Initialize nested struct definition

Question

How do you initialize the following struct?

type Sender struct {
    BankCode string
    Name     string
    Contact  struct {
        Name    string
                


        

Answer 1

How about defining the two structs separately and then embedding "Contact" in "Sender"?

type Sender struct {
    BankCode string
    Name     string
    Contact
}

type Contact struct {
    Name  string
    Phone string
}

if you do it this way, your second initialization attempt would work. Additionally, you could use "Contact" on its own.

If you really want to use the nested struct, you can use Ainar-G's answer, but this version isn't pretty (and it gets even uglier if the structs are deeply nested, as shown here), so I wouldn't do that if it can be avoided.
