This command line tool is part of Godash - an efficient Lodash port for golang. Since golang doesn't currently support generics, the closest workaround is to work with code generation. The _gen command line tool generates code based on your project requirements and adds it to the go-dash/slice library.
brew install go-dash/tools/gen
Verify the installation by running _gen --version.
-
Write your project code normally according to the instructions in the
go-dash/sliceslibrary. -
Using terminal, open your project root and run the command line tool once by typing
_gen. -
That's it, the new code for the types you need will appear in
$GOPATH/src/github.com/go-dash/slice.
The tool first analyzes your source code and looks for imports of the format:
"github.com/go-dash/slice/_TYPE"
For example:
import "github.com/go-dash/slice/_string"
import "github.com/go-dash/slice/_int"
import "github.com/go-dash/slice/_Person"It then generates new subsets of the library for your specific types. The generated code will be placed in:
$GOPATH/src/github.com/go-dash/slice/_string
$GOPATH/src/github.com/go-dash/slice/_int
$GOPATH/src/github.com/go-dash/slice/_Person
