lang.IndexTemplateObject() (template API)

Returns element(s) from a data structure

Description

This is a template API you can use for your custom data types.

It should only be called from ReadIndex() and ReadNotIndex() functions.

This function ensures consistency with the index, [, builtin when used with different Murex data types. Thus making indexing a data type agnostic capability.

Examples

Example calling lang.IndexTemplateObject() function:

package json

import (
    "github.com/lmorg/murex/lang"
    "github.com/lmorg/murex/utils/json"
)

func index(p *lang.Process, params []string) error {
    var jInterface interface{}

    b, err := p.Stdin.ReadAll()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    err = json.Unmarshal(b, &jInterface)
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }

    marshaller := func(iface interface{}) ([]byte, error) {
        return json.Marshal(iface, p.Stdout.IsTTY())
    }

    return lang.IndexTemplateObject(p, params, &jInterface, marshaller)
}
