Say I have these two files in golang:
// main/a/a.go
import "main/b"
type Model struct {
ID int `json:"id"`
Me int `json:"me"`
You int `json:"you"`
}
func zoom(v b.Injection){
}
func Start(){
// ...
}
and then the second file looks like:
// main/b/b.go
import "main/a"
type Injection struct {
ModelA a.Model
}
func GetInjection() Injection {
return Injection{
ModelA: a.Start(),
}
}
so as you can see, these are circular imports, each file imports the other. So I need to use a 3rd file, and have these two files import the 3rd file.
But I am really struggling how to get this functionality and avoid cyclic imports.
My first step, is to move the Injection type into a 3rd file:
// main/c/c.go
type Injection struct {
ModelA interface{} // formerly a.Model
}
so now this is what it looks like:
a imports c
b imports a,c
so no more cycles, however the problem is that I don't know how to create an interface for a.Model in c.go? An empty interface{} like I used above doesn't work, for the normal reasons.
How do I solve this cyclic import problem with these 2 original files?
