golang-set

The missing generic set collection for the Go language. Until Go has sets built-in...use this.

Update 3/5/2023

  • Packaged version: 2.2.0 release includes a refactor to minimize pointer indirection, better method documentation standards and a few constructor convenience methods to increase ergonomics when appending items Append or creating a new set from an exist Map.
  • supports new generic syntax
  • Go 1.18.0 or higher
  • Workflow tested on Go 1.20

With Generics

Coming from Python one of the things I miss is the superbly wonderful set collection. This is my attempt to mimic the primary features of the set collection from Python. You can of course argue that there is no need for a set in Go, otherwise the creators would have added one to the standard library. To those I say simply ignore this repository and carry-on and to the rest that find this useful please contribute in helping me make it better by contributing with suggestions or PRs.

Install

Use go get to install this package.

Usage

The code below demonstrates how a Set collection can better manage data and actually minimize boilerplate and needless loops in code. This package now fully supports generic syntax so you are now able to instantiate a collection for any comparable type object.

What is considered comparable in Go?

  • Booleans, integers, strings, floats or basically primitive types.
  • Pointers
  • Arrays
  • Structs if all of their fields are also comparable independently

Using this library is as simple as creating either a threadsafe or non-threadsafe set and providing a comparable type for instantiation of the collection.

// Syntax example, doesn't compile.
mySet := mapset.NewSet[T]() // where T is some concrete comparable type.

// Therefore this code creates an int set
mySet := mapset.NewSet[int]()

// Or perhaps you want a string set
mySet := mapset.NewSet[string]()

type myStruct struct {
  name string
  age uint8
}

// Alternatively a set of structs
mySet := mapset.NewSet[myStruct]()

// Lastly a set that can hold anything using the any or empty interface keyword: interface{}. This is effectively removes type safety.
mySet := mapset.NewSet[any]()

Comprehensive Example

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  mapset "github.com/deckarep/golang-set/v2"
)

func main() {
  // Create a string-based set of required classes.
  required := mapset.NewSet[string]()
  required.Add("cooking")
  required.Add("english")
  required.Add("math")
  required.Add("biology")

  // Create a string-based set of science classes.
  sciences := mapset.NewSet[string]()
  sciences.Add("biology")
  sciences.Add("chemistry")
  
  // Create a string-based set of electives.
  electives := mapset.NewSet[string]()
  electives.Add("welding")
  electives.Add("music")
  electives.Add("automotive")

  // Create a string-based set of bonus programming classes.
  bonus := mapset.NewSet[string]()
  bonus.Add("beginner go")
  bonus.Add("python for dummies")
}

Create a set of all unique classes. Sets will automatically deduplicate the same data.

  all := required
    .Union(sciences)
    .Union(electives)
    .Union(bonus)
  
  fmt.Println(all)

Output:

Set{cooking, english, math, chemistry, welding, biology, music, automotive, beginner go, python for dummies}

Is cooking considered a science class?

result := sciences.Contains("cooking")
fmt.Println(result)

Output:

false

Show me all classes that are not science classes, since I don't enjoy science.

notScience := all.Difference(sciences)
fmt.Println(notScience)
Set{ music, automotive, beginner go, python for dummies, cooking, english, math, welding }

Which science classes are also required classes?

reqScience := sciences.Intersect(required)

Output:

Set{biology}

How many bonus classes do you offer?

fmt.Println(bonus.Cardinality())

Output:

2

Documentation

Overview

Package mapset implements a simple and set collection. Items stored within it are unordered and unique. It supports typical set operations: membership testing, intersection, union, difference, symmetric difference and cloning.

Package mapset provides two implementations of the Set interface. The default implementation is safe for concurrent access, but a non-thread-safe implementation is also provided for programs that can benefit from the slight speed improvement and that can enforce mutual exclusion through other means.

Functions

func Sorted added in v2.5.0

func Sorted[E cmp.Ordered](set Set[E]) []E

Sorted returns a sorted slice of a set of any ordered type in ascending order. When sorting floating-point numbers, NaNs are ordered before other values.

Types

type Iterator

type Iterator[T comparable] struct {
	C <-chan T
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Iterator defines an iterator over a Set, its C channel can be used to range over the Set's elements.

func (*Iterator[T]) Stop

func (i *Iterator[T]) Stop()

Stop stops the Iterator, no further elements will be received on C, C will be closed.

type Set

type Set[T comparable] interface {
	// Add adds an element to the set. Returns whether
	// the item was added.
	Add(val T) bool

	// Append multiple elements to the set. Returns
	// the number of elements added.
	Append(val ...T) int

	// Cardinality returns the number of elements in the set.
	Cardinality() int

	// Clear removes all elements from the set, leaving
	// the empty set.

	// implementation, duplicating all keys.

	// String provides a convenient string representation
	// of the current state of the set.
	String() string

	// SymmetricDifference returns a new set with all elements which are
	// in either this set or the other set but not in both.
	//
	// Note that the argument to SymmetricDifference
	// must be of the same type as the receiver
	// of the method. Otherwise, SymmetricDifference
	// will panic.
	SymmetricDifference(other Set[T]) Set[T]

	// Union returns a new set with all elements in both sets.
	//
	// Note that the argument to Union must be of the
	// same type as the receiver of the method.
	// Otherwise, Union will panic.
