substring Build Status GoDoc GitHub release

Simple and composable alternative to regexp package for fast substring searches.

Installation

The recommended way to install substring

go get -t gopkg.in/toqueteos/substring.v1

The -t flag is for fetching gocheck, required for tests and benchmarks.

Examples

A basic example with two matchers:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "regexp"

    "gopkg.in/toqueteos/substring.v1"
)

func main() {
    m1 := substring.After("assets/", substring.Or(
        substring.Has("jquery"),
        substring.Has("angular"),
        substring.Suffixes(".js", ".css", ".html"),
    ))
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("assets/angular/foo/bar")) //Prints: true
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("assets/js/file.js"))      //Prints: true
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("assets/style/bar.css"))   //Prints: true
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("assets/foo/bar.html"))    //Prints: false
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("assets/js/qux.json"))     //Prints: false
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("core/file.html"))         //Prints: false
    fmt.Println(m1.Match("foobar/that.jsx"))        //Prints: false

    m2 := substring.After("vendor/", substring.Suffixes(".css", ".js", ".less"))

    fmt.Println(m2.Match("foo/vendor/bar/qux.css")) //Prints: true
    fmt.Println(m2.Match("foo/var/qux.less"))       //Prints: false

    re := regexp.MustCompile(`vendor\/.*\.(css|js|less)$`)
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("foo/vendor/bar/qux.css")) //Prints: true
    fmt.Println(re.MatchString("foo/var/qux.less"))       //Prints: false
}

How fast?

It may vary depending on your use case but 1~2 orders of magnitude faster than regexp is pretty common.

Test it out for yourself by running go test -check.b!
