Error on generation of nested objects in array

[decima]

Found a little issue on substructures in nested objects in array.

For example :

[
  {
    "a": 1,
    "b": {
    "b1": 1,
    "b2": "B2"
    }
  },
  {
    "b": {
    "b3": 3,
        "b4": "B4"
    }
  }
]

will generate:

type AutoGenerated []struct {
    A int `json:"a,omitempty"`
    B struct {
        B1 int    `json:"b1"`
        B2 string `json:"b2"`
    } `json:"b,omitempty"`
    B struct {
        B3 int    `json:"b3"`
        B4 string `json:"b4"`
    } `json:"b,omitempty"`
}

Thanks!

Does anyone have time to submit a patch? I'm a bit swamped this week and next.

I take a look at the code, and I don't know which "merge/duplicate"strategy you want to use :

should B be a struct with B1,B2,B3,B4 or should we have two structures BFirst {B1, B2} BSecond {B3,B4} ?

The second strategy (name it "duplicate") seems easier to implement as we could image B struct and B_uuidv4() struct as you already do. For my case I wanted the first strategy ("merge") but that would mean a deep merge. This would end up with weird behaviour if we have nested array in the nested objects.

In my case I was on a structure like this:

{
    "stores": [{
            "sign": "wallmart",
            "address": {
                "street": "1st street",
                "zipcode": "123456",
                "city": "randomCity1",
                "phone": "1234567890"
            }
        },
        {
            "sign": "bestbuy",
            "address": {
                "street": "2nd street",
                "zipcode": "654321",
                "city": "randomCity2"
            }
        }
    ]
}

and it seems pretty obvious that in this case, addresses structs should be merged. In other less well-structured jsons, we would like to end up with two structures

So basically in which direction would you like to go?

Similar issue with key-value in json. Ex:

    "packages":[
        {
            "name":"p1",
            "version":""
        }
    ],
    "vendorPackages":{
        "vp1":{
            "name":"",
            "version":"123"
        },
        "vp2":{
            "name":"456",
            "version":""
        }
    }
}

Should be

type Packages struct {
    Name    string `json:"name"`
    Version string `json:"version"`
}

type GMF struct {
    Packages       []Packages          `json:"packages"`
    VendorPackages map[string]Packages `json:"vendorPackages"`
}

Instead of

type Autogenerated struct {
    Packages []struct {
        Name    string `json:"name"`
        Version string `json:"version"`
    } `json:"packages"`
    Vendorpackages struct {
        Vp1 struct {
            Name    string `json:"name"`
            Version string `json:"version"`
        } `json:"vp1"`
        Vp2 struct {
            Name    string `json:"name"`
            Version string `json:"version"`
        } `json:"vp2"`
    } `json:"vendorPackages"`
}
