gopointer

Minimalistic pointer utility for go.

Why Gopointer?

Gopointer makes golang easier by taking the hassle out of defining intermediary variable for composite literal just so you can take it's address.

How to use

Import package as follows

import "github.com/nicklaros/gopointer"

For boolean pointer

result := gopointer.BoolPointer(true) // result type is *bool.

For float32 pointer

result := gopointer.Float32Pointer(99.99) // result type is *float32.

For float64 pointer

result := gopointer.Float64Pointer(99.99) // result type is *float64.

For int pointer

result := gopointer.IntPointer(99) // result type is *int.

For int8 pointer

result := gopointer.Int8Pointer(99) // result type is *int8.

For int16 pointer

result := gopointer.Int16Pointer(99) // result type is *int16.

For int32 pointer

result := gopointer.Int32Pointer(99) // result type is *int32.

For int64 pointer

result := gopointer.Int64Pointer(99) // result type is *int64.

For string pointer

result := gopointer.StringPointer("Hi, you can store me in a pointer.") // result type is *string.

For time pointer

import "time"

result := gopointer.TimePointer(time.Now()) // result type is *time

For uint pointer

result := gopointer.UintPointer(99) // result type is *uint.

For uint8 pointer

result := gopointer.Uint8Pointer(99) // result type is *uint8.

For uint16 pointer

result := gopointer.Uint16Pointer(99) // result type is *uint16.

For uint32 pointer

result := gopointer.Uint32Pointer(99) // result type is *uint32.

For uint64 pointer

result := gopointer.Uint64Pointer(99) // result type is *uint64.
