Highly opinionated lib that contains utility functions.
- req/: HTTP request utility
- res/: HTTP response utility
- ptr/: Conversion of object from and to pointer values (one-liners without nil checks)
- auth/: Passing tokens across app layers with
context.Context
Some verbose operations in Golang can distract and take one's mind off the business logic and to solve this, I create util functions to pkg/ to reduce repetition. This was okay, until I had to work on many HTTP projects.
I have created this package to reduce repetitive copying of my pkg/ helper functions from project to project.
- I've named the package
lordvidex/xbecause many of the functionalities that are either upgrades or that the Go (Golang) maintainers wish were in the standard library are typically placed in the golang.org/x package. - Package name
lordvidex/xis relatively short, thereby easy to remember and import
err := req.I().Will().Bind(r, &v).Validate(v).Err()- Functions should be designed in a way that it feels as natural as speaking English language.
- Functions should reduce boilerplate code required to parse and validate JSON.
- Use interfaces where necessary for
req/ - More flexible response struct in
res/ - Add more functions that are often repeated.
