Golang : Fix type interface{} has no field or no methods and type assertions example
For new comers to Golang exploring interface{}
for the first time or if you ever use interface{} to handle some arbitrary data, chances are that you will see this error message :
type interface {} has no field or method
or
type interface {} is interface with no methods
To fix this problem, you will need to convert the interface{} to a suitable type or extract the value(variable) with the explicit(correct)type from the interface{} with type assertions.
For example :
// convert the json objects from interface{} to []interface{}
// [] = slice/array type
var jsonObjs interface{}
json.Unmarshal([]byte(jsonStr), &jsonObjs)
objSlice, ok := jsonObjs.([]interface{})
or
// convert invoices to map[string]interface{}
for index, value := range invoices.(map[string]interface{}) {
fmt.Println(index, value)
}
Hope this helps!
