Well, 3 months ago I took a deep learning dive in golang.
I’ve written a few simple programs, just to feel the language and I liked it.
Unfortunately I had to take a break, but I’m back now…
I already have a lot of code snippets working, so my problem is not the code itself, but is how to structure it.
I think I’m too much in the OO world and I’m not seeing a good way to do it.
So I would like some advice on how you guys, may structure this program.
The basic idea is:
Input: A PDF file in text format
Process: Extract some patterns of that document
Output: Some JSON with the values.
I don’t have any problem with that!
The main problem is: I may have a lot of “kinds/styles” of documents.
So let’s say I have: CompanyA, CompanyB, CompanyC.
Each company has his own text format, so I will need to create specific code for each of them.
I thought: maybe I can just split each company in a package? But It already seems wrong to me…
Besides that, I have another problem.
Each company have different categories of documents, lets say: cars, houses, boats.
Still, it have a status for the document like: new, renew, cancel, etc…
So, my whole idea on structuring this different pieces of code in a package for each company doesn’t seems a good idea anymore.
Summing up: Each document needs to be identified and processed by three characteristics.
Company -> Category -> Status
Is creating a package for each category the best way?
Any brilliant idea on how to struct this in a more “go idiomatic way”?
Thanks.
PS: English is not my native language, so, bear with me
If you guys need more details, just let me know.
