How to get all GET request request parameters into a structure in Go?

Question

Hi, I want to convert request parameters to a structure in Go, for example, I have this structure:

type Filter struct {
    Offset int64  `json:"offset"`
    Limit  int64  `json:"limit"`
    SortBy string `json:"sortby"`
    Asc    bool   `json:"asc"`

    //User specific filters
    Username   string `json:"username"`
    First_Name string `json:"first_name"`
    Last_Name  string `json:"last_name"`
    Status     string `json:"status"`
}

And I have more options that the user can specify when you send a request for that are Offset, Limit, SortBy, Asc, Username, First_Name, Last_Name, Status.

If these parameters were sent to the body, I would do the following:

b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(r.Body)
if err != nil {

    log.WithFields(logFields).Errorf("Reading Body Message:failed:%v", err)

    return
}

var filter Filter
err = json.Unmarshal(b, &filter)

But I can not send the body to the request GET, so what is the solution instead of getting each parameter separately and then putting them in a structure?

import "github.com/gorilla/schema"

type Filter struct {
    Offset int64  `schema:"offset"`
    Limit  int64  `schema:"limit"`
    SortBy string `schema:"sortby"`
    Asc    bool   `schema:"asc"`

    //User specific filters
    Username   string `schema:"username"`
    First_Name string `schema:"first_name"`
    Last_Name  string `schema:"last_name"`
    Status     string `schema:"status"`
}

func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if err := r.ParseForm(); err != nil {
        // Handle error
    }

    filter := new(Filter)
    if err := schema.NewDecoder().Decode(filter, r.Form); err != nil {
        // Handle error

    // Do something with filter
    fmt.Printf("%+v", filter)
}

Request.Form - map, string []string ( URL:

url.Values:

type Values map[string][]string

, , Filter :

type Filter struct {
    Offset []string `json:"offset"`

}

json r.Form, :

func MyHandler(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    if err := r.ParseForm(); err != nil {
        // Handle error
    }
    data, err := json.Marshal(r.Form)
    if err != nil {
        // Handle error
    }
    filter := new(Fiter)
    if err = json.Unmarshal(data, filter); err != nil {
        // Handle error
    }
    fmt.Printf("%+v", filter)
}

, . , , "" r.Form map string []string.

:

type Filter struct {
    Offset string `json:"offset"`
    Limit  string `json:"limit"`
    SortBy string `json:"sortby"`
    // ..other fields
}

// Transformation from map[string][]string to map[string]string:

for k, v := range r.Form {
    m[k] = v[0]
}
