Inserting data into MongoDB with mgo

I'm trying to insert some data in MongoDB using Go.

Here is the data struct:

type Entry struct {
    Id          string `json:"id",bson:"_id,omitempty"`
    ResourceId  int    `json:"resource_id,bson:"resource_id"`
    Word        string `json:"word",bson:"word"`
    Meaning     string `json:"meaning",bson:"meaning"`
    Example     string `json:"example",bson:"example"`
}

This is my insert function:

func insertEntry(db *mgo.Session, entry *Entry) error {
    c := db.DB(*mongoDB).C("entries")
    count, err := c.Find(bson.M{"resourceid": entry.ResourceId}).Limit(1).Count()
    if err != nil {
        return err
    }
    if count > 0 {
        return fmt.Errorf("resource %s already exists", entry.ResourceId)
    }
    return c.Insert(entry)
}

And finally, this is how I call it:

entry := &Entry{
    ResourceId:  resourceId,
    Word:        word,
    Meaning:     meaning,
    Example:     example,
}
err = insertEntry(db, entry)
if err != nil {
    log.Println("Could not save the entry to MongoDB:", err)
}

The trouble is, I was expecting my bson tags to magically work, but they don't.
Instead of data being saved as:

> { "_id" : ObjectId("53700d9cd83e146623e6bfb4"), "resource_id" :
> 7660708, "word" : "Foo" ...}

It gets saved as:

> { "_id" : ObjectId("53700d9cd83e146623e6bfb4"), "id" : "",
> "resourceid" : 7660708, "word" : "Foo"...}

How can I fix this?

Change entry to:

type Entry struct {
    Id          string `json:"id" bson:"_id,omitempty"`
    ResourceId  int    `json:"resource_id" bson:"resource_id"`
    Word        string `json:"word" bson:"word"`
    Meaning     string `json:"meaning" bson:"meaning"`
    Example     string `json:"example" bson:"example"`
}

The syntax for Struct Tags does not use commas between tags. I believe this should fix it.

type Entry struct {
    Id          bson.ObjectId `bson:"_id,omitempty" json:"id"`
    ResourceId  int           `json:"resource_id" bson:"resource_id"`
    Word        string        `json:"word"`
    Meaning     string        `json:"meaning"`
    Example     string        `json:"example"`
}

Instead of Count() and Insert() you can use UpsertId which does just that, if an Id exists the record is replaced if not it's inserted.

Insert() with an empty ObjectId lets MongoDB handle Id assignment.

Edit:
Misread your Count query.
You also have an error in there.
It should be "resource_id" not "resourceid" because you declared that the bson field is named "resource_id"

Update your Entry struct as:

type Entry struct {
    Id          string `bson:"_id"`
    ResourceId  int    `json:"resource_id,omitempty"`
    Word        string `json:"word,omitempty"`
    Meaning     string `json:"meaning,omitempty"`
    Example     string `json:"example,omitempty"`
}

This should work!
