Functions

func NonNil

func NonNil(ptr interface{})

NonNil takes a pointer to a Go data structure (currently only a slice or a map) and makes sure it's non-nil for JSON serialization. (In particular, JavaScript clients usually want the field to be defined after they decode the JSON.)

func Set

func Set[K comparable, V any, T ~map[K]V](m *T, k K, v V)

Set populates an entry in a map, making the map if necessary.

That is, it assigns (*m)[k] = v, making *m if it was nil.
