Overview

Package gelpers provides miscellaneous helper functions.

Index

• func IntSliceContains(s []int, v int) bool
• func SnakeToCamel(s string) string
• func SpaceSepToCamel(s string) string
• func StringPtr(str string) *string
• func StringVal(strPtr *string) string

Examples

Functions

func IntSliceContains

func IntSliceContains(s []int, v int) bool

IntSliceContains checks if the given slice contains the given value.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ecshreve/gelpers"
)

func main() {
	s := []int{1, 2, 3}
	fmt.Println(gelpers.IntSliceContains(s, 2))
}

Output:

true

func SnakeToCamel

func SnakeToCamel(s string) string

SnakeToCamel converts a snake_case_string to a CamelCaseString. If the input is not valid then it returns the input string.

A string is considered valid if it satisfies the following:

• non-empty
• begins with a letter
• only contains letters, numbers, and the underscores

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ecshreve/gelpers"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(gelpers.SnakeToCamel("foo_bar_baz"))
}

Output:

FooBarBaz

func SpaceSepToCamel

func SpaceSepToCamel(s string) string

SpaceSepToCamel converts a space separated string to a CamelCaseString. If the input is not valid then it returns the input string.

A string is considered valid if it satisfies the following:

• non-empty
• begins with a letter
• only contains letters, numbers, and spaces

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ecshreve/gelpers"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(gelpers.SpaceSepToCamel("foo bar baz"))
}

Output:

FooBarBaz

func StringPtr

func StringPtr(str string) *string

StringPtr conveniently converts a string literal into a pointer to string.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ecshreve/gelpers"
)

func main() {
	sPtr := gelpers.StringPtr("hello")
	fmt.Printf("%T", sPtr)
}

Output:

*string

func StringVal

func StringVal(strPtr *string) string

StringVal conveniently converts a pointer to string to a string literal, if the given pointer is nil it returns an empty string.

Example

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/ecshreve/gelpers"
)

func main() {
	s := "hello"
	sPtr := &s
	sVal := gelpers.StringVal(sPtr)
	fmt.Printf("%T", sVal)
}

Output:

string
