Slices

Pure functions for slices. Slices are never operated on "in place". Instead, new ones are returned.

Documentation

For full documentation see pkg.go.dev.

Install

go get github.com/twharmon/slices

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/twharmon/slices"
)

func main() {
	// use plain go slices
	s := []string{"foo", "ba"}

	// append new item to end of slice
	s = slices.Append(s, "b")
	fmt.Println(s) // [foo ba b]
	
	// sort by string length, ascending
	sorted := slices.SortFunc(s, func(a, b string) bool {
		return len(a) < len(b)
	})
	// original slice is not chaged
	fmt.Println(s, sorted) // [foo ba b] [b ba foo]

	// sum the lengths of all the strings    
	totalLen := slices.Reduce(s, func(cnt int, i string) int {
		return cnt + len(i)
	})
	fmt.Println(totalLen) // 6

	// find the first item with length 2
	str := slices.Find(s, func(item string) bool { return len(item) == 2 })    
	fmt.Println(str) // ba

	// map slice to new slice of different type
	ints := slices.Map(s, func(item string) int { return len(s) })    
	fmt.Println(ints) // [3 2 1]
}
