Only your use case, domain and the design can tell which approach is preferable. But you can:
1 - Use chaining methods:
func main() {
c := new(Contact)
c = c.SetEmail("...").SetFirstName("...").SetLastName("...")
}
type Contact struct {
Title string
FirstName string
LastName string
HomePhone string
WorkPhone string
Mobile string
Address *Address
Email string
}
func (c *Contact) SetTitle(v string) *Contact { c.Title = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetFirstName(v string) *Contact { c.FirstName = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetLastName(v string) *Contact { c.LastName = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetHomePhone(v string) *Contact { c.HomePhone = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetWorkPhone(v string) *Contact { c.WorkPhone = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetMobile(v string) *Contact { c.Mobile = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetAddress(v *Address) *Contact { c.Address = v; return c }
func (c *Contact) SetEmail(v string) *Contact { c.Email = v; return c }
2 - Use functional options:
func main() {
c := NewContact(FirstName("..."), LastName("..."))
_ = c
}
type Contact struct {
Title string
FirstName string
LastName string
HomePhone string
WorkPhone string
Mobile string
Address *Address
Email string
}
func NewContact(options ...ContactOption) *Contact {
c := new(Contact)
for _, opt := range options {
opt(c)
}
return c
}
type ContactOption func(*Contact)
func Title(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.Title = v } }
func FirstName(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.FirstName = v } }
func LastName(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.LastName = v } }
func HomePhone(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.HomePhone = v } }
func WorkPhone(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.WorkPhone = v } }
func Mobile(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.Mobile = v } }
func SetAddress(v *Address) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.Address = v } }
func Email(v string) ContactOption { return func(c *Contact) { c.Email = v } }
