lo

✨ lo is a Lodash-style Go library based on Go 1.18+ Generics.

This project started as an experiment with the new generics implementation. It may look like Lodash in some aspects. I used to code with the fantastic "go-funk" package, but "go-funk" uses reflection and therefore is not typesafe.

As expected, benchmarks demonstrate that generics will be much faster than implementations based on the "reflect" package. Benchmarks also show similar performance gains compared to pure for loops. See below.

In the future, 5 to 10 helpers will overlap with those coming into the Go standard library (under package names slices and maps). I feel this library is legitimate and offers many more valuable abstractions.

Why this name?

I wanted a short name, similar to "Lodash" and no Go package currently uses this name.

🚀 Install

go get github.com/samber/lo@v1

This library is v1 and follows SemVer strictly.

No breaking changes will be made to exported APIs before v2.0.0.

💡 Usage

You can import lo using:

import (
    "github.com/samber/lo"
    lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"
)

Then use one of the helpers below:

names := lo.Uniq[string]([]string{"Samuel", "Marc", "Samuel"})
// []string{"Samuel", "Marc"}

Most of the time, the compiler will be able to infer the type so that you can call: lo.Uniq([]string{...}).

Map

Manipulates a slice of one type and transforms it into a slice of another type:

import "github.com/samber/lo"

lo.Map[int64, string]([]int64{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(x int64, _ int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(x, 10)
})
// []string{"1", "2", "3", "4"}

Parallel processing: like lo.Map(), but the mapper function is called in a goroutine. Results are returned in the same order.

import lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"

lop.Map[int64, string]([]int64{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(x int64, _ int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(x, 10)
})
// []string{"1", "2", "3", "4"}

FlatMap

Manipulates a slice and transforms and flattens it to a slice of another type.

lo.FlatMap[int, string]([]int{0, 1, 2}, func(x int, _ int) []string {
	return []string{
		strconv.FormatInt(x, 10),
		strconv.FormatInt(x, 10),
	}
})
// []string{"0", "0", "1", "1", "2", "2"}

FilterMap

Returns a slice which obtained after both filtering and mapping using the given callback function.

The callback function should return two values: the result of the mapping operation and whether the result element should be included or not.

matching := lo.FilterMap[string, string]([]string{"cpu", "gpu", "mouse", "keyboard"}, func(x string, _ int) (string, bool) {
    if strings.HasSuffix(x, "pu") {
        return "xpu", true
    }
    return "", false
})
// []string{"xpu", "xpu"}

Filter

Iterates over a collection and returns an array of all the elements the predicate function returns true for.

even := lo.Filter[int]([]int{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(x int, _ int) bool {
    return x%2 == 0
})
// []int{2, 4}

Contains

Returns true if an element is present in a collection.

present := lo.Contains[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, 5)
// true

ContainsBy

Returns true if the predicate function returns true.

present := lo.ContainsBy[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(x int) bool {
    return x == 3
})
// true

Reduce

Reduces a collection to a single value. The value is calculated by accumulating the result of running each element in the collection through an accumulator function. Each successive invocation is supplied with the return value returned by the previous call.

sum := lo.Reduce[int, int]([]int{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(agg int, item int, _ int) int {
    return agg + item
}, 0)
// 10

ForEach

Iterates over elements of a collection and invokes the function over each element.

import "github.com/samber/lo"

lo.ForEach[string]([]string{"hello", "world"}, func(x string, _ int) {
    println(x)
})
// prints "hello\nworld\n"

Parallel processing: like lo.ForEach(), but the callback is called as a goroutine.

import lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"

lop.ForEach[string]([]string{"hello", "world"}, func(x string, _ int) {
    println(x)
})
// prints "hello\nworld\n" or "world\nhello\n"

Times

Times invokes the iteratee n times, returning an array of the results of each invocation. The iteratee is invoked with index as argument.

import "github.com/samber/lo"

lo.Times[string](3, func(i int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(int64(i), 10)
})
// []string{"0", "1", "2"}

