gloop is a Go utility library for convenient looping using Go's range-over-func feature.

Installation

Install gloop using the go get command:

go get -u github.com/alvii147/gloop

Note

Go version 1.23+ required as older versions don't offer the range-over-func feature.

Usage

Once installed, gloop can be imported and used directly in your project:

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/alvii147/gloop"
)

func main() {
	for seq := range gloop.Permutations(gloop.String("CAT"), 3) {
		perm := gloop.ToString(seq)
		fmt.Println(perm)
	}
}

This ranges over and outputs all permutations of CAT:

CAT
CTA
ACT
ATC
TCA
TAC

See more specific documentation and examples in the features section below.
