如何创建通用函数以解组所有类型？

Question

I have a function below, and I would like to make it generic:

func genericUnmarshalForType1(file string) Type1 {

  raw, err := ioutil.ReadFile(file)

  if err != nil {
      fmt.Println(err.Error())
      os.Exit(1)
  }

  var type1 Type1

  json.Unmarshal(raw, &type1)
}

I would like to create a function that accepts Type1 or Type2 without the need to create a function per type. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Do it the same way json.Unmarshal does it:

func genericUnmarshal(file string, v interface{}) {
    // File emulation.
    raw := []byte(`{"a":42,"b":"foo"}`)
    json.Unmarshal(raw, v)
}

You can make this function better by actually returning any errors encountered.
