[struct] How to check for an empty struct?

You can use == to compare with a zero value composite literal because all fields are comparable:

if (Session{}) == session  {
    fmt.Println("is zero value")
}

playground example

Because of a parsing ambiguity, parentheses are required around the composite literal in the if condition.

The use of == above applies to structs where all fields are comparable. If the struct contains a non-comparable field (slice, map or function), then the fields must be compared one by one to their zero values.

An alternative to comparing the entire value is to compare a field that must be set to a non-zero value in a valid session. For example, if the player id must be != "" in a valid session, use

if session.playerId == "" {
    fmt.Println("is zero value")
}
