[go] nil detection in Go

You can also check like struct_var == (struct{}). This does not allow you to compare to nil but it does check if it is initialized or not. Be careful while using this method. If your struct can have zero values for all of its fields you won't have great time.

package main

import "fmt"

type A struct {
    Name string
}

func main() {
    a := A{"Hello"}
    var b A

    if a == (A{}) {
        fmt.Println("A is empty") // Does not print
    } 

    if b == (A{}) {
        fmt.Println("B is empty") // Prints
    } 
}
