Trouble unmarshaling YAML structure
I have what I think is a very straightforward YAML structure I'm attempting to write to and read from a file.
appName:
version: 1.2.3.4
md5_checksum: 987654321
And I'm really struggling to understand nested structs and how they relate to yaml marshaling.
At this point I have the following:
type Application struct {
Name string `yaml:"application"`
Version string `yaml:"version"`
Checksum int `yaml:"md5_checksum"`
}
yamlData := Application{"MyProgram", "1.2.3.4", 34235234123}
y, err := yaml.Marshal(yamlData)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("Yaml marshal failed")
}
err = ioutil.WriteFile("applications.yaml", y, 0644)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal("File write failed")
}
This gets me close, but the file reads as follows:
application: MyProgram
version: 1.2.3.4
md5_checksum: 34235234123
That looks nice, but this file will be populated by many applications. I've tried a few types of nested structs, but I get hung up on how to supply values to them when finally building them.

You can define Application struct as
type AppVersion struct {
Version string `yaml:"version"`
Checksum int `yaml:"md5_checksum"`
}
type Application struct {
Name AppVersion `yaml:"appName"`
}
Then call AppVersion as
yamlData := Application{Name: AppVersion{Version: "1.2.3.4", Checksum: 34235234123}}

KibGzr, thank you for the succinct answer. My issue now is: how to I include the application name. What I end up with this implemtation is a static "appName"(literal) with nested version and checksum values. My main experience with YAML comes from Ansible, and I'm looking for something similar to the second code block shown here: docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/…

I've solved my own problem with help from KibGzr.
No structs necessary just for the marshaling steps.
yamlData := map[string]map[string]string{
appName: map[string]string{"version": appVersion, "md5_checksum": checksumString},
}
I've created a nested map rather than a struct. This allows me just initialize the map when I've collected all my values rather than trying to work around struct field names. My output is now:
appName:
md5_checksum: checksumString
version: appVersion
Thanks for all the help!
