Go Redis convert HGetAll result to struct

Question

I'm getting data from the redis.HGetAll but found no clean way to convert results into my Struct.

var object struct {
    x int
}

result := redisClient.HGetAll(context.Background(), "the_h_key")

//TODO import the result content into the object 

Is there any function for this spectacular case?

I'm using the JSON package(marshal, then UnMarshal to a struct).

Answer 1

The result from Redis is a map[string]string. For each field in the struct, get the value from the map, convert the string to the field type and assign to the field.

 var o object
 var err error

 o.x, err = strconv.Atoi(m["x"])
 if err != nil {
      // handle the error
 }

 ... repeat for other fields as needed

If your datastructure isn't too complex, one convenient way to save data using redis is as jsons. Just json.Marhsal() your struct and save it as a string and then json.Unmarshal() that string into your struct back.
