NoSql Support
erotokritosVall opened this issue · comments
Are there any plans to support storing Amount in no-sql databases? (for example mongo)
If not do you have any tips on how to store that info? (mostly the number part concerns me)
MongoDB appears to have a decimal type you can use for the number part: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/model-monetary-data/#std-label-numeric-decimal
Happy to include a MongoDB example in https://github.com/bojanz/currency/wiki/Database-integration-notes if you can provide one.
You are right, but I was wondering if there is built-in support for it
I solved the problem by storing the number as int64
I know it is not entirely correct but it will suffice for my use case
Using an int64 is a fine workaround for most systems. Still, you should be able to do something like this when storing the amount:
d, err := primitive.ParseDecimal128(a.Number())
