each new build gets tested in multiple steps:

• on development i regularly type go test from time to time to check the test suite
• also there are a few go apps in the examples-folder which i test to build and run
• on commit, git automatically runs the pre-commit-hook shell script
• after a commit gets pushed to GitHub, the following tests are started via Webhooks and Services
  • Travis CI build the lib and all tests on docker containers with the go versions noted in .travis.yml
  • appveyor builds the lib on Windows Server to test against the Microsoft Infrastructure (.appveyor.yml)
  • magnum-ci, another ci service build the lib and tests on a linux (ubuntu) machine
  • semaphoreci, yet another (linux (ubuntu) based) ci service

WARNING

some functions in this repo enables you to write really bad code - I wrote it anyway because:

• sometimes you need a quick and dirty solution
• it shows you possible ways, feel free to fork and customize
• mostly bad go code is better than good php code - every aspect in golang is designed to prevent from bad code

BUT: please remember that you can do things more performantly e.g. converting a string to a float is much faster done with strconv.ParseFloat than with as.Float.

sublibs

ansi -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/ansi"

ansi can print colored and styled text to your terminal:

• green, yellow and red strings:

log.Println(ansi.Color("INFO: everything is fine", ansi.Green))
log.Println(ansi.Color("WARNING: not everything is fine", ansi.Yellow))
log.Println(ansi.Color("ERROR: OMG!!!", ansi.Red))

• bold and underlined text:

fmt.Printf("this is %v and %v text", ansi.Bold("bold"), ansi.Underline("underlined"))

arg -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/arg"

the arg package simplifies cli flags (arguments)

as -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/as"

with as you can convert most standard data types to most other data types e.g.

• int to string:

var x string = as.String(int(32))

• string to int:

var x int = as.Int("32")

• string to time:

var x time.Time = as.Time("31.12.2014")

cache -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/cache"

cachedfile -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/cachedfile"

cachedfile simplifies reading and writing from and to disk and adds caching

do

str := "Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci velit."
err := cachedfile.Write("filename.txt", str, false)

and in less then 15 minutes this

str, _ := cachedfile.Read("filename.txt")

and there will be no file access to disk. If you kill the App, wait 15 min or call cachedfile.Stop() the cached content will be exported to disk.

channel -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/channel"

channel simplifies channel operations, e.g. sending the same data to multiple receivers

con := channel.Init()

receiver01 := con.AddReceiver()
receiver02 := con.AddReceiver()
receiver03 := con.AddReceiver()

go func() {
  fmt.Println(<-receiver01)
}()

go func() {
  fmt.Println(<-receiver02)
}()

go func() {
  fmt.Println(<-receiver03)
}()

transmitter01 := con.AddTransmitter()

transmitter01 <- "Hello World"

csv -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/csv"

file -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/file"

file wraps around the standard functions to simplify reading and writing on disk

str := "Neque porro quisquam est, qui dolorem ipsum, quia dolor sit, amet, consectetur, adipisci velit."
err := file.Write("filename.txt", str, false)

Besides simple reading and writing, the package also contains functions to test file statuses, read large files by small blocks, clear, rename and delete files. There is even a function for do things with each file in a directory (even with subfolders):

err := file.Each("..", true, func(filename, extension, filepath string, dir bool, fileinfo os.FileInfo) {
	if extension == "go" && !dir {
		t.Logf("%v, %v, %v, %v\n", filename, filepath, dir, fileinfo)
	}
}

If you need the absolute path to a file, but only have a relative path, you can use file.GetAbsolutePath("~/path/to/file.txt").

foreach -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/foreach"

foreach calls a given function for each element of a [ JSON-string ]

gcurses -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/gcurses"

gcurses is a terminal control library for Unixoide systems, enabling the development of text user interface applications.

Named after the "GUI-like" terminal application toolkit ncurses (new curses) which is named after the original curses. This library is in a very early stage.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/gcurses"
  "time"
)

func main() {
  writer := gcurses.New()

  writer.Start()

  for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
    fmt.Fprintf(writer, "Count till one hundred: %d\nStill counting ...\n", i)
    time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 10)
  }

  time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * 500)
  fmt.Fprintln(writer, "Finished counting")

  writer.Stop()
}

gopath -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/gopath"

gopath provides an easy way to get system information

to read a config file in which is in the same file as the executable, you can do something like this:

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "path/filepath"
  "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/file"
  "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/gopath"
)

func main() {
  dir := gopath.Dir()
  config := file.Read(filepath.Join(dir, "config.yaml"))
  
  ...

graphics -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/graphics"

with graphics you can manipulate images

img := graphics.EachPixel(file, func(r, g, b, a uint8) (uint8, uint8, uint8, uint8) {
	return g, b, r, a
})

log -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/log"

re -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/re"

re helps you whenever you have to do something multiple times

data, stop := re.Do(time.Second * 5, func(data chan<- interface{}) {
	data <- fmt.Sprintf("%v\n", time.Now().Format("02.01.2006 15:04:05"))
})

regex -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/regex"

regex is a layer to speed up your regular expression development

str, err := regex.ReplaceAllString("Ipsum Lorem", "([^ ]+) ([^ ]+)", "$2 $1")

rss -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/rss"

rss is a rss feed parser based on Golangs std xml package

podcast, err := rss.Read(url)
if err == nil {
  for _, episode := range podcast.Items {
    fmt.Println(episode.Title)
  }
}

ssl -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/ssl"

ssl generates ssl certificates for https

err := ssl.Generate(options)

stack -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/stack"

with stack you can store your values in stacks and rings

array := stack.Lifo()
array.Push(as.Bytes(12.34))
array.Push(as.Float(13.37))
array.Push(as.String(23.0))
for array.Len() > 0 {
	log.Println(array.Pop())
}

structs -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/structs"

xmath -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/xmath"

xmath provides a few mathematical functions like Max, Min, Sum, Median, Harmonic-mean, ...

var f = []float64{.5, 1.33, 2.66, 3.99, 13.37, 23.42, 42.000003}

fmt.Printf("Max: %v\n", xmath.Max(f))
fmt.Printf("Min: %v\n", xmath.Min(f))
fmt.Printf("Sum: %v\n", xmath.Sum(f))

fmt.Printf("Median:     %v\n", xmath.Median(f))
fmt.Printf("Arithmetic: %v\n", xmath.Arithmetic(f))
fmt.Printf("Harmonic:   %v\n", xmath.Harmonic(f))
fmt.Printf("Geometric:  %v\n", xmath.Geometric(f))

xtime -

import "simonwaldherr.de/go/golibs/xtime"

xtime implements a subset of strftime

t, _ := time.Now()
fmt.Println(xtime.Fmt("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", t))
