I'm trying to convert struct field "Category" to string so that I could do the concatenation in ConcatenateNotification.
Anybody knows how to do it?
Please, see my code snippet below.
//Category is enum of
//available notification types (semantic meaning of the notification)
type Category string
// Category allowed values
const (
FlowFailure Category = "flow_failure"
WriterResult Category = "writer_result"
)
//Notification is struct containing all information about notification
type Notification struct {
UserID int
Category Category
}
//ConcatenateNotification loads data from Notification struct and concatenates them into one string, "\n" delimited
func ConcatenateNotification(n Notification) (msg string) {
values := []string{}
values = append(values, "UserID: " + strconv.Itoa(n.UserID))
values = append(values, "Category: " + (n.Category)) // Anybody knows how to convert this value to string?
msg = strings.Join(values, "\n")
return msg
Since Category
is already an underlying string
, you can simply:
values = append(values, "Category: " + string(n.Category))
