7 Open Source Projects You Should Know - Go Edition ✔️

Overview

Hi everyone 👋🏼​
In this article, I'm going to look at seven OSS repository that you should know written in Go, interesting projects that caught my attention and that I want to share.
Let's start 🤙🏼​


1. gomponents

gomponents are HTML components written in pure Go. They render to HTML 5, and make it easy for you to build reusable components. So you can focus on building your app instead of learning yet another templating language, amazing!💎

Features

Check out www.gomponents.com for an introduction.

  • Build reusable HTML components
  • Write declarative HTML 5 in Go without all the strings, so you get
    • Type safety from the compiler
    • Auto-completion from the IDE
    • Easy debugging with the standard Go debugger
    • Automatic formatting with gofmt/goimports
  • Simple API that's easy to learn and use (you know most already if you know HTML)
  • Useful helpers like
    • Text and…

2. lo

Do you know Lodash?
Okay,this library is similar but built for the Go projects!
It may look like Lodash in some aspects, try it!🧨

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.

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