How to Add a Slice Array inside of a Struct - go

Question

I'm looking to add an array for a string variable inside of a struct I have created in Go.
type Recipes struct { //Struct for recipe information
name string
prepTime int
cookTime int
recipeIngredient string
recipeID int
recipeYield int
}
It is called by
Recipe1.name = "BBQ Pulled Chicken"
Recipe1.prepTime = 25
Recipe1.cookTime = 5
Recipe1.recipeIngredient = "1 8-ounce can reduced-sodium tomato sauce, two"
Recipe1.recipeID = 1
Recipe1.recipeYield = 8
recipeIngredient will have multiple ingredients so it just can't be one string. I would like to have multiple array/slice elements inside recipeIngredient. Anyone have an idea on how i would be able to do this please?

Answer 1

Use a slice of string. For example,
package main
import "fmt"
type Recipe struct {
Name string
PrepTime int
CookTime int
Ingredients []string
ID int
Yield int
}
func main() {
var recipe Recipe
recipe.Name = "BBQ Pulled Chicken"
recipe.PrepTime = 25
recipe.CookTime = 5
recipe.Ingredients = append(recipe.Ingredients,
"1 8-ounce can reduced-sodium tomato sauce",
)
recipe.Ingredients = append(recipe.Ingredients,
"1/2 medium onion, grated ",
)
recipe.ID = 1
recipe.Yield = 8
fmt.Println(recipe)
fmt.Printf("Ingredients: %q\n", recipe.Ingredients)
}
Output:
{BBQ Pulled Chicken 25 5 [1 8-ounce can reduced-sodium tomato sauce 1/2 medium onion, grated ] 1 8}
Ingredients: ["1 8-ounce can reduced-sodium tomato sauce" "1/2 medium onion, grated "]