Parallel processing: like lo.Times(), but callback is called in goroutine.

import lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"

lop.Times[string](3, func(i int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(int64(i), 10)
})
// []string{"0", "1", "2"}

Uniq

Returns a duplicate-free version of an array, in which only the first occurrence of each element is kept. The order of result values is determined by the order they occur in the array.

uniqValues := lo.Uniq[int]([]int{1, 2, 2, 1})
// []int{1, 2}

UniqBy

Returns a duplicate-free version of an array, in which only the first occurrence of each element is kept. The order of result values is determined by the order they occur in the array. It accepts iteratee which is invoked for each element in array to generate the criterion by which uniqueness is computed.

uniqValues := lo.UniqBy[int, int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(i int) int {
    return i%3
})
// []int{0, 1, 2}

GroupBy

Returns an object composed of keys generated from the results of running each element of collection through iteratee.

import lo "github.com/samber/lo"

groups := lo.GroupBy[int, int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(i int) int {
    return i%3
})
// map[int][]int{0: []int{0, 3}, 1: []int{1, 4}, 2: []int{2, 5}}

Parallel processing: like lo.GroupBy(), but callback is called in goroutine.

import lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"

lop.GroupBy[int, int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(i int) int {
    return i%3
})
// map[int][]int{0: []int{0, 3}, 1: []int{1, 4}, 2: []int{2, 5}}

Chunk

Returns an array of elements split into groups the length of size. If array can't be split evenly, the final chunk will be the remaining elements.

lo.Chunk[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, 2)
// [][]int{{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}}

lo.Chunk[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}, 2)
// [][]int{{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}, {6}}

lo.Chunk[int]([]int{}, 2)
// [][]int{}

lo.Chunk[int]([]int{0}, 2)
// [][]int{{0}}

PartitionBy

Returns an array of elements split into groups. The order of grouped values is determined by the order they occur in collection. The grouping is generated from the results of running each element of collection through iteratee.

import lo "github.com/samber/lo"

partitions := lo.PartitionBy[int, string]([]int{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(x int) string {
    if x < 0 {
        return "negative"
    } else if x%2 == 0 {
        return "even"
    }
    return "odd"
})
// [][]int{{-2, -1}, {0, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 5}}

Parallel processing: like lo.PartitionBy(), but callback is called in goroutine. Results are returned in the same order.

import lop "github.com/samber/lo/parallel"

partitions := lo.PartitionBy[int, string]([]int{-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(x int) string {
    if x < 0 {
        return "negative"
    } else if x%2 == 0 {
        return "even"
    }
    return "odd"
})
// [][]int{{-2, -1}, {0, 2, 4}, {1, 3, 5}}

Flatten

Returns an array a single level deep.

Reverse

Reverses array so that the first element becomes the last, the second element becomes the second to last, and so on.

reverseOder := lo.Reverse[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5})

type foo struct {
	bar string
}

func (f foo) Clone() foo {
	return foo{f.bar}
}

slice := lo.Repeat[foo](2, foo{"a"})
// []foo{foo{"a"}, foo{"a"}}

RepeatBy

Builds a slice with values returned by N calls of callback.

slice := lo.RepeatBy[int](0, func (i int) int {
    return math.Pow(i, 2)
})
// []int{}

slice := lo.RepeatBy[int](5, func (i int) int {
    return math.Pow(i, 2)
})
// []int{0, 1, 4, 9, 16}

// map[int]string{1: "a", 2: "aa", 3: "aaa"}

type Character struct {
	dir  string
	code int
}
characters := []Character{
    {dir: "left", code: 97},
    {dir: "right", code: 100},
}
result := lo.KeyBy[string, Character](characters, func(char Character) string {

// 2

notFound := lo.IndexOf[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3}, 6)
// -1

LastIndex

Returns the index at which the last occurrence of a value is found in an array or return -1 if the value cannot be found.

