How to range over nested struct in golang? - dictionary

I am new to Golang:
These are my defined struct:
type Name map[string]Info
type Info struct {
Addresses string `json:"addresses"`
Host map[string]Server `json:"host"`
}
type Server struct {
Ipaddress string `json:"ip"`
Status string `json:"status"`
}
var result Name
after unmarshalling Json i get:
result = [
user1:{
192.168.98.0/26
map[
xx.user1.domain.com:{192.168.98.1 good}
xx.user1.domain.com:{192.168.98.3 good}
xx.user1.domain.com:{192.168.98.4 Bad}
]
}
user2: {
192.168.99.0/26
map[
xx.user2.domain.com:{192.168.99.1 good}
]
}
]
How to range over this Json to get the ipaddress which has a status=="good" for the particular user ?
I am trying to do this way:
for j , _ := range result["user1"].Servers {
if a := result["user1"].Servers[j]); a == "good" {
//Problem is here I am not sure how to further scan the ip and status
//do something
}
}
}

I think you want:
for _ , i := range result {
for _, j := range i.Host {
if j.Status == "good" {
server := j.Ip
}
}
}

Getting the map value with Golang

I couldn't do it because I didn't fully understand the logic, but you can look at my code example and output below. I just want to return the country name as a variable in the output.

}
for _, url := range urls {
u, _ := tld.Parse(url)
jq := gojsonq.New().File("./tld.json").From("tlds")
tldSlice := strings.Split(u.TLD, ".")
if len(tldSlice) == 2 {
jq.Where("fields.tld", "=", tldSlice[1]).Select("fields.country")
} else {
jq.Where("fields.tld", "strictContains", tldSlice[0]).Select("fields.country")
}
fmt.Printf("%s\n", u.TLD)
fmt.Printf("%v\n", jq.Get())
}
}
Output:
com
[map[country:Commercial organizations]]
co.uk
[map[country:United Kingdom]]
gov
[map[country:US government]]
Is this what you are looking for?
fmt.Printf("%s\n", u.TLD)
fmt.Printf("%v\n", jq.First().(map[string]interface{})["country"])

Marshalling a map with struct as key

I have a struct where one of the fields is a map with the key being another struct. I am using Go version 16.1 and the map created that way is supposedly supported in this version (albeit unsure when field is a map). Here is the relevant code and test that fails with unsupported type error.
package model
import (
"encoding/json"
slog "github.com/go-eden/slf4go"
)
type User struct{
ID string `json:"id" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
FName string `json:"fName"`
MName string `json:"mName"`
LName string `json:"lName"`
Jobs map[*Job]float64 `json:"jobs,omitempty"`
Password string `json:"password"`
IsAdmin bool `json:"isAdmin"`
}
func (u *User)IsModel()bool{
return true
}
func(u * User)ToJSON()string{
//var jsonUser string;
b,err := json.Marshal(u)
if err !=nil {
slog.Info(err)
return err.Error()
}
return string(b)
}
func (u * User)FromJSON(jsonString string)bool{
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonString),u)
if err != nil{
return false
}
return true
}
and the struct job is:
package model
import "encoding/json"
type Job struct{
ID string `json:"id" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
Name string `json:"name"`
}
func(j *Job)IsModel()bool{
return true
}
func(j *Job) ToJSON()string{
b,err := json.Marshal(j)
if err !=nil {
return err.Error()
}
return string(b)
}
func(j *Job) FromJSON(jsonString string)bool{
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonString),j)
if err != nil{
return false
}
return true
}
Finally the test that fails is the following (marshalling fails after I add the job to the jobs map):
package model
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
"testing"
)
func TestUser_ToJSON(t *testing.T) {
user := &User{
ID: "",
FName: "Mike",
MName: "",
LName: "Clovis",
Jobs: make(map[*Job]float64),
Password: "xyz",
IsAdmin: true,
}
newUser := &User{}
fmt.Println(user.ToJSON())
job := &Job{
ID: "1",
Name: "Cashier",
}
user.Jobs[job] = 12.99
fmt.Println("User as json")
fmt.Println(user.ToJSON())
newUser.FromJSON(user.ToJSON())
fmt.Println(newUser)
if reflect.DeepEqual(user,newUser) {
fmt.Println(newUser)
}else{
fmt.Println(user)
fmt.Println(newUser)
t.Error("Cannot marshal and unmarshal User struct")
}
dUser := *user
fmt.Println(dUser)
}
By my reading of the documentation this should work! If anyone has a suggestion or workaround I would appreciate it. As an FYI I have tried making the map with the key being both a job and as a pointer to the job with the same results.

