package ptr

// ptr package is a common package used for pointer
|
|
// access and deserialization.
|
|
|
|
// Val Generic function for dereferencing pointers.
|
|
// Microsoft Graph saves many variables as string pointers.
|
|
// Function will safely check if the point is nil prior to
|
|
// dereferencing the pointer. If the pointer is nil,
|
|
// an empty version of the object is returned.
|
|
// Operation does not work on Nested objects.
|
|
// For example:
|
|
// *evt.GetEnd().GetDateTime() will still cause a panic
|
|
// if evt is nil or GetEnd() is nil
|
|
func Val[T any](ptr *T) T {
|
|
if ptr == nil {
|
|
return *new(T)

}
