更新字段，如果值是nil，0，在struct golang中为false？

Question

我有一个结构：

type User struct {
   ID       int    `json:"id"`
   Username string `json:"username"`
   About    string `json:"about"`
   IsAdmin  bool   `json:"is_admin"`
   Status   int    `json:"status"`
   ......
}
A:= User{1,"admin", "I am a admin",status: 1,....}
B:= User{ID:1, Username: "UserBBBB"}
...enter code here...
B is {1, "UserBBBB", "I am a admin", 1, ...(same value in A)}

对象B具有一些属性，分别为nil（字符串），false（布尔），0（整数），…。我想检查B的字段是否为未分配值，该字段将接收A中相同字段的值，

例：

B的关于字段为零；

A的“关于”字段是“我是管理员”。B的“关于”字段是“我是管理员”。

我可以写代码：

if len(B.About) == 0 {
  B.About = A.About

与其他字段类似，我不想逐步检查所有字段。
