Route parameter converter about goyave

[MShoaei]

How exactly do you intend to send a struct in URI? Would you please send and example input?

Let's say we have a Product struct model. The idea behind this would be to declare a route like this:

router.Get("/product/{Product}", product.Show, nil)

A request to show the Product with the ID (primary key) "4" would be:

GET /product/4

The framework would do something like this:

product := model.Product{}
database.GetConnection().First(&product, request.Params["Product"])

// Override the raw parameter with the struct
request.Params["Product"] = product

This is just a draft, and that would require the request.Params map to be changed to a map[string]interface{}, which is not ideal, but hopefully you get the idea.

The motivation behind this is that retrieving data from the database is not part of the business logic so it shouldn't be done inside the controller handler. Also, this would reduce redundancy because you currently have to write this kind of code in almost every controller handler.

I prefer to ditch this idea. It is already easy enough to retrieve the model.
