strings slice causes goroutine to panic about gorm HOT 5 CLOSED

@jinzhu, would you be willing to show an example of how to make something like the above example work? I'm working on creating an API, and it would be much more succinct to have something like:

{
    "name" : "Test",
    "products" : [ "product1", "product2" ]
}

As opposed to the current way of doing it:

{
    "name" : "Test",
    "products" : [
          {  "value" : "product1"  },
          {  "value" : "product2"  }
}

Any help would be appreciated!

hi gorm doesn't support []string because database dialect that you are using don't know how to store it to database.

So maybe you need to write a Scanner for slice.

I meet this issue too.

Yea, I'm running into this issue as well, and I have seen a bunch of old issues about this as well.
@jinzhu you've mentioned writing a Scanner or a Valuer for this situation. Do you mind expounding on what you are referring to? Maybe a link to an example.

Ok, I've found the interface definition here: https://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#Scanner. Hopefully this will do the trick.
