I have a table in mysql with 3 columns Profile string, userInformation JSON, badge string.
Profile | userInformation | badge |
---|---|---|
https://ps.w.org/metronet-profile-picture/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2464419 | {"name": "Suzan Collins", "points": 10000, "countryName": "Poland"} | assets/batcherPage/gold.png |
This is my struct:
type BatchersData struct {
ProfileURL string `json:"profileUrl"`
UserInformation UserInformation `json:"userInformation"`
Badge string `json:"badge"`
}
type UserInformation struct {
Points int64 `json:"points"`
Name string `json:"name"`
CountryName string `json:"countryName"`
}
What I want to do is make a select query on this table ie GET and retrieve every information..
using this code, I have accessed Profile and Badge :
func getBatchers(c *gin.Context) {
var batchers []BatchersData
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT profileUrl, badge FROM Batchers_page_db")
if err != nil {
return
}
defer rows.Close()
for rows.Next() {
var batcher BatchersData
if err := rows.Scan(&batcher.ProfileURL, &batcher.Badge); err != nil {
return
}
batchers = append(batchers, batcher)
}
if err := rows.Err(); err != nil {
return
}
c.IndentedJSON(http.StatusOK, batchers)
}
But I want to access JSON column ie UserInformation as well. I know that the query will be
rows, err := db.Query("SELECT * FROM Batchers_page_db")
But i'll have to make a change in this statement
if err := rows.Scan(&batcher.ProfileURL, &batcher.Badge);
I have tried doing this : but nothing works
rows.Scan(&batcher.ProfileURL,&batcher.UserInformation, &batcher.Badge);
CodePudding user response:
You need to implement Scan
interface doc to map the data to JSON. Here try this:
func (u * UserInformation) Scan(value interface{}) error {
b, ok := value.([]byte)
if !ok {
return errors.New("type assertion to []byte failed")
}
return json.Unmarshal(b, &u)
}
CodePudding user response:
SELECT JSON_EXTRACT(userInformation,'$.name') as profileName, JSON_EXTRACT(userInformation,'$.points') as userPoints from Batchers_page_db
Not tested, but something like this will work but make sure your database field must be JSON type.
