How to convert TypeScript interface to Go struct?-CodePudding

I'm trying to convert my object modeling tool, built with TypeScript, to Go.

What I have in TypeScript is:

interface SchemaType {
  [key: string]: {
    type: string;
    required?: boolean;
    default?: any;
    validate?: any[];
    maxlength?: any[];
    minlength?: any[],
    transform?: Function;
  };
};

class Schema {
  private readonly schema;

  constructor(schema: SchemaType) {
    this.schema = schema;
  };

  public validate(data: object): Promise<object> {
    // Do something with data
    return data;
  };
};

So that I can then do:

const itemSchema = new Schema({
  id: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  },
  createdBy: {
    type: String,
    required: true
  }
});

I've only gotten this far with Go:

type SchemaType struct {
  Key       string // I'm not sure about this bit
  Type      string
  Required  bool
  Default   func()
  Validate  [2]interface{}
  Maxlength [2]interface{}
  Minlength [2]interface{}
  Transform func()
}

type Schema struct {
    schema SchemaType
}

func (s *Schema) NewSchema(schema SchemaType) {
    s.schema = schema
}

func (s *Schema) Validate(collection string, data map[string]interface{}) map[string]interface{} {
    // do something with data
    return data
}

I'm a little stuck mainly because of the dynamic "key" in the SchemaType interface and am not sure how to replicate this in Go...

CodePudding user response：

The [key string]: part means that it's a dictionary with keys of type string. In Go that would be a map[string]<some type>.

type SchemaType map[string]SchemaTypeEntry

type SchemaTypeEntry struct {
  Type      string
  Required  bool
  // ...
}

or, drop the SchemaType type and change Schema:

type Schema struct {
    schema map[string]SchemaTypeEntry
}

Now, about the other fields, the look odd as you have defined them, and it's likely that it will not work the way you are showing here.

Default would be a value, not a func() (a function that doesn't return anything). You don't know what type the value is, so the type should be interface {} or any (since Go 1.18 - an alias for interface {}).

Transform - that would likely be a function that takes a value, transforms it, and returns a value - func(interface{}) interface{}

No idea what MinLength, MaxLength and Validate stand for in this context - it is unclear why they are arrays in Javascript, and how you can be sure that they are of exactly length 2 in Go.