found := lo.LastIndexOf[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3}, 2)
// 4

notFound := lo.LastIndexOf[int]([]int{0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3}, 6)

    return i == "b"
})
// "b", 1, true

    return i == "b"
})
// "", -1, false

min := lo.Min[int]([]int{1, 2, 3})
// 1

min := lo.Min[int]([]int{})
// 0

MinBy

Search the minimum value of a collection using the given comparison function. If several values of the collection are equal to the smallest value, returns the first such value.

min := lo.MinBy[string]([]string{"s1", "string2", "s3"}, func(item string, min string) bool {
    return len(item) < len(min)
})
// "s1"

        return 1
    }).
    ElseIfF(false, func () int {
        return 2
    }).
    ElseF(func () int {
        return 3
    })
// 1

Mixed:

result := lo.IfF[int](true, func () int {
        return 1
    }).
    Else(42)
// 1

Switch / Case / Default

result := lo.Switch[int, string](1).
    Case(1, "1").
    Case(2, "2").

// "2"

result := lo.Switch[int, string](42).
    Case(1, "1").
    Case(2, "2").
    Default("3")
// "3"

    CaseF(1, func() string {
        return "1"
    }).
    CaseF(2, func() string {
        return "2"
    }).
    DefaultF(func() string {

    CaseF(1, func() string {
        return "1"
    }).
    Default("42")
// "1"

ToPtr

Returns a pointer copy of value.

ptr := lo.ToPtr[string]("hello world")
// *string{"hello world"}

ToSlicePtr

Returns a slice of pointer copy of value.

ptr := lo.ToSlicePtr[string]([]string{"hello", "world"})
// []*string{"hello", "world"}

ToAnySlice

elements := lo.ToAnySlice[int]([]int{1, 5, 1})
// []any{1, 5, 1}

FromAnySlice

elements, ok := lo.FromAnySlice[string]([]any{"foobar", 42})
// []string{}, false

elements, ok := lo.FromAnySlice[string]([]any{"foobar", "42"})

// 1 true

result, ok := lo.Coalesce("")
// "" false

var nilStr *string
str := "foobar"
result, ok := lo.Coalesce[*string](nil, nilStr, &str)
// &"foobar" true

Attempt

Invokes a function N times until it returns valid output. Returning either the caught error or nil. When first argument is less than 1, the function runs until a sucessfull response is returned.

iter, err := lo.Attempt(42, func(i int) error {
    if i == 5 {
        return nil
    }

    return fmt.Errorf("failed")
})
// 6
// nil

iter, err := lo.Attempt(2, func(i int) error {
    if i == 5 {
        return nil
    }

    return fmt.Errorf("failed")
})
// 2
// error "failed"

iter, err := lo.Attempt(0, func(i int) error {
    if i < 42 {
        return fmt.Errorf("failed")
    }

    return nil
})
// 43
// nil

For more advanced retry strategies (delay, exponential backoff...), please take a look on cenkalti/backoff.

AttemptWithDelay

Invokes a function N times until it returns valid output, with a pause betwwen each call. Returning either the caught error or nil.

When first argument is less than 1, the function runs until a sucessfull response is returned.

iter, duration, err := lo.AttemptWithDelay(5, 2*time.Second, func(i int, duration time.Duration) error {
    if i == 2 {
        return nil
    }

    return fmt.Errorf("failed")
})
// 3
// ~ 4 seconds
// nil

For more advanced retry strategies (delay, exponential backoff...), please take a look on cenkalti/backoff.

