Structure embedding and modelling

[rahulkmr]

type Base struct {
    Created int64   `db:"created"`
    Updated int64   `db:"updated"`
}

func (b *Base) PreInsert(s gorp.SqlExecutor) error {
    b.Created = time.Now().UnixNano()
    b.Updated = b.Created
    return nil
}

func (b *Base) PreUpdate(s gorp.SqlExecutor) error {
    b.Updated = time.Now().UnixNano()
    return nil
}

type Post struct {
    Id int  `db:"id"`
    Name string `db:"name"`
    Title string    `db:"title"`
    Content string  `db:"content"`
    *Base
}

dbmap.createTables creates Post table with a member Base varchar(255). Does gorp support embedding structs? If yes, how do I do it?

Hi there,

It doesn't support embedding yet, but it's a worthy enhancement. I'll keep this ticket open.

thanks.

FYI, I have submitted a pull request that implements support for embedded structs: https://github.com/coopernurse/gorp/pull/42

Yep, this was merged. Closing this ticket.
