There are no constructors in Go, but there are New() functions that act like factories initializing an object. You simply have to create a function named New() that returns your data type. Here is an example:
package mainimport "fmt"type Person struct { Name string}func NewPerson() Person { return Person{ Name: "Anonymous", }}func main() { p := NewPerson() fmt.Println(p)}
There are no deconstructors in Go, since everything is garbage collected and you do not manually destroy objects. Defer is the closest you can get by deferring a function call to perform some cleanup when the current function ends.
