Convenience file functions for Go.

What

This is a small collection of file functions to make development simpler.

  • NewCloser() creates a deferrable Closer with no return value, which holds a list of files to close. Any errors from each close operation will be printed to stderr with a timestamp.
  • LoadJSON() is a convenience function to load JSON from a file.
  • SaveJSON() is the saving counterpart to LoadJSON() which uses a Closer for consistent error output.
  • Exosts() tests if a file or directory exists.
  • DirExists() tests if a directory exists, and returns false if the path is a file.
  • FileExists() tests if a file exists, and returns false if the path is a directory.
  • WriteFile() writes a file to disk, logging both open and close errors to stderr with a timestamp. There is no return value.