Navigation into a map with a string path variable for golang

I would like to directly navigate to a value in a map. Lets be more specific with the following go code example which should give me the value of "Walter" directly: (https://play.golang.org/p/tYJsvp39hn)
type Signature struct{
Name string
Signed bool
}
path := "Document.Signatures.1.Name"
map := map[string]interface{}{
"Document": map[string]interface{}{
"Signatures": []interface{}{
Signature{ Name: "Hugo", Signed: false },
Signature{ Name: "Walter", Signed: false },
},
"Otherstuff": "asadwa",
},
"AlsoOtherStuff": "adwaw",
}
// map.giveMe(path)
// even better (if possible:) map.change(path,"ToThisNewValue")
I have searched for solutions, but I can't find any on the internet. Maybe one of you knows how to do this or knows a library to use for me.
Thank you so much in advance!
Quite a lot of reflect calls will be needed if there is no predefined struct.
That being said, you can do it by iterating through the map with type checking on every iteration and handling cases accordingly.
// Splitting the path into keys
keys := strings.Split(path, ".")
var value interface{} = map1
for _, key := range keys {
if value, err = Get(key, value); err != nil {
break
}
}
if err == nil {
fmt.Println("Value:", value)
} else {
fmt.Println("Error:", err)
}
func Get(key string, s interface{}) (v interface{}, err error) {
var (
i int64
ok bool
)
switch s.(type) {
case map[string]interface{}:
if v, ok = s.(map[string]interface{})[key]; !ok {
err = fmt.Errorf("Key not present. [Key:%s]", key)
}
case []interface{}:
if i, err = strconv.ParseInt(key, 10, 64); err == nil {
array := s.([]interface{})
if int(i) < len(array) {
v = array[i]
} else {
err = fmt.Errorf("Index out of bounds. [Index:%d] [Array:%v]", i, array)
}
}
case Signature:
r := reflect.ValueOf(s)
v = reflect.Indirect(r).FieldByName(key)
}
//fmt.Println("Value:", v, " Key:", key, "Error:", err)
return v, err
}

