Codeship Status for AreaHQ/jsonhal

jsonhal

A simple Go package to make custom structs marshal into HAL compatible JSON responses.

Just add jsonhal.Hal as anonymous field to your structs and use SetLink to set hyperlinks and optionally SetEmbedded to set embedded resources.

Example:

package main

import (
	"encoding/json"
	"log"

	"github.com/AreaHQ/jsonhal"
)

// HelloWorld ...
type HelloWorld struct {
	jsonhal.Hal
	ID   uint   `json:"id"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

// Foobar ...
type Foobar struct {
	jsonhal.Hal
	ID   uint   `json:"id"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}

func main() {
	var (
		helloWorld   *HelloWorld
		jsonResponse []byte
		err          error
	)

	helloWorld = &HelloWorld{ID: 1, Name: "Hello World"}
	helloWorld.SetLink("self", "/v1/hello/world/1", "")

	jsonResponse, err = json.Marshal(helloWorld)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Print(string(jsonResponse))
	// {
	// 	"_links": {
	// 		"self": {
	// 			"href": "/v1/hello/world/1"
	// 		}
	// 	},
	// 	"id": 1,
	// 	"name": "Hello World"
	// }

	helloWorld = &HelloWorld{ID: 1, Name: "Hello World"}
	helloWorld.SetLink(
		"self", // name
		"/v1/hello/world?offset=2&limit=2", // href
		"", // title
	)
	helloWorld.SetLink(
		"next", // name
		"/v1/hello/world?offset=4&limit=2", // href
		"", // title
	)
	helloWorld.SetLink(
		"previous",                         // name
		"/v1/hello/world?offset=0&limit=2", // href
		"", // title
	)
	jsonResponse, err = json.Marshal(helloWorld)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Print(string(jsonResponse))
	// {
	// 	"_links": {
	// 		"next": {
	// 			"href": "/v1/hello/world?offset=4\u0026limit=2"
	// 		},
	// 		"previous": {
	// 			"href": "/v1/hello/world?offset=0\u0026limit=2"
	// 		},
	// 		"self": {
	// 			"href": "/v1/hello/world?offset=2\u0026limit=2"
	// 		}
	// 	},
	// 	"id": 1,
	// 	"name": "Hello World"
	// }

	helloWorld = &HelloWorld{ID: 1, Name: "Hello World"}
	helloWorld.SetLink("self", "/v1/hello/world/1", "")

	// Add embedded resources
	foobars := []*Foobar{
		&Foobar{
			Hal: jsonhal.Hal{
				Links: map[string]*jsonhal.Link{
					"self": &jsonhal.Link{Href: "/v1/foo/bar/1"},
				},
			},
			ID:   1,
			Name: "Foo bar 1",
		},
		&Foobar{
			Hal: jsonhal.Hal{
				Links: map[string]*jsonhal.Link{
					"self": &jsonhal.Link{Href: "/v1/foo/bar/2"},
				},
			},
			ID:   2,
			Name: "Foo bar 2",
		},
	}
	helloWorld.SetEmbedded("foobars", Embedded(foobars))

	jsonResponse, err = json.Marshal(helloWorld)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Print(string(jsonResponse))
	// {
	// 	"_links": {
	// 		"self": {
	// 			"href": "/v1/hello/world/1"
	// 		}

	// 		"foobars": [
	// 			{

	// 					}
	// 				},
