Golang Gorm one-to-many with has-one
As described in this issue, gorm is not designed to use joins to preload other structs values. If you would like to continue to use gorm and have the ability to use joins to load values, one must use the SQL Builder exposed in gorm, and write some code to scan the desired values.
This would become burdensome if there are numerous tables that have to be accounted for. If xorm is available as an option, they support loading struct values. Described under the find bullet point, here.
Note: I did not scan all the fields, just enough to get the point across.
EXAMPLE:
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/jinzhu/gorm"
_ "github.com/jinzhu/gorm/dialects/sqlite"
"github.com/kylelemons/godebug/pretty"
)
// Order
type Order struct {
gorm.Model
Status string
OrderItems []OrderItem
}
// Order line item
type OrderItem struct {
gorm.Model
OrderID uint
ItemID uint
Item Item
Quantity int
}
// Product
type Item struct {
gorm.Model
ItemName string
Amount float32
}
var (
items = []Item{
{ItemName: "Go Mug", Amount: 12.49},
{ItemName: "Go Keychain", Amount: 6.95},
{ItemName: "Go Tshirt", Amount: 17.99},
}
)
func main() {
db, err := gorm.Open("sqlite3", "/tmp/gorm.db")
db.LogMode(true)
if err != nil {
log.Panic(err)
}
defer db.Close()
// Migrate the schema
db.AutoMigrate(&OrderItem{}, &Order{}, &Item{})
// Create Items
for index := range items {
db.Create(&items[index])
}
order := Order{Status: "pending"}
db.Create(&order)
item1 := OrderItem{OrderID: order.ID, ItemID: items[0].ID, Quantity: 1}
item2 := OrderItem{OrderID: order.ID, ItemID: items[1].ID, Quantity: 4}
db.Create(&item1)
db.Create(&item2)
// Query with joins
rows, err := db.Table("orders").Where("orders.id = ? and status = ?", order.ID, "pending").
Joins("Join order_items on order_items.order_id = orders.id").
Joins("Join items on items.id = order_items.id").
Select("orders.id, orders.status, order_items.order_id, order_items.item_id, order_items.quantity" +
", items.item_name, items.amount").Rows()
if err != nil {
log.Panic(err)
}
defer rows.Close()
// Values to load into
newOrder := &Order{}
newOrder.OrderItems = make([]OrderItem, 0)
for rows.Next() {
orderItem := OrderItem{}
item := Item{}
err = rows.Scan(&newOrder.ID, &newOrder.Status, &orderItem.OrderID, &orderItem.ItemID, &orderItem.Quantity, &item.ItemName, &item.Amount)
if err != nil {
log.Panic(err)
}
orderItem.Item = item
newOrder.OrderItems = append(newOrder.OrderItems, orderItem)
}
log.Print(pretty.Sprint(newOrder))
}
Output:
