I am new to golang and grpc, need guidance and clarification. I have below definition as a parameter to call a POST request for an external API.
params := map[string]string{
"movie": movie,
"seat": seat,
"pax": fmt.Sprint(pax),
"class": class,
}
In proto file, I have below:
message TicketData {
string movie= 1;
string seat= 2;
uint32 pax= 3;
string class = 4;
}
message SearchMovieRequest {
TicketData data= 1;
}
However in POSTMAN (grpc request), the body request is showing below:
{
"data":
{
"movie": "abc",
"seat": "123",
"pax": 2,
"class ": "b""
}
}
the request body should be below:
{
"data": **[**
{
"movie": "abc",
"seat": "123",
"pax": 2,
"class ": "b""
}
**]** - missing brackets in my json body
}
I have tried using structpb and also map string interface. It doesn't seem to work. Any pointer will be appreciated. Thank you.
You want the data
field to be repeated TicketData
.
See e.g. Specifying Field Rules in the Protobuf Language Guide (proto3).
Specifically:
message TicketData {
string movie= 1;
string seat= 2;
uint32 pax= 3;
string class = 4;
}
message SearchMovieRequest {
repeated TicketData data= 1;
}
NOTE Although you include protobuf definitions, your examples are JSON. Protobuf implementations usually include automatic mappings between protobuf and JSON which is -- I assume -- what you're presenting.
