Usage

Examples are based on example types, variables and functions definition.

func Every

func Every[T any](items []T, specification Specification) bool

The Every() func returns true if all items satisfy specification. Else, return false.

Example :

goslices.Every(users, NewHasFirstnameSpecification()) // true
goslices.Every(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("John")) // false

func Filter

func Filter[T any](items []T, specification Specification) []T

The Filter() func returns a new slice with items satisfying specification.

Example :

goslices.Filter(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("John")) // John Doe, John Travis
goslices.Filter(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("Mike")) // []

func Find

func Find[T any](items []T, specification Specification) T

The Find() func returns the first item in slice satisfying specification. Else, return empty value.

Example :

goslices.Find(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("John")) // John Doe
goslices.Find(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("Mike")) // Empty User

func FindIndex

func FindIndex[T any](items []T, specification Specification) int

The FindIndex() func returns index of the first item in slice satisfying specification. Else, return -1.

Example :

goslices.FindIndex(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("John")) // 0
goslices.FindIndex(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("Mike")) // -1

func Includes

func Includes[T comparable](items []T, searchElement T) bool

The Includes() func returns true if at least one item in slice is equal to searchElement. Else, return false.

Example :

goslices.Includes(jobs, "developer") // true
goslices.Includes(jobs, "postman") // false

func Map

func Map[T any, S any](items []T, callback func(item T, idx int, items []T) S) []S

The Map() func creates a new slice populated with elements returned by function called on each slice element.

Example :

goslices.Map(users, func(user User, _ int, _ []User) Employee {
  return NewEmployee(user.firstname, user.lastname, goslices.Rand(jobs))
}) // []Employee

func Rand

func Rand[T any](items []T) T

The Rand() func returns a random element from slice. Empty value if slice is empty.

Example :

goslices.Rand(jobs) // string

func Reduce

func Reduce[T any, S any](items []T, callback func(acc S, item T, idx int, items []T) S, initialValue S) S

The Reduce() func executes a reducer function on each slice element, passing in the return value from the calculation on the preceding element.

Example :

goslices.Reduce(users, func(acc map[string]int, user User, _ int, _ []User) map[string]int {
  acc[user.firstname]++
  return acc
}, map[string]int{}) // map[Aliyah:1 Arnas:1 John:2 Marcos:1]

func Some

func Some[T any](items []T, specification Specification) bool

The Some() func returns true if at least one item satisfy specification. Else, return false.

Example :

goslices.Some(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("John")) // true
goslices.Some(users, NewFirstnameSpecification("Mike")) // false
