Support question: Is it possible to unmarshal into a struct?

[flimzy]

My apologies if this is addressed elsewhere, but I've looked through the example code, and all past issues and PRs, and haven't found an answer to my question.

I gather that through the use of a Wrapper, it ought to be possible to unmarshal a JSON:API document into a Go struct, but how?

The unmarshal_document_test.go example uses a struct type (User{} and Article{}) to define the schema, but then when printing the result, it uses res.Get, rather than accessing an instance of the *User and/or *Article types.

Is this possible? If so, how?

Thanks.

I don't think it's currently possible to do what you are asking here, but it probably should.

Originally, you'd use the struct to build a Type and provide it to the Schema. Since then, a feature was added to create new instances from a Type (NewFunc field).

Using that feature, I can think of a method called ToStruct (just an example) that would create a new object using whatever was used to build the type, then populate it with the correct attributes and relationships, then return that.

I will think about this.
