The go-helper project came to facilitate the use of validations, conversions, formatting in your go project with incredible flexibility and simple to use. Below we list some implemented features:
- No more using !=, ==, >, among others, start using better described functions for this.
- It is not necessary to use more len to check if it is empty or not, or greater than the same, just pass the values into intuitive functions.
- Use robust validation functions out of the box.
- Check all types of possible values in a simple and intuitive way.
- Check single or multiple values if they are empty, null, equal, etc. without having to write lines and lines of code.
- Easy rounding functions.
- Format and Convert functions for you to use in the best way in your projects, without having to write repetitive lines of code.
- Help us be the best and most complete golang utility library and help the community.
Use go get.
go get github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper
Then import the go-helper package into your own code.
import "github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"IMPORTANT: Always check the documentation in the structures and functions fields. For more details on the examples, visit All examples link
To check if the values are empty, just do as in the example below, remembering that we also accept values of any type, see:
package main
import (
"github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"
"log"
"time"
)
type exampleStruct struct {
Name string
BirthDate time.Time
Map map[string]any
}
func main() {
// empty validations
nStruct := exampleStruct{}
nString := " "
isEmpty := helper.IsEmpty(nStruct, nString)
log.Println("is empty?", isEmpty)
nString = "test name"
nStruct.Name = nString
isNotEmpty := helper.IsNotEmpty(&nStruct, nString)
log.Println("is not empty?", isNotEmpty)
//return B value if A value is empty
var a1 string
var b1 string
a1 = "a value is not empty"
result := helper.IfEmptyReturns(a1, b1)
log.Println("result not empty:", result)
//return value not empty
var a2 string
var b2 string
b2 = "b value is not empty"
result = helper.ReturnNonEmptyValue(a2, b2)
log.Println("result not empty:", result)
}Outputs:
is empty? true
is not empty? true
result not empty: a value is not empty
result not empty: b value is not empty

Validating “nil” values is simple, but be careful as only the types Pointer, Map, Chan, Interface and Slice can have a null value in go, see an example below:
package main
import (
"github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"
"log"
)
func main() {
var anyPointer *any
var anotherValue []any
isNil := helper.IsNil(anyPointer, anotherValue)
log.Println("is nil?", isNil)
anyPointer = helper.ConvertToPointer(any("value string"))
anotherValue = []any{12, "test"}
isNotNil := helper.IsNotNil(anyPointer, anotherValue)
log.Println("is not nil?", isNotNil)
//return B value if A value is nil
var a1 *string
var b1 string
b1 = "b value is not nil"
result1 := helper.IfNilReturns(a1, b1)
log.Println("result not nil:", result1)
//return value not nil
var a2 *string
var b2 *string
v2 := "a value is not nil"
a2 = &v2
result2 := helper.ReturnNonNilValue(a2, b2)
log.Println("result not nil:", result2)
}Outputs:
is nil? true
is not nil? true
result not nil: 0x14000223150
result not nil: 0x1400025d7f0

Checking equal is very simple, and works for any type and number of parameters entered, if it is Pointer, go-helper will obtain the real value for comparison, see one of the examples:
package main
import (
"github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"
"log"
)
func main() {
s1 := "value"
s2 := "value"
s3 := "value"
s4 := "value"
equals := helper.Equals(s1, s2, s3, s4)
log.Println("equals?", equals)
s1 = "value1"
notEquals := helper.IsNotEqualTo(s1, s2, s3, s4)
log.Println("not equals?", notEquals)
s1 = "VaLuE"
s2 = "VaLuE"
s3 = "VaLuE"
s4 = "VaLuE"
equals = helper.EqualsIgnoreCase(s1, s2, s3, s4)
log.Println("equals ignore case?", equals)
s1 = "value1"
notEquals = helper.IsNotEqualToIgnoreCase(s1, s2, s3, s4)
log.Println("not equals ignore case?", notEquals)
}Outputs:
equals? true
not equals? true
equals ignore case? true
not equals ignore case? true

With go-helper it is very simple to know the type of your variable, see the example:
package main
import (
"github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"
"log"
"time"
)
func main() {
var a any = map[string]any{}
// for negative use IsNotMap
isMap := helper.IsMapType(a)
log.Println("is map?", isMap)
a = "value1"
// for negative use IsNotString
isString := helper.IsStringType(a)
log.Println("is string?", isString)
a = 12
// for negative use IsNotIntType
isInt := helper.IsIntType(a)
log.Println("is int?", isInt)
a = true
// for negative use IsNotBoolType
isBool := helper.IsBoolType(a)
log.Println("is bool?", isBool)
a = time.Now()
// for negative use IsNotTimeType
isTime := helper.IsTimeType(a)
log.Println("is time?", isTime)
}Outputs:
is map? true
is string? true
is int? true
is bool? true
is time? true

With go-helper you don't need to worry about laborious and repetitive conversions to implement, see a powerful example of conversion from any type A to any type B:
package main
import (
"github.com/GabrielHCataldo/go-helper/helper"
"log"
"time"
)
type exampleStruct struct {
Name string
BirthDate time.Time
Map map[string]any
}
func main() {
var destStruct exampleStruct
// convert to struct to string base64, it's funny and sample
s64 := helper.SimpleConvertToBase64(initExampleStruct())
// convert string base64 to struct
err := helper.ConvertToDest(s64, &destStruct)
if helper.IsNotNil(err) {
log.Println("error convert base64 to struct:", err)
return
}
log.Println("converted base64 to struct:", destStruct)
var destMap map[string]any
// convert struct to simple map
err = helper.ConvertToDest(destStruct, &destMap)
if helper.IsNotNil(err) {
log.Println("error convert struct to map:", err)
return
}
log.Println("converted struct to map:", destMap)
}
func initExampleStruct() exampleStruct {
return exampleStruct{
Name: "Foo Bar",
BirthDate: time.Now(),
Map: map[string]any{"example": 1, "test": 2},
}
}Output:
[INFO 2024/01/17 09:09:00] main.go:26: converted base64 to struct: {"Name":"Foo Bar","BirthDate":"2024-01-17T09:08:49-03:00","Map":{"example":1,"test":2}}
[INFO 2024/01/17 09:09:00] main.go:34: converted struct to map: {"Name":"Foo Bar","BirthDate":"2024-01-17T09:08:49.038335-03:00","Map":{"example":1,"test":2}}
