http/jsonapi/request.go:353–365

assign will take the value specified and assign it to the field; if field is expecting a ptr assign will assign a ptr.

(field, value reflect.Value)

// assign will take the value specified and assign it to the field; if
// field is expecting a ptr assign will assign a ptr.
func assign(field, value reflect.Value) {
	value = reflect.Indirect(value)

	if field.Kind() == reflect.Ptr {
		// initialize pointer so it's value
		// can be set by assignValue
		field.Set(reflect.New(field.Type().Elem()))
		field = field.Elem()

	}

	assignValue(field, value)
}

// assign assigns the specified value to the field,
// expecting both values not to be pointer types.
