How to get the exact amount due instead of the integer amount for a Stripe Invoice, using the Go API?

Question

Using the Stripe Go library, when listing the invoices for a particular customer, the amount due for that invoice is $1000 when it should be $10.00 (which is seen in the Stripe dashboard).

I'm assuming it's because the AmountDue field in the Invoice struct is an int64 (https://github.com/stripe/stripe-go/blob/master/invoice.go#L204), and it's losing the decimal component during a cast, but is there a way to get the exact amount?

This is how I'm querying the invoices:

  params := &stripe.InvoiceListParams{}
  params.Filters.AddFilter("limit", "", "100")
  params.Filters.AddFilter("customer", "", stripeCustomerId)
  i := invoice.List(params)
  for i.Next() {
    i := i.Invoice()

    invoice := BillingModels.Transaction{
      Id:         i.ID,
      Amount:     i.AmountDue,
    }   

    invoices = append(invoices, invoice)
  }

I think [this](https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/object#charge_object-amount) will help you. — Parham Alvani, Jul 01 '19 at 00:12
It is the exact amount, and it's in that format *so that* it will be exact. — hobbs, Jul 01 '19 at 00:13

The AmountDue field is in cents, as are all the Stripe fields, so they should be stored as an integer. This is quite common when dealing with money. Never use floats for currency.
