'Zig error: Array access of non-array type

I need some help on creating an array as a struct field in Zig.

const VarStr = struct {
    buffer: [1000]u8,
    len: u8,
    pub fn init(str: []const u8) VarStr {
        var filled: u8 = 0;
        for (str) |char, ind| {
            .buffer[ind] = char;
            filled = ind + 1;
        }
        while (filled < 999) {
            .buffer[filled] = null;
        }
    }
};

When i compile, it gives me the following error

error: array access of non-array type '@Type(.EnumLiteral)'
            .buffer[ind] = char;
                   ^

Where did I go wrong? please help, thank you.
