Minimal required Golang version: 1.16

Install

go get github.com/julyskies/gohelpers

Available helper functions

• IncludesInt(array []int, value int) bool

  This helper function returns a boolean value if array of int values contains a specified int value.

• IncludesString(array []string, value string) bool

  This helper function returns a boolean value if array of string values contains a specified string value.

• MakeTimestamp() int64

  This helper function returns a UNIX timestamp in milliseconds.

• MakeTimestampSeconds() int64

  This helper function returns a UNIX timestamp in seconds.

• ObjectValues(object interface{}) []string

  This helper function returns an array of values as strings. These values are taken from the provided struct. Behaviour is similar to the Object.values() from JS.

• RandomString(length int) string

Example

import "github.com/julyskies/gohelpers"

type Animals struct {
  Elephant string
  Hippo    string
  Lion     string
}

func example() {
  arrayOfInts := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 9}
  arrayOfStrings := []string{"a", "b", "c"}
  animals := Animals{
    Elephant: "elephant",
    Hippo: "hippo",
    Lion: "lion",
  }

  includesInt := gohelpers.IncludesInt(arrayOfInts, 8) // false

  includesString := gohelpers.IncludesString(arrayOfStrings, "a") // true
  
  values := gohelpers.ObjectValues(animals) // ["elephant", "hippo", "lion"]

  randomString := gohelpers.RandomString(8) // A9is5Try

  timestampMS := gohelpers.MakeTimestamp() // 1627987461201

  timestampSeconds := gohelpers.MakeTimestampSeconds() // 1713957122
}
