I'm trying to create a basic commenting api in go. I can't seem to figure out how to scan postgresql arrays into an array of structs within a struct. I think I could probably have Thread.Posts type be jsonb but that seems inelegant since I would have to unmarshall it I think.
sql: Scan error on column index 3, name "posts": unsupported Scan, storing driver.Value type []uint8 into type *[]models.Post
var threadSchema = `
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS thread (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,
profile_id INTEGER REFERENCES profile (id)
)`
var postSchema = `
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS post (
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
comment TEXT,
profile_id INTEGER REFERENCES profile (id),
thread_id INTEGER REFERENCES thread (id)
)`
type Post struct {
Id int `db:"id" json:"id"`
Comment string `db:"comment" json:"comment" binding:"required" form:"comment"`
ProfileId int `db:"profile_id" json:"profile_id" binding:"required" form:"profile_id"`
ThreadId int `db:"thread_id" json:"thread_id" binding:"required" form:"thread_id"`
}
type Thread struct {
Id int `db:"id" json:"id"`
Name string `db:"name" json:"name" binding:"required" form:"name"`
ProfileId int `db:"profile_id" json:"profile_id" binding:"required" form:"profile_id"`
Posts []Post `db:"posts" json:"posts" form:"posts"`
}
func GetThreads(db *sqlx.DB, c *gin.Context) {
threads := []Thread{}
err := db.Select(&threads, `
SELECT thread.id,thread.name,thread.profile_id,array_agg(post.id) AS posts
FROM thread
INNER JOIN post ON thread.id = post.thread_id
GROUP BY thread.id;
`)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
c.JSON(http.StatusOK, gin.H{"data": threads})
}
