Callbag.go

Callbag pattern was discovered by André Staltz, and I was facinated by the simplicity of its api and how it has simplified writing data/stream processing tasks. So I decided to port it to Go. The new version takes advantage of Generics in Go 1.18 so no more interface{} and reflect, Yay!!! 🥳

the entrie API is based on the a single function type.

type Type int

const (
	Hello Type = iota
	Data
	Bye
)

type Option[T any] struct {
	Data T
	Err  error
	Func Func[T]
	Type Type
}

type Func[T any] func(opt Option[T]) // <-- that's all you need

At the moment the following functions have been implemented

Installtion

you can either copy/paste the content of callbag.go inside your project or run the follwing command inside your go project.

Documentation

All functions are designed to be async/lazy, which means you need to wait for them, or it will be killed once the program ends. One option is to wait for the end of the stream using ForEach or ToChannel function. All the examples provided the mechanisum to wait for the stream to be ended.

FromInterval

Generates a tick and send an incermental integer value every n's time.Duration.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe2(
		cb.FromInterval[int](1 * time.Second),
		cb.ForEach(func (value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	// because FromInterval never ends, this program will prints values
	// to the end of the world, possible event after that :))
	wg.Wait()
}

FromSlice

If the input is a slice, it can be converted into callbag stream by using FromSlice function as a source. Because slice is Finite, the stream will autoamatically ends once it processes the last item.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe2(
		cb.FromSlice([]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}),
		cb.ForEach(func (value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

FromRange

Generates number values from n to m with step value. It will stream will be terminated by the last iteration.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe2(
		cb.FromRange(1, 10, 2),
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

FromChannel

Converts a given channel into callbag stream. The stream will be termnated once channel is closed.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	ch := make(chan int, 10)
	for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
		ch <- i
	}
	close(ch)

	cb.Pipe2(
		cb.FromChannel(ch),
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

Filter

This function can be used to filter out any items inside stream from going through the stream.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe3(
		cb.FromRange(1, 100, 1),
		cb.Filter(func(value int) bool {
			return value%2 == 0
		}),
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			// prints out all even number between [1,100)
			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

Map

Transforms one value to another.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe3(
		cb.FromRange(1, 10, 1),
		cb.Map(func(value int) string {
			return fmt.Sprintf("Hello %d", value)
		}),
		cb.ForEach(func(value string, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %s\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

ParallelMap

This function is a special case of map that creates N number of goroutines to process the data. It put the processed data back to its original index location. The number of goroutines is determined by the length of input.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe4(
		cb.FromRange(1, 11, 1),
		cb.Group[int](2),
		cb.ParallelMap(func(value int) string {
			return fmt.Sprintf("Hello %d", value)
		}),
		cb.ForEach(func(value []string, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %s\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

Group

This function groups N number of items into a single slice item. This function is useful when you want to use ParallelMap to process N number and once the proces is done, you can use Flatten to flatten the data back to a stream of items.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe3(
		cb.FromRange(1, 11, 1),
		cb.Group[int](2),
		cb.ForEach(func(value []int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %v\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

Flatten

This function converts a stream of slices into a stream of single item

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe4(
		cb.FromRange(1, 11, 1),
		cb.Group[int](2),
		cb.Flatten[int](),
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %v\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

Take

This function gets the N number of items and stop the stream. This function is usful if you are dealing with large or infinite streams.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"
	"time"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	cb.Pipe3(
		cb.FromInterval[int](1*time.Second),
		cb.Take[int](3),
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %d\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}

ForEach

This is a sink function and should be used as the last function in a stream. Once the stream is terminated, the done argument will be set to true

ToChannel

This function is a special case of ForEach function that push all the items to a given channel. Once the stream is terminated, This fucntion will automatically close the channel.

Pipe

Pipe is a helper function that let's combined all types of callbag functions. There are number of varity of this function, Pipe2, Pipe3, Pipe4, ..., Pipe10. The N represents the number of callbag function you can combined. The first argument must be a source, and the last argument must be a sink function. The rest of the arguemnts can be set with all modifier callbag functions.

Compose

Similar to Pipe, Compose is a helper function to compose multiple modifier callbag functions. The compose functions can not accept either of soucre or sink functions.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"sync"

	cb "github.com/alinz/callbag.go"
)

func main() {
	var wg sync.WaitGroup

	wg.Add(1)

	comp1 := cb.Compose2(
		cb.Group[int](2),
		cb.Flatten[int](),
	)

	cb.Pipe3(
		cb.FromRange(1, 11, 1),
		comp1, // <- replace 2 callbag functions with one
		cb.ForEach(func(value int, done bool) {
			if done {
				wg.Done()
				return
			}

			fmt.Printf("value is %v\n", value)
		}),
	)

	wg.Wait()
}
