lo - Iterate over slices, maps, channels...

tag Go Version GoDoc Build Status Go report Coverage Contributors License

✨ samber/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 are 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.

See also:

  • samber/do: A dependency injection toolkit based on Go 1.18+ Generics
  • samber/mo: Monads based on Go 1.18+ Generics (Option, Result, Either...)

Why this name?

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

lo

🚀 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.

This library has no dependencies outside the Go standard library.

💡 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", "John", "Samuel"})
// []string{"Samuel", "John"}

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

Tips for lazy developers

I cannot recommend it, but in case you are too lazy for repeating lo. everywhere, you can import the entire library into the namespace.

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

I take no responsibility on this junk. 😁 💩

  • Clonable

Filter

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

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

[play]

Map

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

import "github.com/samber/lo"

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

[play]

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

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

[play]

FlatMap

Manipulates a slice and transforms and flattens it to a slice of another type. The transform function can either return a slice or a nil, and in the nil case no value is added to the final slice.

lo.FlatMap([]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"}

[play]

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{1, 2, 3, 4}, func(agg int, item int, _ int) int {
    return agg + item
}, 0)
// 10

[play]

ReduceRight

Like lo.Reduce except that it iterates over elements of collection from right to left.

result := lo.ReduceRight([][]int{{0, 1}, {2, 3}, {4, 5}}, func(agg []int, item []int, _ int) []int {
    return append(agg, item...)
}, []int{})
// []int{4, 5, 2, 3, 0, 1}

[play]

ForEach

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

import "github.com/samber/lo"

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

[play]

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

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

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

[play]

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

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

lop.Times(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{1, 2, 2, 1})
// []int{1, 2}

[play]

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{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, func(i int) int {
    return i%3
})
// []int{0, 1, 2}

[play]

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{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}}

[play]

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

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

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

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

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

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

[play]

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{-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}}

[play]

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 := lop.PartitionBy([]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.

flat := lo.Flatten([][]int{{0, 1}, {2, 3, 4, 5}})
// []int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

[play]

Interleave

Round-robin alternating input slices and sequentially appending value at index into result.

interleaved := lo.Interleave([]int{1, 4, 7}, []int{2, 5, 8}, []int{3, 6, 9})
// []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}

interleaved := lo.Interleave([]int{1}, []int{2, 5, 8}, []int{3, 6}, []int{4, 7, 9, 10})
// []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}

[play]

Shuffle

Returns an array of shuffled values. Uses the Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.

randomOrder := lo.Shuffle([]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5})
// []int{1, 4, 0, 3, 5, 2}

[play]

Reverse

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

⚠️ This helper is mutable. This behavior might change in v2.0.0. See #160.

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

[play]

Fill

Fills elements of array with initial value.

type foo struct {
  bar string
}

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

initializedSlice := lo.Fill([]foo{foo{"a"}, foo{"a"}}, foo{"b"})
// []foo{foo{"b"}, foo{"b"}}

[play]

Repeat

Builds a slice with N copies of initial value.

type foo struct {
  bar string
}

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

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

[play]

RepeatBy

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

slice := lo.RepeatBy(0, func (i int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(int64(math.Pow(float64(i), 2)), 10)
})
// []string{}

slice := lo.RepeatBy(5, func(i int) string {
    return strconv.FormatInt(int64(math.Pow(float64(i), 2)), 10)
})
// []string{"0", "1", "4", "9", "16"}

[play]

KeyBy

Transforms a slice or an array of structs to a map based on a pivot callback.

m := lo.KeyBy([]string{"a", "aa", "aaa"}, func(str string) int {
    return len(str)
})
// 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(characters, func(char Character) string {
    return string(rune(char.code))
})
//map[a:{dir:left code:97} d:{dir:right code:100}]

[play]

Associate (alias: SliceToMap)

Returns a map containing key-value pairs provided by transform function applied to elements of the given slice. If any of two pairs would have the same key the last one gets added to the map.

