bfmt

This is a package that wraps most functions present in the fmt package with a boolean conditional.

Introduction

If you ever needed to write code like this:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"flag"
)

var verbose bool

func main() {
	flag.BoolVar(&verbose, "v", false, "Enable verbose output")
	flag.Parse()

	if verbose {
		fmt.Println("I'm chatty...")
	}
}

Then you can now use go-bfmt to do this:

package main

import (
	"flag"
	"github.com/hgfischer/go-bfmt"
)

var verbose = bfmt.Bool(false)

func main() {
	flag.Var(&verbose, "v", "Enable verbose output")
	flag.Parse()

	verbose.Println("I'm chatty...")
}
