Single Struct

[emmaLP]

Really like the idea of this and really helps with duplicate code for across multiple tables (structs). Could the repository code handle just sue the db entity instead of converting between a domain struct and the db struct?

Hi @emmaLP .

Thank you for asking.
Yes, that is possible to do it, although I like to make a cut between domain model and DTO. But, yes, it is possible to do that :)

Hi, if I have understood your need correctly, there's a way you can already achieve this

when instantiating the new repo you can use twice the model
repo := gorm_generics.NewRepository[Model, Model](db)

and in your model you can implement toEntity and fromEntity this way

func (m Model) ToEntity() Model {
	return m    
} 
func (m Model) FromEntity(m Model) interface{} {
	return m
}

Then it will work with only one single struct
