Go slice helper functions

Install with:

go get github.com/hamba/slices

Contains is a generic slice contains function.

Supports: bool, string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64

slice := []string{"foo", "bar"}
v := "bar"

fmt.Println(slices.Contains(slice, v))
// Outputs: true

GreaterOf returns a greater function for the given slice type for slice sorting.

Supports: string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64

slice := []string{"foo", "bar"}
sort.Slice(slice, slices.GreaterOf(slice))

fmt.Println(slice)
// Outputs: [foo bar]

LesserOf returns a lesser function for the given slice type for slice sorting.

Supports: string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64

slice := []string{"foo", "bar"}
sort.Slice(slice, slices.LesserOf(slice))

fmt.Println(slice)
// Outputs: [bar foo]

Intersect returns the intersection of 2 slices.

Supports: string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64

slice := []string{"foo", "bar", "baz", "bat"}
other := []string{"bar", "baz", "test"}

fmt.Println(slices.Intersect(slice, other))
// Outputs: [bar baz]

Except returns the all elements in the first slice that are not in the second.

Supports: string, int, int8, int16, int32, int64, uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, float32, float64

slice := []string{"foo", "bar", "baz", "bat"}
other := []string{"bar", "baz", "test"}

fmt.Println(slices.Except(slice, other))
// Outputs: [foo bat]

Always benchmark with your own workload. The result depends heavily on the data input.
