When initializing structs with field names, omit fields that have zero values unless they provide meaningful context. Otherwise, let Go set these to zero values automatically.
| Bad | Good |
|---|---|
user := User{
FirstName: "John",
LastName: "Doe",
MiddleName: "",
Admin: false,
} |
user := User{
FirstName: "John",
LastName: "Doe",
} |
This helps reduce noise for readers by omitting values that are default in that context. Only meaningful values are specified.
Include zero values where field names provide meaningful context. For example, test cases in Test Tables can benefit from names of fields even when they are zero-valued.
tests := []struct{
give string
want int
}{
{give: "0", want: 0},
// ...
}
