}
This is an empty struct - ideally, it should be populated with the values retrieved from the API.
For reference, heres the struct passed as an argument as response
in the request function:
type FPApiResponse struct {
Body FPBodyResponse `json:"body"`
Head FPHeadResponse `json:"head"`
}
type FPHeadResponse struct {
ResponseCode string `json:"responseCode"`
Status string `json:"status"`
StatusDescription string `json:"statusDescription"`
}
type FPBodyResponse struct {
BOrderID int `json:"BOrderID"`
CC string `json:"CC"`
Exch string `json:"Exch"`
EOID string `json:"EOID"`
Type string `json:"Type"`
Local int `json:"Local"`
Message string `json:"Message"`
}
Update
So I did this; instead of
responseData := FPApiSuccess{Head: response, Body: response}
I did this
responseData := fivePaisaApiSuccess{}
So now, I get the below in console
Client Response :
{Body:map[BOrderID:0 CC:52715111 Type:D Local:0 Message:Invalid Session ] Head:map[responseCode:5POrdReq status:0 statusDescription:Success]}
So essentially, this works, but the calling function doesn't seem to get the proper response:
Here's the calling function
func (fpc *FPClient) PlaceOrder(orderParams dto.OrderBodyParams, variety string, Token string) (string, *dto.AppError) {
var result FPApiResponse
headParams := dto.FFPOrderHeadParams{
//
}
FPOrderParams := dto.FPOrderParams{
//
}
FPErr := fpc.request(FPURL+FPPlaceOrder, http.MethodPost, FPOrderParams, brokerAccessToken, &result)
if FPErr != nil {
return "", FPErr
}
fmt.Printf("
Client result :
%+v
", result)
if result.Head.Status != "0" {
//
}
if result.Body.Status != 0 {
//
}
return strconv.Itoa(result.Body.Broker), nil
}
The result
value is blank:
{Body:{BOId:0 CC: Exch: Type: Local:0 Message: Status:0} Head:{ResponseCode: Status: StatusDescription:}}
I don't understand, this pointer is getting populated in the request function
Here's the struct I'm passing to the request:
type FPApiResponse struct {
Body FPBodyResponse `json:"body"`
Head FPHeadResponse `json:"head"`
}
