ABool :bulb:

Go Report Card GoDoc

Atomic Boolean library for Go, optimized for performance yet simple to use.

Use this for cleaner code.

Usage

import "github.com/tevino/abool"

cond := abool.New()  // default to false

cond.Set()                 // Set to true
cond.IsSet()               // Returns true
cond.UnSet()               // Set to false
cond.SetTo(true)           // Set to whatever you want
cond.SetToIf(false, true)  // Set to true if it is false, returns false(not set)


// embedding
type Foo struct {
    cond *abool.AtomicBool  // always use pointer to avoid copy
}
