Hi there,
I'm very new to Golang, and quite honestly haven't coded in a long time so
bear with me if this is an very basic question.
I'm trying to build a basic backup program, which will take a path (string)
and then calculate the total "backup size" of the entire backup (and all
the child folders, etc).
I found out by starting to write the basics of the program that
ioutil.ReadDir does not recursively go deeper into child folders so the
code I will show you is only calculating the size for any files in the root
only.
I already have an idea on how to fix it but I have a much deeper question:
would using nested structs be a good idea?
I'm basically defining the program like so:
type Backup struct {
Files
Directories
byteSize int64
humanSize string
}
type Directories struct {
name string
containsBytes float64
constainsFiles int64
}
type Files struct {
parent Directories
name string
byteSize int64
humanSize string
}
Do I need to make "Directories" and "Files" be a slice / map or something
for my purposes? I am a little confused here and I don't know how I could
make my struct (which holds multiple values) be an array/slice, how would
that work?
What if I wanted to "search" for a file or folder later on my program?
My code that works for top-level folder
calculation:

Thanks!
