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.

💾 Installation

go get github.com/life4/genesis

👀 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.
