@nguyenthenguyen sorry, I misled you.
After some research I found working one

type Person struct {
    ID        bson.ObjectId `bson:"_id,omitempty"`
    Name      string
    Phone     string
    Timestamp time.Time
}
//....
id = bson.NewObjectId()
c.Insert(&Person{ID: id, Name: "Ale", Phone: "+55 53 1234 4321", Timestamp: time.Now()})

You get correct mongo id in id

Can you post example of update by ID ?

@PRSolucoes

err := c.UpdateId(id, bson.M{"$set": bson.M{"name": "updated name"}})

how do you know if its empty, i take it the this

if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

doesn't necessarily mean that it is empty, does it?

nevermind, i would just do a Count()

Thanks for these examples, they've been incredibly useful. Does anyone have any examples on insert subdocuments? Say if I had

type Article struct {
    Title string `form"title" json:"title"`
    Categories []*Category
}

How would I go about finding an article, and adding a category?

Thanks!

Hi guys,
If i have probably 4 server of mongodb. 1 server active(main), and the others server are slave which the active(main) server somehow can switch as slave, and slave can switch as active(main) automatic . how i develop the code to get only the active(main) server only? active(main) server means you can do add, remove, find process in that server only. Thanks before.

@suwarnold, look at mgo.DialInfo{} and mgo.DialWithInfo()

Thank You for the post!

for some reason, c.Insert() insert nothing and no error is returned :S

Hi All
change := bson.M{"$set": bson.M{"phone": "+86 99 8888 7777", "timestamp": time.Now()}}
I didn't get this part -- $set. What type is it? Or what are the other options in this?
I found this in docs --

change := mgo.Change{
        Update: bson.M{"$inc": bson.M{"n": 1}},
        ReturnNew: true,
}
info, err = col.Find(M{"_id": id}).Apply(change, &doc)
fmt.Println(doc.N)

I suppose inc stands for increment. But am not clear about the data type here(Interface?). Anyways again I suppose this is a fixed thing? But then that would contradict the next usage of bson.M...
Thanks in advance.

My Observation about UpdateAll() is, by default it upserts the record..
that means, if "phone" field from the change is not present in record, it will insert the field

change:= bson.M{"$set":bson.M{"phone": "+86 99 8888 7777", "timestamp": time.Now()}}

Is there a way to override the default upsert behaviour of UpdateAll() call ?

You can also do

if err := c.Update(colQuerier, change); err != nil {
  // panic(err) <-- one way, or:
  w.WriteHeader(404)
  return
}

Hi All,
I am trying to access the record but its returning me empty record
code:
result := Person{}

	err = c.Find(bson.M{"first_name": "ABC"}).Select(bson.M{"userEmail": 1}).One(&result)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("Email", result)

output :
Email { }

please help.

Thanks for posting... learnt a lot..

Please is there a way to chain queries??? like where firstname is "anything" and lastname is "anything as well"

Thanks

Thanks a lot

thanks

how to connect mongodb+srv ?

Hi guys,
If i have probably 4 server of mongodb. 1 server active(main), and the others server are slave which the active(main) server somehow can switch as slave, and slave can switch as active(main) automatic . how i develop the code to get only the active(main) server only? active(main) server means you can do add, remove, find process in that server only. Thanks before.

Checkout this : https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/method/db.currentOp/

it would be so nice if we could pass a golang struct in the find method (the same struct which we inserted).

thanks for this
