Overview

Package typeutil contains a collection of type-related utility functions.

• func Decode[T any](msg string, data T) error

• func IsNil[T any](v T) bool
• func IsZero[T any](v T) bool
• func Serialize[T any](data T) (string, error)

Functions

func Decode

func Decode[T any](msg string, data T) error

Decode decodes a message encoded with the Encode function to the provided data object. The value underlying data must be a pointer to the correct type for the next data item received.

func Encode

func Encode[T any](data T) (string, error)

Encode encodes and serialize the input data to a gob/base64 string.

func IsNil

func IsNil[T any](v T) bool

IsNil returns true if the input value is nil.

func IsZero

func IsZero[T any](v T) bool

IsZero returns true if the input value is equal to the zero instance (e.g. empty string, 0 int, nil pointer).

func Serialize

func Serialize[T any](data T) (string, error)

Serialize encodes the input data to a string that can be used for object comparison (json/base64).
