# Deprecated
With the release of [Go 1.18](https://go.dev/blog/go1.18), this entire package can thankfully be replaced with the functions demonstrated below:
``` go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"golang.org/x/exp/maps"
)
func ContainsKey[K, V comparable](m map[K]V, target V) bool {
for _, v := range m {
if v == target {
return true
}
}
return false
}
func main() {
m := map[string]int{
"a": 1,
"b": 2,
"c": 3,
}
fmt.Println(maps.Keys(m))
fmt.Println(maps.Values(m))
m2 := map[string]int{}
maps.Copy(m2, m)
fmt.Println(maps.Keys(m2))
fmt.Println(maps.Values(m2))
fmt.Println(ContainsKey(m2, 3))
fmt.Println(ContainsKey(m2, 4))
}
```
# Installation
``` bash
go get https://github.com/drgrib/maps
```
# Purpose
This package provides type-safe implementations of "missing" `map` functions:
- `ContainsKey` - check if map contains key
- `ContainsValue` - check if map contains value
- `GetKeys` - get keys of a map
- `GetValues` - get values of a map
- `Copy` - deep copy of a map
implemented with these patterns
- `ContainsKeyKV(map[ktype]vtype, k ktype) bool`
- `ContainsValueKV(map[ktype]vtype, v vtype) bool`
- `GetKeysKV(map[ktype]vtype) []ktype`
- `GetValuesKV(map[ktype]vtype) []vtype`
- `CopyKV(map[ktype]vtype) map[ktype]vtype`
where `K` and `V` are the key and value for maps combining Go basic types, including but not limited to:
- `StringString`
- `StringInt`
- `IntString`
- `StringFloat32`
- `StringFloat64`
- `Float32Bool`
- `Float64Bool`
- `IntBool`
- `StringBool`
# Generation
The package extends beyond implementing these functions only for these basic type pairings. You can generate them for any `map` type, including maps with keys and values that are pointers, custom types, or `interface{}`.
There are two ways to do this. One is by installing and calling the `mapper` tool, which can be considered a sort of sibling to the [`stringer` tool](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/stringer). The other is programmatically by using the `maptemplate` library called within the [source code of `mapper`](https://github.com/drgrib/maps/blob/master/cmd/mapper/mapper.go) and [the code used to generate](https://github.com/drgrib/maps/blob/master/generate/main.go) the basic type `map` functions in this package.
## `mapper`
`mapper` can be installed using
``` bash
go get -u github.com/drgrib/maps/cmd/mapper
```
Then used with the `go generate` like this:
``` go
//go:generate mapper -types string:CustomType
```
Or directly on the commandline with the same command:
``` bash
mapper -types string:CustomType
```
Which will generate the file `map_string_customtype.go` that infers its `package` from surrounding `.go` files or the current folder name if no other files are found:
``` go
package maps
func ContainsKeyStringCustomType(m map[string]CustomType, k string) bool {
_, ok := m[k]
return ok
}
func ContainsValueStringCustomType(m map[string]CustomType, v CustomType) bool {
for _, mValue := range m {
if mValue == v {
return true
}
}
return false
}
func GetKeysStringCustomType(m map[string]CustomType) []string {
keys := []string{}
for k, _ := range m {
keys = append(keys, k)
}
return keys
}
func GetValuesStringCustomType(m map[string]CustomType) []CustomType {
values := []CustomType{}
for _, v := range m {
values = append(values, v)
}
return values
}
func CopyStringCustomType(m map[string]CustomType) map[string]CustomType {
copyMap := map[string]CustomType{}
for k, v := range m {
copyMap[k] = v
}
return copyMap
}
```
# About Generics
If generics are implemented for Go 2.0, these functions can be covered by a single file, without the need for the `mapper` tool and its underlying generation packages. Until then, there is this package.
