Introduction

🧠 What is Gouse?

• Gouse is a modern essentials Golang utility package delivering consistency, modularity, performance, and extras presets.
• Built on top of Go language, and others Go open-source packages.
• Inspired by Lodash so Javascript user-friendly syntax.
• Lightweight package: easy to use, chainable, extendable, available.
• Gouse provides a wide variety of available methods, taking the hassle out of working with any type requests. So you can pick the one of them that fit your project demands.
• Powerful package of built-in functions provide comprehensive, and reliable solutions for any project size and compatible with all OS platforms.
• Open-source, free to use, and contribute.
• Offering over 400 utility functions across more than 25 domains. It serves as a toolkit for Go developers, providing ready-to-use solutions for common programming needs.

✨ Motivation

• Go has emerged as a server language, but it still doesn't have complete and consistent packages available to support coding development.
• Developers must write by hand or search manually. That wastes time and even causes many compatibility conflicts.
• Must update each dependent package every time when project update.
• Unexpected errors can easily arise during execution.
• Performance is not optimized.
• The number of lines of code is very long that not easy to read and understand.
• Code logic may not be consistent, making it difficult to maintain and scale.
• Hard to make sure the programs are executed the same across all environments.
• Lack of coherent learning materials and examples.
• And more...

👉 To address that need, Gouse was created as a powerful presets toolkit for Go developers, a collection of built-in functions and best practices that provide comprehensive, powerful, and reliable solutions. Trusted to build services, software platforms, APIs, and web applications.

🎯 Why to use

Thanks to Gouse, you can:

• Set up and scale projects rapidly.
• No config - import directly as utility functions.
• Handle complex logic use-cases such as database connection, build APIs, error handling, log management...
• Optimize performance and increase productivity.
• Build easily consistent systems with available functions.
• Avoid writing repetitive code and a unified code style.
• Reduce the number of lines of code and make it easier to read, understand, and maintain.
• Avoid compatibility conflicts and unexpected errors.
• Works smoothly in any environment and platform.
• Easy to learn and use, suitable for beginners and experts.
• Compatible with all frameworks and libraries.
• Referencing examples with comprehensive documentation
• And more...

🗝️ Key Philosophy

Gouse is built with several core design principles in mind:

• User-Friendly & Lightweight: Gouse features an intuitive JavaScript syntax with no setup required. Import utility functions directly and enjoy a flexible, chainable package available in various builds and formats.
• Powerful & Versatile: Access a wide range of methods for arrays, numbers, objects, and strings. Comprehensive documentation and examples make implementation smooth and efficient.
• Scalable & Efficient: Ideal for projects of any size, Gouse supports rapid setup, complex logic handling, and performance optimization across all operating systems.
• Consistent & Maintainable: Reduce repetitive code and ensure a unified style. Gouse makes your code cleaner, easier to maintain, and minimizes compatibility issues or unexpected errors.

The library follows a modular architecture where related functions are grouped together, making it easy to find and use specific utilities while maintaining a coherent API surface.
