Go: constructors (how to)

Constructor.go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	foo := newMyStruct()
	foo.myMap["bar"] = "baz"
	
	fmt.Println(foo)
}



type myStruct struct {
	myMap map[string]string
}

// Create a constructor function that allows us to initialize values (such as map)
func newMyStruct() *myStruct {
	result := myStruct{}
	
	result.myMap = map[string]string{}
	
	return &result
}
