tag Go Version GoDoc Build Status Go report Coverage License

🦄 samber/mo brings monads and popular FP abstractions to Go projects. samber/mo uses the recent Go 1.18+ Generics.

Inspired by:

  • Scala
  • Rust
  • FP-TS

See also:

  • samber/lo: A Lodash-style Go library based on Go 1.18+ Generics
  • samber/do: A dependency injection toolkit based on Go 1.18+ Generics

Why this name?

I love short name for such utility library. This name is similar to "Monad Go" and no Go package currently uses this name.

💡 Features

We currently support the following data types:

  • Option[T] (Maybe)
  • Result[T]
  • Either[A, B]
  • EitherX[T1, ..., TX] (With X between 3 and 5)
  • Future[T]
  • IO[T]
  • IOEither[T]
  • Task[T]
  • TaskEither[T]
  • State[S, A]

🚀 Install

go get github.com/samber/mo@v1

This library is v1 and follows SemVer strictly.

No breaking changes will be made to exported APIs before v2.0.0.

This library has no dependencies except the Go std lib.

💡 Quick start

You can import mo using:

import (
    "github.com/samber/mo"
)

Then use one of the helpers below:

option1 := mo.Some(42)
// Some(42)

option1.
    FlatMap(func (value int) Option[int] {
        return Some(value*2)
    }).
    FlatMap(func (value int) Option[int] {
        return Some(value%2)
    }).
    FlatMap(func (value int) Option[int] {
        return Some(value+21)
    }).
    OrElse(1234)
// 21

option2 := mo.None[int]()
// None

option2.OrElse(1234)
// 1234

option3 := option1.Match(
    func(i int) (int, bool) {
        // when value is present
        return i * 2, true
    },
    func() (int, bool) {
        // when value is absent
        return 0, false
    },
)
// Some(42)

More examples in documentation.

Tips for lazy developers

I cannot recommend it, but in case you are too lazy for repeating mo. everywhere, you can import the entire library into the namespace.

import (
    . "github.com/samber/mo"
)

I take no responsibility on this junk. 😁 💩

🤠 Documentation and examples

GoDoc: https://godoc.org/github.com/samber/mo

Option[T any]

Option is a container for an optional value of type T. If value exists, Option is of type Some. If the value is absent, Option is of type None.

Constructors:

Methods:

Result[T any]

Result respresent a result of an action having one of the following output: success or failure. An instance of Result is an instance of either Ok or Err. It could be compared to Either[error, T].

Constructors:

Methods:

Either[L any, R any]

Either respresents a value of 2 possible types. An instance of Either is an instance of either A or B.

🛩 Benchmark

// @TODO

This library does not use reflect package. We don't expect overhead.
