Essential utilities missing from the Go standard library.
Docs: https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mitranim/gg
Some features:
- Designed for Go 1.18+. Takes massive advantage of generics.
- Errors with stack traces.
- Rich tooling for exception-style error handling. A great reduction in verbosity.
- Testing framework: assertions with descriptive errors and traces.
- Goroutine-local storage (GLS) via dynamically scoped variables.
- SQL connector: decode rows into Go structs.
- Functional programming utilities: map, filter, fold, and more.
- Common-sense generic data types: zero-optionals, true optionals, sets, indexed collections, and more.
- Checked math.
- Various shortcuts for reflection.
- Various shortcuts for manipulating slices.
- Various shortcuts for manipulating maps.
- Various shortcuts for manipulating strings.
- CLI flag parsing.
- Carefully designed for compatibility with standard interfaces and interfaces commonly supported by 3rd parties.
- No over-modularization.
- No external dependencies.
Submodules:
gtest: testing and assertion tools.grepr: tools for printing Go data structures as Go code.gsql: SQL tools:- Support for scanning SQL rows into Go structs.
- Support for SQL arrays.
Complemented by other essential libraries:
- mitranim/gt: many primitive types with support for both JSON and SQL; also dash-free UUID, date, interval.
- mitranim/gr: library of HTTP request shortcuts with a builder-style API.
- mitranim/rd: decoder of HTTP requests into structs with support for formdata (URL or body), multipart, as well as JSON. Lets your server transparently support multiple formats.
- mitranim/rout: HTTP router with procedural control flow (extremely rare!)
- mitranim/goh: various utility types which implement
http.Handler; write "functional"-style endpoints without inventing any new interfaces. - mitranim/sqlb: SQL query builder; simple, fast, safe, composable.
- mitranim/gax: write HTML and XML as plain Go code; type-checked and much faster than templating.
- mitranim/rf: tools and shortcuts for reflection; has a "JIT compiler" of efficient walkers for deep Go structures.
