example code gives unmarshalling error about surrealdb.go

[lukasbowen]

I am running into the same issue following the example.

type User struct {
	ID   string `json:"id,omitempty"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}


user:= User{
    Name: "Test",
}

data, err := handler.db.Create("user", user)
if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
    return
}

// Unmarshal data
createdUser:= make([]User, 1)
err = surrealdb.Unmarshal(data, &createdUser)

Although from testing it the following will work. I am not sure if the document version using make([]User, 1) is attended or this updated example is the intended solution.

type User struct {
	ID   string `json:"id,omitempty"`
	Name string `json:"name"`
}


user:= User{
    Name: "Test",
}

data, err := handler.db.Create("user", user)
if err != nil {
    http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
    return
}

// Unmarshal data
createdUser:= User{}
err = surrealdb.Unmarshal(data, &createdUser)

Hi @lukasbowen and @thecodekitchen.
I'm sorry for your bad experience with the driver.
the problem you are facing is caused by RPC data response to change with beta 8 to 9.
The driver has been updated but there is no release at the moment.
You can use go get ithub.com/surrealdb/surrealdb.go@0316f40

If it is not working please let me know I can look into out.

also if docs are not enough you can look into
unit tests and tests the lib yourself.

@phughk I think we need to make a release.
for beta v9 fix.
