Slices

Functions that operate on slices. Similar to functions from package strings or package bytes that have been adapted to work with slices.

Features

Using a thin layer of idiomatic Go; correctness over performance.
Provide most basic slice operations: index, trim, filter, map
Some PHP favorites like: pop, push, shift, unshift, shuffle, etc...
Non-destructive returns (won't alter original slice), except for explicit tasks.

Quick Start

Install using "go get":

go get github.com/srfrog/slices

Then import from your source:

import "github.com/srfrog/slices"

View example_test.go for examples of basic usage and features.

Usage

This is a en example showing basic usage.

package main

import(
   "fmt"

   "github.com/srfrog/slices"
)

func main() {
	str := `Don't communicate by sharing memory - share memory by communicating`

	// Split string by spaces into a slice.
	slc := strings.Split(str, " ")

	// Count the number of "memory" strings in slc.
	memories := slices.Count(slc, "memory")
	fmt.Println("Memories:", memories)

	// Split slice into two parts.
	parts := slices.Split(slc, "-")
	fmt.Println("Split:", parts, len(parts))

	// Compare second parts slice with original slc.
	diff := slices.Diff(slc, parts[1])
	fmt.Println("Diff:", diff)

	// Chunk the slice
	chunks := slices.Chunk(parts[0], 1)
	fmt.Println("Chunk:", chunks)

	// Merge the parts
	merge := slices.Merge(chunks...)
	fmt.Println("Merge:", merge)
}
