ButterCMS Go API Wrapper

This wrapper is meant to enable Go developers to quickly and easily get up and running with ButterCMS. It is based of off the API documentation.

...
ButterCMS.SetPreviewMode(true)

Example Usage

package main

import (
	"github.com/buttercms/buttercms-go"
	"fmt"
	"encoding/json"
)

func main() {
	ButterCMS.SetAuthToken("<auth_token>")

	params := map[string]string{"include": "recent_posts"}
	authorResp, err := ButterCMS.GetAuthors(params)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}

	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", authorResp)

	params = map[string]string{"author_slug": "author-slug"}
	postResp, err := ButterCMS.GetPosts(params)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}

	fmt.Printf("%+v\n", postResp)

	pagesResp, err := ButterCMS.GetPages("news", nil)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}

	fmt.Printf("%d Results\n", pagesResp.MetaData.Count)
	for index, page := range pagesResp.PageList {
		fmt.Printf("Result %d: %s\n", index, page.Slug)

		if (len(page.Fields) > 0) {
			fmt.Println("Custom fields:")
			for fieldName, fieldValue := range page.Fields {
				switch value := fieldValue.(type) {
					case string:
						fmt.Printf("Field '%1s' has value '%2s'\n", fieldName, value)
					default:
						fmt.Println("Other type\n")
				}
			}
		}
	}

	contentParams := map[string]string{}
	contentKeys := []string{"somethings"}
	contentResp, err := ButterCMS.GetContentFields(contentKeys, contentParams)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err.Error())
	}

	j, err := json.Marshal(contentResp)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(string(j))