Debounce

NewDebounce creates a debounced instance that delays invoking functions given until after wait milliseconds have elapsed, until cancel is called.

f := func() {
    println("Called once after 100ms when debounce stopped invoking!")
}

debounce, cancel := lo.NewDebounce(100 * time.Millisecond, f)
for j := 0; j < 10; j++ {
    debounce()
}

time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
cancel()

Synchronize

Wraps the underlying callback in a mutex. It receives an optional mutex.

s := lo.Synchronize()

for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
    go s.Do(func () {
        println("will be called sequentially")
    })
}

It is equivalent to:

mu := sync.Mutex{}

func foobar() {
    mu.Lock()
    defer mu.Unlock()

    // ...
}

Async

Executes a function in a goroutine and returns the result in a channel.

ch := lo.Async(func() error { time.Sleep(10 * time.Second); return nil })
// chan error (nil)

Async{0->6}

Executes a function in a goroutine and returns the result in a channel. For function with multiple return values, the results will be returned as a tuple inside the channel. For function without return, struct{} will be returned in the channel.

ch := lo.Async0(func() { time.Sleep(10 * time.Second) })
// chan struct{}

ch := lo.Async1(func() int {
  time.Sleep(10 * time.Second);
  return 42
})
// chan int (42)

ch := lo.Async2(func() (int, string) {
  time.Sleep(10 * time.Second);
  return 42, "Hello"
})
// chan lo.Tuple2[int, string] ({42, "Hello"})

Must

Wraps a function call to panics if second argument is error or false, returns the value otherwise.

val := lo.Must(time.Parse("2006-01-02", "2022-01-15"))
// 2022-01-15

val := lo.Must(time.Parse("2006-01-02", "bad-value"))
// panics

Must{0->6}

Must* has the same behavior than Must, but returns multiple values.

func example0() (error)
func example1() (int, error)
func example2() (int, string, error)
func example3() (int, string, time.Date, error)
func example4() (int, string, time.Date, bool, error)
func example5() (int, string, time.Date, bool, float64, error)
func example6() (int, string, time.Date, bool, float64, byte, error)

lo.Must0(example0())
val1 := lo.Must1(example1())    // alias to Must
val1, val2 := lo.Must2(example2())
val1, val2, val3 := lo.Must3(example3())
val1, val2, val3, val4 := lo.Must4(example4())
val1, val2, val3, val4, val5 := lo.Must5(example5())
val1, val2, val3, val4, val5, val6 := lo.Must6(example6())

You can wrap functions like func (...) (..., ok bool).

// math.Signbit(float64) bool
lo.Must0(math.Signbit(v))

// bytes.Cut([]byte,[]byte) ([]byte, []byte, bool)
before, after := lo.Must2(bytes.Cut(s, sep))

Try

Calls the function and return false in case of error and on panic.

ok := lo.Try(func() error {
    panic("error")
    return nil
})
// false

ok := lo.Try(func() error {
    return nil
})
// true

ok := lo.Try(func() error {
    return fmt.Errorf("error")
})
// false

Try{0->6}

The same behavior than Try, but callback returns 2 variables.

ok := lo.Try2(func() (string, error) {
    panic("error")
    return "", nil
})
// false

TryWithErrorValue

The same behavior than Try, but also returns value passed to panic.

err, ok := lo.TryWithErrorValue(func() error {
    panic("error")
    return nil
})
// "error", false

TryCatch

The same behavior than Try, but calls the catch function in case of error.

caught := false

ok := lo.TryCatch(func() error {
    panic("error")
    return nil
}, func() {
    caught = true
})
// false
// caught == true

TryCatchWithErrorValue

The same behavior than TryWithErrorValue, but calls the catch function in case of error.

caught := false

ok := lo.TryCatchWithErrorValue(func() error {
    panic("error")
    return nil
}, func(val any) {
    caught = val == "error"
})
// false
// caught == true

🛩 Benchmark

We executed a simple benchmark with the a dead-simple lo.Map loop:

See the full implementation here.

_ = lo.Map[int64](arr, func(x int64, i int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(x, 10)
})

Result:

Here is a comparison between lo.Map, lop.Map, go-funk library and a simple Go for loop.

lo.Map is way faster (x7) than go-funk, a relection-based Map implementation.
lo.Map have the same allocation profile than for.
lo.Map is 4% slower than for.
lop.Map is slower than lo.Map because it implies more memory allocation and locks. lop.Map will be usefull for long-running callbacks, such as i/o bound processing.
for beats other implementations for memory and CPU.
