布尔值设置为true会无意更改为false

Question

In my golang application, I'm setting some global variables to true based on form input, and then discovering that they have changed to false when used in a subsequent function. Question, what is the proper way to declare and set Boolean values in golang?

var withKetchup bool
var withMustard bool

func orderProcess(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){

     r.ParseForm()
     withKetchup := r.FormValue("withKetchup")  //set to true (in form js form selection)
     withMustard := r.FormValue("withMustard")  //set to true

      code omitted ///
}

func prepareOrder(){

      code omitted//
     fmt.Println(withKetchup, withMustard) //both are false even though initially set to true
     if withKetchup == true && withMustard == true{

     }else {

     }


}

Answer 1

The code

 withKetchup := r.FormValue("withKetchup") 

declares and sets a local variable of type string using a short variable declaration. To set the global bool variable, convert the statement to an assignment by removing the ":". Also, compute a bool value by comparing the form value with "":

 withKetchup = r.FormValue("withKetchup") == "true"

Because the server executes handlers concurrently, it's not safe to use a global variable like this. I suggest passing the values as arguments to prepareOrder:

func orderProcess(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request){

     r.ParseForm()
     withKetchup := r.FormValue("withKetchup") == "true"
     withMustard := r.FormValue("withMustard") == "true"
     prepareOrder(withKetchup, withMustard)
}

func prepareOrder(withKetchup, withMustard bool){
     if withKetchup == true && withMustard == true{

     }else {

     }
}
