Friendly Go

A small library with functions I use all the time in my projects.

Also useful if you are starting to learn Go and are annoyed by implementing basic things in your project all the time.

Install and Use

In your project directory, type

go get github.com/alexcoder04/friendly

And then, in your code

package ...

import (
    ...
    "github.com/alexcoder04/friendly"
)

...
if friendly.IsDir(path) {
    friendly.CompressFolder(path, destination)
}
...
