|
A powerful language integrated query (LINQ) library for Go.
|
|
* Written in vanilla Go, no dependencies!
|
|
* Complete lazy evaluation with iterator pattern
|
|
* Safe for concurrent use
|
|
* Supports generic functions to make your code cleaner and free of type assertions
|
|
* Supports arrays, slices, maps, strings, channels and custom collections
|
|
|
|

## Quickstart
|
|
|
|
Usage is as easy as chaining methods like:
|
|
|
|
`From(slice)` `.Where(predicate)` `.Select(selector)` `.Union(data)`
|
|
|
|
**Example 1: Find all owners of cars manufactured after 2015**
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import . "github.com/ahmetalpbalkan/go-linq"
|
|
|
|
type Car struct {
|
|
year int
|
|
owner, model string
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
|
|
var owners []string
|
|
|
|
From(cars).Where(func(c interface{}) bool {
|
|
return c.(Car).year >= 2015
|
|
}).Select(func(c interface{}) interface{} {
|
|
return c.(Car).owner
|
|
}).ToSlice(&owners)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, you can use generic functions, like `WhereT` and `SelectT` to simplify your code
|
|
(at a performance penalty):
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
var owners []string
|
|
|
|
From(cars).WhereT(func(c Car) bool {
|
|
return c.year >= 2015
|
|
}).SelectT(func(c Car) string {
|
|
return c.owner
|
|
}).ToSlice(&owners)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example 2: Find the author who has written the most books**
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
import . "github.com/ahmetalpbalkan/go-linq"
|
|
|
|
type Book struct {
|
|
id int
|
|
title string
|
|
authors []string
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
author := From(books).SelectMany( // make a flat array of authors
|
|
func(book interface{}) Query {
|
|
return From(book.(Book).authors)
|
|
}).GroupBy( // group by author
|
|
func(author interface{}) interface{} {
|
|
return author // author as key
|
|
}, func(author interface{}) interface{} {
|
|
return author // author as value
|
|
}).OrderByDescending( // sort groups by its length
|
|
func(group interface{}) interface{} {
|
|
return len(group.(Group).Group)
|
|
}).Select( // get authors out of groups
|
|
func(group interface{}) interface{} {
|
|
return group.(Group).Key
|
|
}).First() // take the first author
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example 3: Implement a custom method that leaves only values greater than the specified threshold**
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
type MyQuery Query
|
|
|
|
func (q MyQuery) GreaterThan(threshold int) Query {
|
|
return Query{
|
|
Iterate: func() Iterator {
|
|
next := q.Iterate()
|
|
|
|
return func() (item interface{}, ok bool) {
|
|
for item, ok = next(); ok; item, ok = next() {
|
|
if item.(int) > threshold {
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
return
|
|
}
|
|
},
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
result := MyQuery(Range(1,10)).GreaterThan(5).Results()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Generic Functions
|
|
|
|
Although Go doesn't implement generics, with some reflection tricks, you can use go-linq without
|
|
typing `interface{}`s and type assertions. This will introduce a performance penalty (5x-10x slower)
|
|
but will yield in a cleaner and more readable code.
|
|
|
|
Methods with `T` suffix (such as `WhereT`) accept functions with generic types. So instead of
|
|
|
|
.Select(func(v interface{}) interface{} {...})
|
|
|
|
you can type:
|
|
|
|
.SelectT(func(v YourType) YourOtherType {...})
|
|
|
|
This will make your code free of `interface{}` and type assertions.
|
|
|
|
**Example 4: "MapReduce" in a slice of string sentences to list the top 5 most used words using generic functions**
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
var results []string
|
|
|
|
From(sentences).
|
|
// split sentences to words
|
|
SelectManyT(func(sentence string) Query {
|
|
return From(strings.Split(sentence, " "))
|
|
}).
|
|
// group the words
|
|
GroupByT(
|
|
func(word string) string { return word },
|
|
func(word string) string { return word },
|
|
).
|
|
// order by count
|
|
OrderByDescendingT(func(wordGroup Group) int {
|
|
return len(wordGroup.Group)
|
|
}).
|
|
// order by the word
|
|
ThenByT(func(wordGroup Group) string {
|
|
return wordGroup.Key.(string)
|
|
}).
|
|
Take(5). // take the top 5
|
|
// project the words using the index as rank
|
|
SelectIndexedT(func(index int, wordGroup Group) string {
|
|
return fmt.Sprintf("Rank: #%d, Word: %s, Counts: %d", index+1, wordGroup.Key, len(wordGroup.Group))
|
|
}).
|
|
ToSlice(&results)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

## Release Notes
|
|
|
|
~~~
|
|
v3.0.0 (2017-01-10)
|
|
* Breaking change: ToSlice() now overwrites existing slice starting
|
|
from index 0 and grows/reslices it as needed.
|
|
* Generic methods support (thanks @cleitonmarx!)
|
|
- Accepting parametrized functions was originally proposed in #26
|
|
- You can now avoid type assertions and interface{}s
|
|
- Functions with generic methods are named as "MethodNameT" and
|
|
signature for the existing LINQ methods are unchanged.
|
|
* Added ForEach(), ForEachIndexed() and AggregateWithSeedBy().
|
|
|
|