The order of keys in returned map is not specified and is not guaranteed to be the same from the original array.

in := []*foo{{baz: "apple", bar: 1}, {baz: "banana", bar: 2}}

aMap := lo.Associate(in, func (f *foo) (string, int) {
    return f.baz, f.bar

// []string{"aaa", "aa", "aa"}

[play]

DropRightWhile

Drop elements from the end of a slice or array while the predicate returns true.

l := lo.DropRightWhile([]string{"a", "aa", "aaa", "aa", "aa"}, func(val string) bool {
    return len(val) <= 2
})
// []string{"a", "aa", "aaa"}

[play]

    return x%2 == 0
})
// []int{1, 3}

[play]

Count

isEven := func(v int) bool {
    return v%2==0
}

lo.CountValuesBy([]int{}, isEven)
// map[bool]int{}

lo.CountValuesBy([]int{1, 2}, isEven)
// map[bool]int{false: 1, true: 1}

ChannelDispatcher

Distributes messages from input channels into N child channels. Close events are propagated to children.

Underlying channels can have a fixed buffer capacity or be unbuffered when cap is 0.

ch := make(chan int, 42)
for i := 0; i <= 10; i++ {
    ch <- i
}

children := lo.ChannelDispatcher(ch, 5, 10, DispatchingStrategyRoundRobin[int])

consumer := func(c <-chan int) {
    for {
        msg, ok := <-c
        if !ok {
            println("closed")

            break
        }

        println(msg)
    }
}

for i := range children {
    go consumer(children[i])
}

Many distributions strategies are available:

Some strategies bring fallback, in order to favor non-blocking behaviors. See implementations.

For custom strategies, just implement the lo.DispatchingStrategy prototype:

type DispatchingStrategy[T any] func(message T, messageIndex uint64, channels []<-chan T) int

Eg:

type Message struct {
    TenantID uuid.UUID
}

func hash(id uuid.UUID) int {
    h := fnv.New32a()
    h.Write([]byte(id.String()))
    return int(h.Sum32())
}

// Routes messages per TenantID.
customStrategy := func(message string, messageIndex uint64, channels []<-chan string) int {
    destination := hash(message) % len(channels)

    // check if channel is full
    if len(channels[destination]) < cap(channels[destination]) {
        return destination
    }

    // fallback when child channel is full
    return utils.DispatchingStrategyRoundRobin(message, uint64(destination), channels)
}

children := lo.ChannelDispatcher(ch, 5, 10, customStrategy)
...

}
// prints 1, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5

ChannelToSlice

generator := func(yield func(int)) {
    yield(1)
    yield(2)
    yield(3)

for v := range lo.Generator(2, generator) {
    println(v)
}
// prints 1, then 2, then 3

Buffer

// []int{1, 2, 3}, 3, 0s, true
items2, length2, duration2, ok2 := lo.Buffer(ch, 3)
// []int{4, 5}, 2, 0s, false

        yield(i)
        time.Sleep(35*time.Millisecond)
    }
}

ch := lo.Generator(0, generator)

items1, length1, duration1, ok1 := lo.BufferWithTimeout(ch, 3, 100*time.Millisecond)
// []int{1, 2}, 2, 100ms, true
items2, length2, duration2, ok2 := lo.BufferWithTimeout(ch, 3, 100*time.Millisecond)

    // wait up to 1 second
    items, length, _, ok := lo.BufferWithTimeout(ch, 1000, 1*time.Second)

    // do batching stuff

    if !ok {

result, ok := lo.Coalesce(0, 1, 2, 3)
// 1 true

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

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

Partial

Returns new function that, when called, has its first argument set to the provided value.

add := func(x, y int) int { return x + y }
f := lo.Partial(add, 5)

f(10)
// 15

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 successful response is returned.

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

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

// 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.

[play]

AttemptWithDelay

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

When first argument is less than 1, the function runs until a successful 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.

[play]

AttemptWhile

Invokes a function N times until it returns valid output. Returning either the caught error or nil, and along with a bool value to identifying whether it needs invoke function continuously. It will terminate the invoke immediately if second bool value is returned with falsy value.

