Package form Decodes url.Values into Go value(s) and Encodes Go value(s) into url.Values.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It has the following features:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Supports map of almost all types.
|
||
|
- Supports both Numbered and Normal arrays eg. `"Array[0]"` and just `"Array"` with multiple values passed.
|
||
|
- Slice honours the specified index. eg. if "Slice[2]" is the only Slice value passed down, it will be put at index 2; if slice isn't big enough it will be expanded.
|
||
|
- Array honours the specified index. eg. if "Array[2]" is the only Array value passed down, it will be put at index 2; if array isn't big enough a warning will be printed and value ignored.
|
||
|
- Only creates objects as necessary eg. if no `array` or `map` values are passed down, the `array` and `map` are left as their default values in the struct.
|
||
|
- Allows for Custom Type registration.
|
||
|
- Handles time.Time using RFC3339 time format by default, but can easily be changed by registering a Custom Type, see below.
|
||
|
- Handles Encoding & Decoding of almost all Go types eg. can Decode into struct, array, map, int... and Encode a struct, array, map, int...
|
||
|
|
||
|
Common Questions
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Does it support encoding.TextUnmarshaler? No because TextUnmarshaler only accepts []byte but posted values can have multiple values, so is not suitable.
|
||
|
- Mixing `array/slice` with `array[idx]/slice[idx]`, in which order are they parsed? `array/slice` then `array[idx]/slice[idx]`
|
||
|
|
||
|
Supported Types ( out of the box )
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
|
||
|
* `string`
|
||
|
* `bool`
|
||
|
* `int`, `int8`, `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
|
||
|
* `uint`, `uint8`, `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
|
||
|
* `float32`, `float64`
|
||
|
* `struct` and `anonymous struct`
|
||
|
* `interface{}`
|
||
|
* `time.Time` - by default using RFC3339
|
||
|
* a `pointer` to one of the above types
|
||
|
* `slice`, `array`
|
||
|
* `map`
|
||
|
* `custom types` can override any of the above types
|
||
|
* many other types may be supported inherently
|
||
|
|
||
|
**NOTE**: `map`, `struct` and `slice` nesting are ad infinitum.
|

|
||
|
Installation
|
||
|
------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Use go get.
|
||
|
|
||
|
go get github.com/go-playground/form
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then import the form package into your own code.
|
||
|
|
||
|
import "github.com/go-playground/form/v4"
|
||
|
|
||
|
Usage
|
||
|
-----
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Use symbol `.` for separating fields/structs. (eg. `structfield.field`)
|
||
|
- Use `[index or key]` for access to index of a slice/array or key for map. (eg. `arrayfield[0]`, `mapfield[keyvalue]`)
|
||

|
Encoding
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
package main
|
||
|
|
||
|
import (
|
||
|
"fmt"
|
||
|
"log"

)

|
|

|
// Address contains address information
|
||
|
type Address struct {
|
||
|
Name string
|
||
|
Phone string
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|

type User struct {

}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// use a single instance of Encoder, it caches struct info
|
||
|
var encoder *form.Encoder
|
||
|
|
||
|
func main() {
|
||
|
encoder = form.NewEncoder()
|
||
|
|
||
|
user := User{
|
||
|
Name: "joeybloggs",
|
||
|
Age: 3,
|
||
|
Gender: "Male",
|
||
|
Address: []Address{
|
||
|
{Name: "26 Here Blvd.", Phone: "9(999)999-9999"},
|
||
|
{Name: "26 There Blvd.", Phone: "1(111)111-1111"},
|
||
|
},
|
||
|
Active: true,
|
||
|
MapExample: map[string]string{"key": "value"},
|
||
|
NestedMap: map[string]map[string]string{"key": {"key": "value"}},
|
||
|
NestedArray: [][]string{{"value"}},
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// must pass a pointer
|
||
|
values, err := encoder.Encode(&user)
|
||
|
if err != nil {
|
||
|
log.Panic(err)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
fmt.Printf("%#v\n", values)
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Registering Custom Types
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Decoder
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
decoder.RegisterCustomTypeFunc(func(vals []string) (interface{}, error) {
|
||
|
return time.Parse("2006-01-02", vals[0])
|
||
|
}, time.Time{})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
ADDITIONAL: if a struct type is registered, the function will only be called if a url.Value exists for
|
||
|
the struct and not just the struct fields eg. url.Values{"User":"Name%3Djoeybloggs"} will call the
|
||
|
custom type function with 'User' as the type, however url.Values{"User.Name":"joeybloggs"} will not.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
Encoder
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
encoder.RegisterCustomTypeFunc(func(x interface{}) ([]string, error) {
|
||
|
return []string{x.(time.Time).Format("2006-01-02")}, nil
|
||
|
}, time.Time{})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Ignoring Fields
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
you can tell form to ignore fields using `-` in the tag
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type MyStruct struct {
|
||
|
Field string `form:"-"`
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Omitempty
|
||
|
--------------
|
||
|
you can tell form to omit empty fields using `,omitempty` or `FieldName,omitempty` in the tag
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
type MyStruct struct {
|
||
|
Field string `form:",omitempty"`
|
||
|
Field2 string `form:"CustomFieldName,omitempty"`
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Notes
|
||
|
------
|
||
|
To maximize compatibility with other systems the Encoder attempts
|
||
|
to avoid using array indexes in url.Values if at all possible.
|
||
|
|
||
|
eg.
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
// A struct field of
|
||
|
Field []string{"1", "2", "3"}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// will be output a url.Value as
|
||
|
"Field": []string{"1", "2", "3"}
|
||
|
|
||
|
and not
|
||
|
"Field[0]": []string{"1"}
|
||
|
"Field[1]": []string{"2"}
|
||
|
"Field[2]": []string{"3"}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// however there are times where it is unavoidable, like with pointers
|
||
|
i := int(1)
|
||
|
Field []*string{nil, nil, &i}
|
||
|
|
||
|
// to avoid index 1 and 2 must use index
|
||
|
"Field[2]": []string{"1"}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|

Benchmarks

|
||
|
###### Run on MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017) using go version go1.10.1 darwin/amd64
|
||
|
|
||
|
NOTE: the 1 allocation and B/op in the first 4 decodes is actually the struct allocating when passing it in, so primitives are actually zero allocation.

Complimentary Software
|
||
|
----------------------
|
||
|
|
||
|
Here is a list of software that compliments using this library post decoding.
|
||
|
|
||
|
* [Validator](https://github.com/go-playground/validator) - Go Struct and Field validation, including Cross Field, Cross Struct, Map, Slice and Array diving.
|
||
|
* [mold](https://github.com/go-playground/mold) - Is a general library to help modify or set data within data structures and other objects.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Package Versioning
|
||
|
----------
|
||
|
I'm jumping on the vendoring bandwagon, you should vendor this package as I will not
|
||
|
be creating different version with gopkg.in like allot of my other libraries.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Why? because my time is spread pretty thin maintaining all of the libraries I have + LIFE,
|
||
|
it is so freeing not to worry about it and will help me keep pouring out bigger and better
|
||
|
things for you the community.
