Golang Options

Overview

This repository contains just a few lines of code, created for reusing cross multiple projects but you can easily implment these lines in your own code.

Options pattern allows decoupling and encapsulation of object creation.

Golang's variadic functions are used to accept multiple functions or none. For example, if we want to create a new object:

o := New(WithSize(32), WithID("0x111"))

Using this approach, we can easily change the internal structure of our options, while preserving a stable interface.

Usage

go get github.com/amirylm/go-options

import (
    "github.com/amirylm/go-options"
)

func main() {
    hello := New(WithSize(4), WithName("hello"))

    world := New(WithName("world"))

    fmt.Println(hello.name) // hello
	fmt.Println(world.name) // world 
	fmt.Println(world.size) // 0 
}

type myStruct struct {
	size int
	name string
}

func WithSize(size int) options.Option[myStruct] {
	return func(o *myStruct) {
		o.size = size
	}
}

func WithName(name string) options.Option[myStruct] {
	return func(o *myStruct) {
		o.name = name
	}
}

func New(o ...options.Option[myStruct]) *myStruct  {
	return options.Apply(nil, o...)
}
