I am using below function to generate ksuid in byte format but i need it to return ksuid in string format.
I tried returning id.string()
value but i am getting below error
error:
cannot use id.String()
(value of type string) as id_return
value in return statement.
I would like it to assign the return string value like below (string instead of byte)
var id_gen string = genKsuid()
type id []byte
type id_return string
func genKsuid() id {
id, err := ksuid.NewRandomWithTime(time.Now())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("ksuid: %s\n", id.String())
return id.Bytes()
}
var id_gen []byte = genKsuid()
CodePudding user response:
Change your function to
func genKsuid() string {
id, err := ksuid.NewRandomWithTime(time.Now())
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("ksuid: %s\n", id.String())
return id.String()
}
