Unmarshal of object/struct attributes fails #74
Description
Hello,
I am trying to unmarshal a JSON API response which contains attributes that are objects. I tried marshaling and the result JSON is correct but when I try to unmarshal that same JSON it fails with data is not a jsonapi representation of '*main.Profile'. Here is some example code:
package main
import (
"bytes"
"fmt"
"log"
"github.com/google/jsonapi"
)
func main() {
p := &Profile{ID: "1", Avatar: &Avatar{Large: "url1", Small: "url2"}}
buf := &bytes.Buffer{}
if err := jsonapi.MarshalOnePayload(buf, p); err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
p = &Profile{}
fmt.Println(string(buf.Bytes()))
err := jsonapi.UnmarshalPayload(buf, p)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
fmt.Printf("ID: %v, Avatar:%v\n", p.ID, p.Avatar)
}
type Profile struct {
ID string `json:"id" jsonapi:"primary,profiles"`
Avatar *Avatar `json:"avatar" jsonapi:"attr,avatar"`
}
type Avatar struct {
Large string `json:"large"`
Small string `json:"small"`
}I also tried annotating with attr like
type Avatar struct {
Large string `json:"large" jsonapi:"attr,large,omitempty"`
Small string `json:"small" jsonapi:"attr,small,omitempty"`
}but no luck.

We have been actively working on this feature in the branch https://github.com/google/jsonapi/tree/feature/embeded-structs

Is work on this still progressing? My case is similar but here is my code:
type Profile struct {
ID string
json:"id" jsonapi:"primary,profiles"AvatarList []Avatar
json:"avatar" jsonapi:"attr,avatar"}
type Avatar struct {
Large string
json:"large"Small string
json:"small"}
I tried this with the current embeded-structs branch and it didn't work. Any status on this would be appreciated. The marshal function returned what I expected but the unmarshal returned an error ("data is not a jsonapi representation of '*jsonapi.Profile").

same issue here. Can't unmarshal the json to the struct with attributes that a objects.... Can't even find any workaround.

any update on this issue?
It seems we can't use arrays of simple types inside attributes either: https://go.dev/play/p/3qufy0gFk3u
