# Go Type-Agnostic Collection Partitioning

Type-agnostic partitioning for anything that can be indexed in Go - slices, arrays,`string`s. Inspired by Guava's `Lists.partition`. This tiny library alleviates the issue of partitioning collections with wide ranging types - Go lacks generics - by returning consecutive index ranges that can be used on any indexable object.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
...
|
|
// bigList can be any type
|
|
for idxRange := range gopart.Partition(len(bigList), partitionSize) {
|
|
bulkOperation(bigList[idxRange.Low:idxRange.High])
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
```
|
|

|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
# install the library:
|
|
go get github.com/meirf/gopart
|
|
|
|
// use in your .go code:
|
|
import (
|
|
"github.com/meirf/gopart"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
## Implementation
|
|
|
|
The partitioning is done with a separate goroutine that passes the index ranges to a channel. This requires the use of a for...range loop, but adds concurrency and lowers memory usage (no slice of index ranges is stored anywhere).
