Dict arrays

[mgurevin]

Is there a method for adding zerolog.Dict objects to inside zerolog.Array?

I want to log things like following structure:

{
	"foo": [
		{"foo": "bar", "baz": 42},
		{"foo": "bar", "baz": 42}
	],
	"bar": [
		{"foo": "bar", "baz": 42},
		{"foo": "bar", "baz": 42}
	]
}

I was thinking to make this like that:

zerolog.  
	Dict("foo", zerolog.Arr().
		Dict(zerolog.Dict().Str("foo", "bar").Int("baz", 42)).
		Dict(zerolog.Dict().Str("foo", "bar").Int("baz", 42))).
	Dict("bar", zerolog.Arr().
		Dict(zerolog.Dict().Str("foo", "bar").Int("baz", 42)).
		Dict(zerolog.Dict().Str("foo", "bar").Int("baz", 42)))

But I can't see Dict method in the zerolog.Array struct.

Thanks.

You can use Interface for this.

Of course, but it comes a little bit reflection cost. I think array supports like DICT is better than JSON marshaling.

You're right. I just don't have the need for such complex structure, so I can't promise I'll add it. If you want to give it a try, I'm all for it.

I faced the same situation right now and had completely forgotten this message, and Google brought me up here again two years later :)

Is anybody else asked?

[rs]

Not that I know of :)

oh, maybe I'll send a PR next time I come back :)

I'm needing this so I will open a PR for consideration.
