Structs of the Same Type

[tris203]

If you have two queries, that return the same struct of the same type is there way to coerce them into returning the same object? Or is the best way to use a go interface after the fact?

As you can see in this example, I have one function that returns

type GetUserTimeLineRow struct {
	Tweet            Tweet
	Likedbyself      interface{}
	Bookmarkedbyself interface{}
}

and one that returns

type GetTimeLineRow struct {
	Tweet            Tweet
	Likedbyself      interface{}
	Bookmarkedbyself interface{}
}

Is there a way to coerce them into one shape for passing on to a parseTimeLine() function without having to use interfaces to a do a bit of a type dance?
Or perhaps there is a better way to do it with my schema. I already have a trigger updating the counts so open to other ideas with views, triggers etc.

Thank you in advance

You won't be able to change the return type of the function, but as the struct fields in GetUserTimeLineRow and GetTimeLineRow are identical, you could simply convert either of the types to the other, e.g.

foo := GetUserTimeLineRow{}
bar := GetTimeLineRow(foo)
