GenericSafeMap

GenericSafeMap is a Go library providing a thread-safe map implementation that supports generics, available from Go version 1.18 onwards. This library provides type-safe access to the underlying data structure using generics to ensure that the data stored and retrieved are of the same type.

Installation

To use this library, you can install it using the go get command:

go get github.com/MSSkowron/genericsafemap

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the GenericSafeMap library:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/MSSkowron/genericsafemap"
)

func main() {
    m := genericsafemap.New[string, int]()
    m.Put("one", 1)
    m.Put("two", 2)

    val, ok := m.Get("one")
    if !ok {
        fmt.Println("Key not found")
    } else {
        fmt.Println(val)
    }

    m.Remove("one")

    val, ok = m.Get("one")
    if !ok {
        fmt.Println("Key not found")
    } else {
        fmt.Println(val)
    }
}

In the above example, we create a new GenericSafeMap instance with string keys and int values, add two key-value pairs to the map, retrieve the value for key "one", remove the key "one", and then attempt to retrieve the value for "one" again.
