SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Go lacks a comprehensive, type-safe functional toolkit for common collection transformations. This Skill provides a generics-based, immutable core with Map, Filter, Reduce, and more, enabling concise data processing without boilerplate.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Type-safe generic helpers for slices and maps (Map, Filter, Reduce, GroupBy, Chunk, Flatten, Uniq)
  • Immutable by default with zero-dependency core and optional sub-packages for concurrency and laziness
  • Interoperable with the Go standard library and easier composition across common data-processing tasks
  • Supports parallel (lop), mutable (lom), and lazy (loi) variants, plus experimental SIMD (exp/simd)
  • Rich API coverage including error variants and a broad ecosystem of utilities

Quick Start

Import the core package and start with lo.Map to transform a slice of structs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I reduce boilerplate when transforming slices and maps in Go?

Type-safe functional utilities for Go like Map, Filter, and Reduce reduce boilerplate for slices and maps. They enable expressive data transforms while preserving immutability and eliminating repetitive loop code.

What is the best way to perform immutable data processing in Go?

Immutable data processing in Go is best handled using a generics-based functional toolkit. It provides a core immutable package with zero dependencies, ensuring data transforms do not mutate original collections.

Can I use functional helpers for concurrent or lazy evaluation in Go?

Yes, functional helpers in Go support concurrent and lazy evaluation through optional sub-packages. These include parallel (lop), mutable (lom), and lazy (loi) variants for specialized data processing tasks.

Does this Go functional library require any external dependencies?

No, this Go functional library features a zero-dependency design in its core package. It interoperates seamlessly with the Go standard library while providing type-safe generic helpers.

How do I group or chunk slice elements in Go without writing custom loops?

You can group or chunk slice elements in Go using built-in functional utilities like GroupBy and Chunk. These generic helpers handle common collection patterns automatically, reducing manual loop boilerplate.

When should I use mutable variants instead of immutable transforms in Go?

You should use mutable variants (lom) instead of immutable transforms in Go when performance is critical and you need to modify collections in place. Immutable transforms are preferred for safer, predictable data processing.
