A 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.

Warning: the v1 version is deprecated, please use friendly/v2 instead.

In your project directory, type

go get github.com/alexcoder04/friendly/v2
# or `go get github.com/alexcoder04/friendly/v2/...` depending on the sub-package you need

And then, in your code

package ...

import (
    ...
    "github.com/alexcoder04/friendly/v2"
    "github.com/alexcoder04/friendly/v2/ffiles"
)

...
folder, _ := friendly.Input()
if ffiles.IsDir(folder) {
    friendly.CompressFolder(folder, destination)
}
...

The documentation can be found on pkg.go.dev:

• alexcoder04/friendly/v2
• alexcoder04/friendly/v2/ffiles
• alexcoder04/friendly/v2/flinux

If you use this library and are missing some feature - don't hesitate to open a pull request or an issue, I'm always looking forward to improve this project!
