pos := monster.Pos(nil)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In some cases it's necessary to modify values in an existing FlatBuffer in place (without creating a copy). For this reason, scalar fields of a Flatbuffer table or struct can be mutated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~{.go}
monster := example.GetRootAsMonster(buf, 0)
// Set table field.
if ok := monster.MutateHp(10); !ok {
panic("failed to mutate Hp")
}
// Set struct field.
monster.Pos().MutateZ(4)
// This mutation will fail because the mana field is not available in
// the buffer. It should be set when creating the buffer.
if ok := monster.MutateMana(20); !ok {
panic("failed to mutate Hp")
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The term `mutate` is used instead of `set` to indicate that this is a special use case. All mutate functions return a boolean value which is false if the field we're trying to mutate is not available in the buffer.
