sql: expected 8 arguments, got 0 using `preparex` and `context.context`

My question is not related to that one. My question was mostly on preparex and ctx. I have already done with the implementation using the db.NamedExec and my code is working for those. What I am trying to do here is to understand context.context and preparex. Implement using these two.

CODE SNIPPET:

model.go

type User struct {
	ID        int	    `db:"id" json:"id"`
	CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at" json:"created_at"`
	UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at" json:"updated_at"`
	DeletedAt time.Time `db:"deleted_at" json:"deleted_at"`
	Username  string	`db:"username" json:"username"`
	Password  string	`db:"password" json:"password"`
	FirstName string	`db:"first_name" json:"first_name"`
	LastName  string	`db:"last_name" json:"last_name"`
	Phone     string	`db:"phone" json:"phone"`
	Status bool			`db:"status" json:"status"`
	Addrs  []UserAddress
}

Query:

queryInsertUserData = `
    INSERT INTO users (id, created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, username, password, first_name, last_name, phone, status) VALUES($1, now(), now(), $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8)
`

type queries struct {
	insertUserData, 
	insertAddrData *sqlx.Stmt
}

//prepareStatement is a method for preparing sqlx statement
func (queries *queries) prepareStatement(db *sqlx.DB, query string) (*sqlx.Stmt, error) {
	stmt, err := db.Preparex(query) //https://go.dev/doc/database/prepared-statements
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}

	return stmt, err
}

constructUserData, err := queries.prepareStatement(db, queryInsertUserData)
queries.insertUserData = constructUserData

Implementation:

// Insert User data
func (postgres *Postgres) InsertUserData(ctx context.Context) (*entity.User, error) {
	c := entity.User{}

	err := postgres.queries.insertUserData.SelectContext(ctx, &c) //<---here
	if err != nil {
		return nil, err
	}
	return &c, nil
}

my ctx is :

ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "ID", 1)
ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "Username", "John")
ctx = context.WithValue(ctx, "Password", "pass")

when I am passing to postgres.queries.insertUserData.SelectContext(ctx, &c)

I am getting: sql: expected 8 arguments, got 0

why it is saying got 0? Can anyone help me with this? How to pass ctx and provide the insert query values?

I didn't get the structure of your code, but from the main context (inserting query) you should do something like this:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"database/sql"
	"log"
)

var db *sql.DB
type User struct {
    ID        int       `db:"id" json:"id"`
    CreatedAt time.Time `db:"created_at" json:"created_at"`
    UpdatedAt time.Time `db:"updated_at" json:"updated_at"`
    DeletedAt time.Time `db:"deleted_at" json:"deleted_at"`
    Username  string    `db:"username" json:"username"`
    Password  string    `db:"password" json:"password"`
    FirstName string    `db:"first_name" json:"first_name"`
    LastName  string    `db:"last_name" json:"last_name"`
    Phone     string    `db:"phone" json:"phone"`
    Status bool         `db:"status" json:"status"`
    Addrs  []UserAddress
}
func main() {
	users := []User {
		{...User 1 data...},
		{...User 2 data...},
	}

	stmt, err := db.Prepare("INSERT INTO users (id, created_at, updated_at, deleted_at, username, password, first_name, last_name, phone, status) VALUES($1, now(), now(), $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8)")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	defer stmt.Close() // Prepared statements take up server resources and should be closed after use.

	for id, user := range users {
		if _, err := stmt.Exec(id+1, user.Username, user.Password,... other data); err != nil {
			log.Fatal(err)
		}
	}
}

also, you can use the Gorm powerful package for using all relational databases.

I use this helper for inserts.

Works with query syntax as follows:

INSERT INTO checks (
	status) VALUES (:status)
	returning id;

Sample struct

	type Row struct {
		Status string `db:"status"`
	}

// Insert inserts row into table using query SQL command
// table used only for loging, actual table name defined in query
// function expects Query with named parameters
func Insert(ctx context.Context, row interface{}, query string, table string, tx *sqlx.Tx) (int64, error) {
	// convert named query to native parameters format
	query, args, err := tx.BindNamed(query, row)
	if err != nil {
		return 0, fmt.Errorf("cannot bind parameters for insert into %q: %w", table, err)
	}

	var id struct {
		Val int64 `db:"id"`
	}

	err = sqlx.GetContext(ctx, tx, &id, query, args...)
	if err != nil {
		return 0, fmt.Errorf("cannot insert into %q: %w", table, err)
	}

	return id.Val, nil
}