How to access deeply nested dictionaries in Swift

I have a pretty complex data structure in my app, which I need to manipulate. I am trying to keep track of how many types of bugs a player has in thier garden. There are ten types of bugs, each with ten patterns, each pattern having ten colors. So there are 1000 unique bugs possible, and I want to track how many of each of these types the player has. The nested dictionary looks like:
var colorsDict: [String : Int]
var patternsDict: [String : Any] // [String : colorsDict]
var bugsDict: [String : Any] // [String : patternsDict]
I do not get any errors or complaints with this syntax.
When I want to increment the player's bug collection though, doing this:
bugs["ladybug"]["spotted"]["red"]++
I get this error: String is not convertible to 'DictionaryIndex< String, Any >' with the error's carrot under the first string.
Another similar post suggested using "as Any?" in the code, but the OP of that post only had a dictionary one deep so could do that easily with: dict["string"] as Any? ...
I am not sure how to do this with a multilevel dictionary. Any help would be appreciated.
When working with dictionaries you have to remember that a key might not exist in the dictionary. For this reason, dictionaries always return optionals. So each time you access the dictionary by key you have to unwrap at each level as follows:
bugsDict["ladybug"]!["spotted"]!["red"]!++
I presume you know about optionals, but just to be clear, use the exclamation mark if you are 100% sure the key exists in the dictionary, otherwise it's better to use the question mark:
bugsDict["ladybug"]?["spotted"]?["red"]?++
Addendum: This is the code I used for testing in playground:
var colorsDict = [String : Int]()
var patternsDict = [String : [String : Int]] ()
var bugsDict = [String : [String : [String : Int]]] ()
colorsDict["red"] = 1
patternsDict["spotted"] = colorsDict
bugsDict["ladybug"] = patternsDict
bugsDict["ladybug"]!["spotted"]!["red"]!++ // Prints 1
bugsDict["ladybug"]!["spotted"]!["red"]!++ // Prints 2
bugsDict["ladybug"]!["spotted"]!["red"]!++ // Prints 3
bugsDict["ladybug"]!["spotted"]!["red"]! // Prints 4
Another option: You could try calling dict.value( forKeyPath: "ladybug.spotted.red" )!
So I just tried this with Swift 5:
import Foundation
var d = [ "ladybug" : [ "spotted" : [ "red" : 123 ] ] ] as [String:Any]
(d as NSDictionary).value(forKeyPath: "ladybug.spotted.red")
and it works, but this is probably the best way:
d["ladybug"]?["spotted"]?["red"]
I had the same issue, where I wanted to get boolValue nested in dictionary.
{
"Level1": {
"leve2": {
"code": 0,
"boolValue": 1
}
}
}
I tried a lot of solution but those didn't worked for me as i was missing type casting. So I used following code to get the boolValue from json, where json is a nested dictionary of type [String:Any].
let boolValue = ((json["level1"]
as? [String: Any])?["level2"]
as? [String: Any])?["boolValue"] as? Bool
My primary use case was reading ad-hoc values from a deep dictionary. None of the answers given worked for me in my Swift 3.1 project, so I went looking and found Ole Begemann's excellent extension for Swift dictionaries, with a detailed explanation on how it works.
I've made a Github gist with the Swift file I made for using it, and I welcome feedback.
To use it, you can add the Keypath.swift into your project, and then you can simply use a keyPath subscript syntax on any [String:Any] dictionary as follows.
Considering you have a JSON object like so:
{
"name":"John",
"age":30,
"cars": {
"car1":"Ford",
"car2":"BMW",
"car3":"Fiat"
}
}
stored in a dictionary var dict:[String:Any]. You could use the following syntax to get to the various depths of the object.
if let name = data[keyPath:"name"] as? String{
// name has "John"
}
if let age = data[keyPath:"age"] as? Int{
// age has 30
}
if let car1 = data[keyPath:"cars.car1"] as? String{
// car1 has "Ford"
}
Note that the extension supports writing into nested dictionaries as well, but I haven't yet used this.
I still haven't found a way to access arrays within dictionary objects using this, but it's a start! I'm looking for a JSON Pointer implementation for Swift but haven't found one, yet.
If it's only about retrieval (not manipulation) then here's a Dictionary extension for Swift 3 (code ready for pasting into Xcode playground) :
//extension
extension Dictionary where Key: Hashable, Value: Any {
func getValue(forKeyPath components : Array<Any>) -> Any? {
var comps = components;
let key = comps.remove(at: 0)
if let k = key as? Key {
if(comps.count == 0) {
return self[k]
}
if let v = self[k] as? Dictionary<AnyHashable,Any> {
return v.getValue(forKeyPath : comps)
}
}
return nil
}
}
//read json
let json = "{\"a\":{\"b\":\"bla\"},\"val\":10}" //
if let parsed = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: json.data(using: .utf8)!, options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions.mutableContainers) as? Dictionary<AnyHashable,Any>
{
parsed.getValue(forKeyPath: ["a","b"]) //-> "bla"
parsed.getValue(forKeyPath: ["val"]) //-> 10
}
//dictionary with different key types
let test : Dictionary<AnyHashable,Any> = ["a" : ["b" : ["c" : "bla"]], 0 : [ 1 : [ 2 : "bla"]], "four" : [ 5 : "bla"]]
test.getValue(forKeyPath: ["a","b","c"]) //-> "bla"
test.getValue(forKeyPath: ["a","b"]) //-> ["c": "bla"]
test.getValue(forKeyPath: [0,1,2]) //-> "bla"
test.getValue(forKeyPath: ["four",5]) //-> "bla"
test.getValue(forKeyPath: ["a","b","d"]) //-> nil
//dictionary with strings as keys
