How do I pass an array of configurations to a YAML file in Golang?

I am trying to create a YAML configuration file using gosexy/yaml.

I know how to create a YAML file of the following format:

another:
  tree:
  - 1

I use the code settings.Set("another","tree",[]int{1}) to create the above file.

Now, how can I create a file of the format

another:
  - tree: 1

I tried using the code settings.Set("another",[]{yaml.Set("tree",1)}) to create the above file. As it might be obvious, I receive a type error since I am not passing the type to the array.

Am I on the right track? If yes, what should be the type to be passed. If no, what is the alternative way to do this?

the type of tree that you need is []map[string]int

example code:

settings := yaml.New()
settings.Set("another", []map[string]int{{"tree": 1}})
settings.Write("test.yaml")

the result of test.yaml

another:
- tree: 1

hope it help
