I'm trying to deal with some error descriptions from this library because I need them to be nested JSON objects.
The errors seem to be an array originally, like this:
["String length must be greater than or equal to 3","Does not match format 'email'"]
I needed that to also include the field name of the containing error:
["Field1: String length must be greater than or equal to 3","Email1: Does not match format 'email'"]
After that I need to split each array value by colon :
so I can have the field name and error description in separate variables like slice[0]
and slice[1]
.
With that I want to make a nested JSON object like so:
{
"errors": {
"Field1": "String length must be greater than or equal to 3",
"Email1": "Does not match format 'email'"
}
}
This is my way of trying to achieve this:
var errors []string
for _, err := range result.Errors() {
// Append the errors into an array that we can use to split later
errors = append(errors, err.Field() + ":" + err.Description())
}
// Make the JSON map we want to append values to
resultMap := map[string]interface{}{
"errors": map[string]string {
"Field1": "",
"Email1": ""
},
}
// So we actually can use the index keys when appending
resultMapErrors, _ := resultMap["errors"].(map[string]string)
for _, split := range errors {
slice := strings.Split(split, ":")
for _, appendToMap := range resultMapErrors {
appendToMap[slice[0]] = slice[1] // append it like so?
}
}
finalErrors, _ := json.Marshal(resultMapErrors)
fmt.Println(string(finalErrors))
But this throws the errors
main.go:59:28: non-integer string index slice[0]
main.go:59:39: cannot assign to appendToMap[slice[0]]
Any clue how I can achieve this?
