Initialize embedded struct in Go

Question

I have the following struct which contains a net/http.Request:

type MyRequest struct {
    http.Request
    PathParams map[string]strin         


        

Answer 1

What about:

func New(origRequest *http.Request, pathParams map[string]string) *MyRequest {
        return &MyRequest{*origRequest, pathParams}
}

It shows that instead of

New(foo, bar)

you might prefer just

&MyRequest{*foo, bar}

directly.
