How can I directly access embedded struct fields in golang?

Consider:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

type Endpoint struct {
    NeedsAuthentication bool
    Uri                 string
}
type RefreshEndpoint struct {
    Endpoint
    Payload RefreshPayload
}
type RefreshPayload struct {
    RefreshToken string
}

func main() {
    refreshEndpoint := RefreshEndpoint{Endpoint: Endpoint{NeedsAuthentication: true, Uri: "/foo"}, Payload: RefreshPayload{RefreshToken: "xxx"}}
    fmt.Printf("The uri is: %s, the access token is: %s", refreshEndpoint.Endpoint.Uri, refreshEndpoint.Payload.RefreshToken)
}

How can I compose these structs such that I don’t have to access Uri with refreshEndpoint.Endpoint.Uri? Is there a way to access Uri like refreshEndpoints.Uri without creating a method that hides the "extra" Endpoint namespace?

>Solution :

Endpoint is already embedded, so you can access Uri already:

   fmt.Printf("The uri is: %s, the access token is: %s", refreshEndpoint.Uri, refreshEndpoint.Payload.RefreshToken)

You still need to use the full namespace when you declare a literal:

refreshEndpoint := RefreshEndpoint{Endpoint: Endpoint{NeedsAuthentication: true, Uri: "/foo"}, Payload: RefreshPayload{RefreshToken: "xxx"}}

However, you can do:

refreshEndpoint := RefreshEndpoint{Payload: RefreshPayload{RefreshToken: "xxx"}}
refreshEndpoint.Uri="/foo"
refreshEndpoint.NeedsAuthentication=true
