lang.IndexTemplateObject() (template API)

Laurence MorganAbout 4 minAPI Reference

lang.IndexTemplateObject() (template API)

Returns element(s) from a data structure

Description

This is a template API you can use for your custom data types.

It should only be called from ReadIndex() and ReadNotIndex() functions.

This function ensures consistency with the index, [, builtin when used with different Murex data types. Thus making indexing a data type agnostic capability.

Examples

Example calling lang.IndexTemplateObject() function:

package json

import (
	"github.com/lmorg/murex/lang"
	"github.com/lmorg/murex/utils/json"
)

func index(p *lang.Process, params []string) error {
	var jInterface interface{}

	b, err := p.Stdin.ReadAll()
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	err = json.Unmarshal(b, &jInterface)
	if err != nil {
		return err
	}

	marshaller := func(iface interface{}) ([]byte, error) {
		return json.Marshal(iface, p.Stdout.IsTTY())
	}

	return lang.IndexTemplateObject(p, params, &jInterface, marshaller)
}

Parameters

  1. *lang.Process: Process's runtime state. Typically expressed as the variable p
  2. []string: slice of parameters used in [ / ![
  3. *interface{}: a pointer to the data structure being indexed
  4. func(interface{}) ([]byte, error): data type marshaller function
