koron-go/inflater

The package inflater provides an Inflater interface that inflates a value into multiple values and some operations to combine them Inflaters.

Description

The first idea of the inflater was very simple: to perform an algorithm that predicts and expands multiple strings from a single input string using a single interface combination. Therefore, the first Inflate function was defined as func Inflate(s string) <-chan string

Combining this with the rangefunc added in Go 1.23 and using generics instead of string, we have the following Inflater interface. This is intended to inflate multiple values based on a seed.

type Inflater[V any] interface {
	Inflate(seed V) iter.Seq[V]
}

The package inflater provides several special Inflater types.

• None - An Inflater that consumes all input and produces no output, like a black hole.
• Keep - An Inflater that outputs the input as is.
• Slice - An Inflater that ignores input and outputs all elements of the slice.
• Map - An Inflater that converts input with a function and outputs it.
• Filter - An Inflater that judges and filters input with a function.

It also provides the ability to combine multiple Inflater objects to create another Inflater object.

• Parallel - Pass the input to multiple Inflaters and concatenate their outputs into a single iter.Seq.
• Serial - Inflate the input with the first Inflater, inflate the output of that with the next Inflater, and repeat that to get the output iter.Seq

In addition, we provide two Inflaters that perform basic operations on strings.

• Prefix - An Inflater that outputs multiple values with an each prefix string attached to the input string.
• Suffix - An Inflater that outputs multiple values with an each suffix string attached to the input string.
