Convert bool to tinyint golang












1















I am using the latest version of xorm and want to create a simple go struct as follows:



types myStruct struct {
isDeleted bool `xorm:"'isDeleted' tinyint(3)"`
}


I know the bool type in go evaluates to true and false, but I need to map it to a mySql database where the values are tinyint(3) and 1 maps to true and 0 to false. In the example above no matter what my post requests look like isDeleted always evaluates to 0. Thanks in advance for any advice on this issue. This https://github.com/go-xorm/xorm/issues/673 may provide some context.

  • A boolean in MySQL IS a tinyint. Any particular reason the column was specified as a tinyint instead of a boolean? This could have been avoided by having the database handle it.

I'm not sure what/if xorm can do about it, but you can just create a type and implement the Valuer and Scanner interfaces for it. Here is an example I did a pull request for using a bit(1) for a bool.



https://github.com/jmoiron/sqlx/blob/master/types/types.go#L152



For an integer, you would just return the int instead of a byte containing the int. Like so:



type IntBool bool

// Value implements the driver.Valuer interface,
// and turns the IntBool into an integer for MySQL storage.
func (i IntBool) Value() (driver.Value, error) {
if i {
return 1, nil
}
return 0, nil
}

// Scan implements the sql.Scanner interface,
// and turns the int incoming from MySQL into an IntBool
func (i *IntBool) Scan(src interface{}) error {
v, ok := src.(int)
if !ok {
return errors.New("bad int type assertion")
}
*i = v == 1
return nil
}


Then your struct would just use the new type



type myStruct struct {
isDeleted IntBool `xorm:"'isDeleted' tinyint(3)"`
}


But, again, is there any particular reason you declared this boolean value as a tinyint? MySQL has a boolean type and things would just work.