let test2 = ["one" : [ "two" : "three"]]
test2.getValue(forKeyPath: ["one","two"]) //-> "three"
Unfortunately none of these methods worked for me, so I built my own to use a simple string path like "element0.element1.element256.element1", etc. Hope this save a time for others. (just use a dots between name of elements in string)
Json example:
{
"control": {
"type": "Button",
"name": "Save",
"ui": {
"scale": 0.5,
"padding": {
"top": 24,
"bottom": 32
}
}
}
}
Step 1, convert json String to Dictionary
static func convertToDictionary(text: String) -> [String: Any]? {
if let data = text.data(using: .utf8) {
do {
return try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: []) as? [String: Any]
} catch {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
return nil
}
Step 2, helper to get a nested objects
//path example: "control.ui.scale"
static func getDictValue(dict:[String: Any], path:String)->Any?{
let arr = path.components(separatedBy: ".")
if(arr.count == 1){
return dict[String(arr[0])]
}
else if (arr.count > 1){
let p = arr[1...arr.count-1].joined(separator: ".")
let d = dict[String(arr[0])] as? [String: Any]
if (d != nil){
return getDictValue(dict:d!, path:p)
}
}
return nil
}
Step 3, use helper
let controlScale = getDictValue(dict:dict, path: "control.ui.scale") as! Double?
print(controlScale)
let controlName = getDictValue(dict:dict, path: "control.name") as! String?
print(controlName)
Returns
0.5
Save
The Swift 4 default: subscript for Dictionaries makes makes updating values in nested Dictionaries much more concise.
Get and Set a default value rather than dealing with optionals:
var dict = [String : [String : String]]()
dict["deep", default: [:]]["nested"] = "dictionary"
print(dict)
// ["deep": ["nested": "dictionary"]]
https://swift.org/blog/dictionary-and-set-improvements/
You can use this extension:
extension Dictionary {
/// - Description
/// - The function will return a value on given keypath
/// - if Dictionary is ["team": ["name": "KNR"]] the to fetch team name pass keypath: team.name
/// - If you will pass "team" in keypath it will return team object
/// - Parameter keyPath: keys joined using '.' such as "key1.key2.key3"
func valueForKeyPath <T> (_ keyPath: String) -> T? {
let array = keyPath.components(separatedBy: ".")
return value(array, self) as? T
}
/// - Description:"
/// - The function will return a value on given keypath. It keep calling recursively until reach to the keypath. Here are few sample:
/// - if Dictionary is ["team": ["name": "KNR"]] the to fetch team name pass keypath: team.name
/// - If you will pass "team" in keypath it will return team object
/// - Parameters:
/// - keys: array of keys in a keypath
/// - dictionary: The dictionary in which value need to find
private func value(_ keys: [String], _ dictionary: Any?) -> Any? {
guard let dictionary = dictionary as? [String: Any], !keys.isEmpty else {
return nil
}
if keys.count == 1 {
return dictionary[keys[0]]
}
return value(Array(keys.suffix(keys.count - 1)), dictionary[keys[0]])
}
}
Usage:
let dictionary = ["values" : ["intValue": 3]]
let value: Int = dictionary.valueForKeyPath("values.intValue")
You can use the following syntax on Swift 3/4:
if let name = data["name"] as? String {
// name has "John"
}
if let age = data["age"] as? Int {
// age has 30
}
if let car = data["cars"] as? [String:AnyObject],
let car1 = car["car1"] as? String {
// car1 has "Ford"
}
Yet another approach using various overloaded Dictionary subscript implementations:
let dict = makeDictionary(fromJSONString:
"""
{
"control": {
"type": "Button",
"name": "Save",
"ui": {
"scale": 0.5,
"padding": {
"top": 24,
"bottom": 32
}
}
}
}
""")!
dict[Int.self, ["control", "ui", "padding", "top"]] // 1
dict[Int.self, "control", "ui", "padding", "top"] // 2
dict[Int.self, "control.ui.padding.top"] // 3
And the actual implementations:
extension Dictionary {
// 1
subscript<T>(_ type: T.Type, _ pathKeys: [Key]) -> T? {
precondition(pathKeys.count > 0)
if pathKeys.count == 1 {
return self[pathKeys[0]] as? T
}
// Drill down to the innermost dictionary accessible through next-to-last key
var dict: [Key: Value]? = self
for currentKey in pathKeys.dropLast() {
dict = dict?[currentKey] as? [Key: Value]
if dict == nil {
return nil
}
}
return dict?[pathKeys.last!] as? T
}
// 2. Calls 1
subscript<T>(_ type: T.Type, _ pathKeys: Key...) -> T? {
return self[type, pathKeys]
}
}
extension Dictionary where Key == String {
// 3. Calls 1
subscript<T>(_ type: T.Type, _ keyPath: String) -> T? {
return self[type, keyPath.components(separatedBy: ".")]
}
}
func makeDictionary(fromJSONString jsonString: String) -> [String: Any]? {
guard let data = jsonString.data(using: .utf8)
else { return nil}
let ret = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data, options: [])
return ret as? [String: Any]
}
Yet another Dictionary extension
public extension Dictionary where Key: Hashable, Value: Any {
subscript(keyPath path: String) -> Value? {
self[keyPath: path.components(separatedBy: ".").compactMap { $0 as? Key }]
}
private subscript(keyPath keys: [Key]) -> Value? {
var keys = keys
switch keys.first {
case .some(let key) where keys.count == 1:
return self[key]
case .some(let key) where keys.count > 1:
keys.removeFirst()
return (self[key] as? Dictionary<Key, Value>)?[keyPath: keys]
default:
return nil
}
}
}
Test code:
let dict: [String: Any] = [
"user": [
"name": "Giorgio",
"surname": "Baldazzi"
]
]
let keyPath = "user.name"
print(String(describing: dict[keyPath: keyPath]))

