Genesis

Generic functions for Go. Bringing the beauty of functional programming in Go 1.18+.

😎 Features:

• 🛠️ Over 170 generic functions for channels, maps, and slices.
• 💪 Uses the power of Go 1.18+ generics.
• 🧐 No code generation.
• 🪶 No dependencies (except is for testing).
• 🏃 Pure Go.
• 🪩 Sync and async versions of all the main functions.

🔨 When to use:

• 🐘 In a big project. More the project grows, more you find yourself writing boring generic code like "Min". Break the cycle.
• 🤝 In a team project. Each line of code you write means higher maintenance cost that in turn means loosing time and money.
• 🐶 In a pet project. Leave the boring stuff to us, focus on the fun parts.
• 📚 When readability matters. slices.Shrink is a function with a human-friendly name and documentation. s[:len(s):len(s)] is a jibberish and black magic. Prefer the former.
• 💔 When you miss some conveniences that come in other languages out-of-the-box.
• 🐇 When you write a highly concurrent code and don't want to manually implement code for cancellation, results collection and ordering, worker groups, context, etc.

📦 What's inside:

• Filter, Map, and Reduce for data processing on steroids.
• FilterAsync, MapAsync, and ReduceAsync for making your code fast and concurrent with a single line of code.
• Grow and Shrink for reducing memory allocations.
• Permutations and Product for simple iterations.
• Shuffle and Sort for randomization.
• Any and All for simple flow control.
• Range, Count, and Cycle for generating sequences.

And much more.

👀 Examples

Find the minimal value in a slice of ints:

lambdas.Must(slices.Min([]int{42, 7, 13})) == 7

Double values in a slice of ints:

slices.Map([]int{4, 8, 15}, func(el int) int { return el * 2 })

Concurrently check status codes for multiple URLs:

urls := []string{
    "https://go.dev/",
    "https://golang.org/",
    "https://google.com/",
}
codes := slices.MapAsync(
    urls, 0,
    func(url string) int {
        return lambdas.Must(http.Get(url)).StatusCode
    },
)

🔨 Usage

Genesis contains the following packages:

• 🍞 slices: generic functions for slices ([]T).
• 🗺 maps: generic functions for maps (map[K]V).
• 📺 channels: generic function for channels (chan T).
• ⚙️ sets: generic function for sets (map[T]struct{}).
• 🛟 lambdas: helper generic functions to work with slices.Map and similar.
