go-pg "belongs to" 2 fields to same table

Question

I am using https://github.com/go-pg/pg to handle this stuff, having huge issues making a basic belongs to relation.

So basically i have one table that has columns receipient_id and sender_id, both point to the same users table. This is my code and result:

type Transaction struct {
    Id              int
    Receipient      *User  `json:"receipient_id" sql:"-" validate:"required"`
    Sender          *User  `json:"sender_id" sql:"-" validate:"required"`
    TransactionType int    `json:"transaction_type" validate:"required"`
    Status          int    `json:"status" validate:"required"`
    Ammount         int    `json:"ammount" validate:"required"`
    CreatedAt       string `json:"created_at" validate:"required"`
}



err = database.DBCon.Model(&transactions).Select()
if err != nil {
    return transactions, err
}



16:51:15.754 V1TransactionListPOST ▶ ERRO 006 supppers [Transaction<id:1 receipient:<nil> sender:<nil> transaction_type:0 status:1 ammount:100 created_at:1533650239

And this is the actual db:

Answer 1

I forgot to add Id columns, here's a working example:

type Transaction struct {
    Id              int
    RecipientId     int    `json:"recipient_id"`
    Recipient       *User  `pg:"fk:recipient_id"`
    SenderId        int    `json:"sender_id"`
    Sender          *User  `pg:"fk:sender_id"`
    TransactionType int    `json:"transaction_type" validate:"required"`
    Status          int    `json:"status" validate:"required"`
    Ammount         int    `json:"ammount" validate:"required"`
    CreatedAt       string `json:"created_at" validate:"required"`
}
