5/20 TIL: Go Social Media Login

For the social media login:

• Create a req variable by passing in the login API url to the http.NewRequest()

var req = http.NewRequest("GET", {url}, nil)

• Add the Bearer {accessToken} to the Authorization header

req.Headers.Add(("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken)

• Pass that req variable into the Client.Do() and store the response in the response variable

var res = Client.Do(req)

• Create a struct with an ID field to store the value returned from the response

type socialResponse struct {
    ID int `json:"id"`
}

• json.NewDecoder(response.Body).Decode(&socialResponse) to pass the json data into our struct
