GoLang Redis : Map & Slice

I'm using GoLang to get a data from redis hash and then map into a struct.



type Person struct {
ID string `json:"id"`
FirstName string `json:"firstName"`
LastName string `json:"lastName"`
Filters interface{} `json:"filters"`
Type string `json:"type"`
}


In Redis, a hash field contains a stringified JSON.




HGET hashname fieldname




Above returns a stringified JSON.



Now "filters" key can be array or map based on the type (That's why I defined Filters type as interface in struct).

I marshall the JSON like below:



var p Person
content, err := redis.HGet("hashName", "id").Result()
_ = json.Unmarshal(byte(content), &p)


Now I have to loop over filters like below but this is giving error that cannot range over p.Filters (type interface {}) (I understand why this error is coming)



for _, filter := range p.Filters {
fmt.Println(filter)
}


Is there any way we can handle this situation?



Thanks,

Shashank

    Are you asking how to convert JSON text to Go values where an element of the JSON can be an array or object? If so, give examples of the two variants of the JSON. Redis seems to be unrelated to the problem.

You need to convert Filters type interface{} into the expected slice. If you don't really know what type it will be, you can use map[string]interface{}. Therefore change your Filters type to map[string]interface{}.



Per more information
If Filters can be an array (or not), then you might consider a type switch:



A simple example:



package main

import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
)

func main() {
var i interface{}
//json.Unmarshal(byte(`["hi"]`), &i)
json.Unmarshal(byte(`{"a":"hi"}`), &i)

switch i.(type) {
case interface{}:
println("ARRAY")
case map[string]interface{}:
println("NOT ARRAY")
default:
fmt.Printf("%Tn", i)
}
}
