A simple Utility library for Go

Go does not provide many essential built in functions when it comes to the data structure such as slice and map. This library provides a list of most frequently needed utility functions which are inspired by lodash(a Javascript Utility library).

Main features of gofp

Installation

Please run the following command in terminal to install

go get github.com/rbrahul/gofp

How to use?

This the example which describes how you can implement pipe operations using gofp


package main

import (
"fmt"
"strings"
"github.com/rbrahul/gofp"
)

func main() {
	user := map[string]interface{}{
		"name": "John Doe",
		"age":  30,
		"contacts": map[string]interface{}{
			"email":  "johndoe@gmail.com",
			"office": "Google Inc.",
			"fax": map[string]interface{}{
				"uk": "+44-208-1234567",
			},
		},
	}
	getContacts := func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		return data.(map[string]interface{})["contacts"]
	}

	getEmail := func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		return data.(map[string]interface{})["email"]
	}
	getUpperCaseEmail := func(data interface{}) interface{} {
		return strings.ToUpper(data.(string))
	}

	email := gofp.Pipe(
		getContacts,
		getEmail,
		getUpperCaseEmail,
	)(user)

    fmt.Println("Email is: ", email) // Output: Email is: JOHNDOE@GMAIL.COM

Most commonly used utility functions for Collection or slice

Map()

Returns a new slice executing the iterator function on each element. Map has 2 parameters, 1st one is slice and 2nd one is the iterator function. The iterator function must have 2 parameters, index and current value of that iteration.

    ...
    mappedItems := Map([]interface{}{1, 2, 3, 4, 5},
            func(i int, item interface{}) interface{} {
                return item.(int) * item.(int)
            })
    
    fmt.Println(mappedItems) //Output: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25
    ...

Filter()

Returns a new slice containing the filtered elements. The new slice contains those elements who satisfy the condition of the iterator function. Filter has 2 parameters, 1st one is the slice and 2nd one is the iterator function. The iterator function must have 2 parameters, index and current value of that iteration.

    ...
        filteredItems := Filter([]interface{}{12, 16, 18, 20, 23, 40, 25},
            func(i int, age interface{}) bool {
                return age.(int) >= 20
            })
    
    fmt.Println(filteredItems) //Output:  20, 23, 40, 25
    ...

Find()

Returns the first matched element of the slice who satisfy the condition of iterator function. If there is no such element that satisfy the condition of the function then nil is returned. Find has 2 parameters, 1st one is the slice and 2nd one is the iterator function. The iterator function must have 2 parameters, index and current value of that iteration.

    ...
      user := Find([]interface{}{
            map[string]interface{}{"name": "Ron", "sex": "male", "age": 17},
            map[string]interface{}{"name": "Raymond", "sex": "male", "age": 20},

        }, func(i int, person interface{}) bool {
            return person.(map[string]interface{})["age"].(int) >= 18
        })
    fmt.Println(user) //Output:  {"name": "Raymond", "sex": "male", "age": 20}
    ...

Reduce()

Executes a iterator function on each element of the slice, resulting in single output accumulated value. Reducer has 3 parameters, 1st one is the slice and 2nd one is the iterator function and 3rd one is the initial value. The iterator function must have 3 parameters which are index, current value of that iteration and accumulated value or result of previous iterations.

    ...
     reducedItems := Reduce([]interface{}{10, 20, 30, 40},
        func(index int, current interface{}, accumulator interface{}, source []interface{}) interface{} {

    fmt.Println(hasAnyAdult) //Output:  true
    ...

GroupBy()

Returns a new map composed of keys generated from the results of running each element of slice thru iterator function. The order of grouped values is determined by the order they occur in slice.