Go map of functions

I have Go program that has a function defined. I also have a map that should have a key for each function. How can I do that?
I have tried this, but this doesn't work.
func a(param string) {
}
m := map[string] func {
'a_func': a,
}
for key, value := range m {
if key == 'a_func' {
value(param)
}
}
Are you trying to do something like this? I've revised the example to use varying types and numbers of function parameters.
package main
import "fmt"
func f(p string) {
fmt.Println("function f parameter:", p)
}
func g(p string, q int) {
fmt.Println("function g parameters:", p, q)
}
func main() {
m := map[string]interface{}{
"f": f,
"g": g,
}
for k, v := range m {
switch k {
case "f":
v.(func(string))("astring")
case "g":
v.(func(string, int))("astring", 42)
}
}
}
m := map[string]func(string, string)
Works if you know the signature (and all the funcs have the same signature)
I think this is cleaner/safer than using interface{}
You can define a type if functions are same interface.
package main
import "log"
type fn func (string)
func foo(msg string) {
log.Printf("foo! Message is %s", msg)
}
func bar(msg string) {
log.Printf("bar! Message is %s", msg)
}
func main() {
m := map[string] fn {
"f": foo,
"b": bar,
}
log.Printf("map is %v", m)
m["f"]("Hello")
m["b"]("World")
}
#Seth Hoenig's answer helped me best, but I just wanted to add that Go accepts functions with defined return value as well:
package main
func main() {
m := map[string]func(string) string{
"foo": func(s string) string { return s + "nurf" },
}
m["foo"]("baz") // "baznurf"
}
If you think it's ugly, you could always use a type (see #smagch's answer).
I used a map[string]func (a type, b *type) I passed a string to search the map and a pointer to modify the slice.
Hope that helps!
var Exceptions map[string]func(step string, item *structs.Item)
func SetExceptions() {
Exceptions = map[string]func(a string, i *structs.Item){
"step1": step1,
}
}
func RunExceptions(state string, item *structs.Item) {
method, methBool := Exceptions[state]
if methBool {
method(state, item)
}
}
func step1(step string, item *structs.Item) {
item.Title = "Modified"
}
Here is the way I made it work in my case:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
var routes map[string]func() string
func main() {
routes = map[string]func() string{
"GET /": homePage,
"GET /about": aboutPage,
}
fmt.Println("GET /", pageContent("GET /"))
fmt.Println("GET /about", pageContent("GET /about"))
fmt.Println("GET /unknown", pageContent("GET /unknown"))
// Output:
// GET / Home page
// GET /about About page
// GET /unknown 404: Page Not Found
}
func pageContent(route string) string {
page, ok := routes[route]
if ok {
return page()
} else {
return notFoundPage()
}
}
func homePage() string {
return "Home page"
}
func aboutPage() string {
return "About page"
}
func notFoundPage() string {
return "404: Page Not Found"
}
https://play.golang.org/p/8_g6Di1OKZS
Hope this works for you(you can use interface{} instead any)
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func toon(v any) {
fmt.Println(v)
}
func main() {
names := map[string]any{
"Function": toon,
}
names["Function"].(func(any))("a")
}