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

count1, err1 := lo.AttemptWhile(5, func(i int) (error, bool) {
    err := doMockedHTTPRequest(i)
    if err != nil {
        if errors.Is(err, ErrBadRequest) { // lets assume ErrBadRequest is a critical error that needs to terminate the invoke
            return err, false // flag the second return value as false to terminate the invoke
        }

        return err, true

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()

[play]

DebounceBy

NewDebounceBy creates a debounced instance for each distinct key, that delays invoking functions given until after wait milliseconds have elapsed, until cancel is called.

f := func(key string, count int) {
    println(key + ": Called once after 100ms when debounce stopped invoking!")
}

debounce, cancel := lo.NewDebounceBy(100 * time.Millisecond, f)
for j := 0; j < 10; j++ {
    debounce("first key")
    debounce("second key")
}

time.Sleep(1 * time.Second)
cancel("first key")
cancel("second key")

[play]

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"})

Transaction

Implements a Saga pattern.

transaction := NewTransaction[int]().
    Then(
        func(state int) (int, error) {
            fmt.Println("step 1")
            return state + 10, nil
        },
        func(state int) int {
            fmt.Println("rollback 1")
            return state - 10
        },
    ).
    Then(
        func(state int) (int, error) {
            fmt.Println("step 2")
            return state + 15, nil
        },
        func(state int) int {
            fmt.Println("rollback 2")
            return state - 15
        },
    ).
    Then(
        func(state int) (int, error) {
            fmt.Println("step 3")

            if true {
                return state, fmt.Errorf("error")
            }

            return state + 42, nil
        },
        func(state int) int {
            fmt.Println("rollback 3")
            return state - 42
        },
    )

_, _ = transaction.Process(-5)

// Output:
// step 1
// step 2
// step 3
// rollback 2
// rollback 1

Validate

Helper function that creates an error when a condition is not met.

slice := []string{"a"}
val := lo.Validate(len(slice) == 0, "Slice should be empty but contains %v", slice)
// error("Slice should be empty but contains [a]")

slice := []string{}
val := lo.Validate(len(slice) == 0, "Slice should be empty but contains %v", slice)
// nil

[play]

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

[play]

Must{0->6}

Must* has the same behavior as 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))

You can give context to the panic message by adding some printf-like arguments.

val, ok := lo.Find(myString, func(i string) bool {
    return i == requiredChar
})
lo.Must0(ok, "'%s' must always contain '%s'", myString, requiredChar)

list := []int{0, 1, 2}
item := 5
lo.Must0(lo.Contains[int](list, item), "'%s' must always contain '%s'", list, item)
...

[play]

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

[play]

Try{0->6}

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

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

[play]

TryOr

Calls the function and return a default value in case of error and on panic.

str, ok := lo.TryOr(func() (string, error) {
    panic("error")
    return "hello", nil
}, "world")
// world
// false

str, ok := lo.TryOr(func() error {
    return "hello", nil
}, "world")
// hello
// true

str, ok := lo.TryOr(func() error {
    return "hello", fmt.Errorf("error")
}, "world")
// world
// false

[play]

TryOr{0->6}

The same behavior than TryOr, but callback returns X variables.

str, nbr, ok := lo.TryOr2(func() (string, int, error) {
    panic("error")
    return "hello", 42, nil
}, "world", 21)
// world
// 21
// false

[play]

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

[play]

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

[play]

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

[play]

ErrorsAs

A shortcut for:

err := doSomething()

var rateLimitErr *RateLimitError
if ok := errors.As(err, &rateLimitErr); ok {
    // retry later
}

1 line lo helper:

err := doSomething()

if rateLimitErr, ok := lo.ErrorsAs[*RateLimitError](err); ok {
    // retry later
}

[play]

🛩 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 reflection-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 useful for long-running callbacks, such as i/o bound processing.
  • for beats other implementations for memory and CPU.
