Assign an array to struct fields in go

Question

I have a struct with 8 fields of bool, and an array with 8 boolean values.

How can I assign each array value to corresponding field in struct?

I knew I can use s.f = a[n], but what if there are more fields?

You may use the reflect package to set exported fields:

var y = []bool{true, false, true}
var x struct{ X, Y, Z bool }
v := reflect.ValueOf(&x).Elem()
for i := 0; i < v.NumField(); i++ {
    v.Field(i).SetBool(y[i])
}
fmt.Println(x) // prints {true, false, true}
