bfmt

This is a package that wraps most functions present in the fmt package with a boolean conditional.

Introduction

If you ever needed to write code like this:

package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "flag"
)
var verbose bool
func main() {
    flag.BoolVar(&verbose, "v", false, "Enable verbose output")
    flag.Parse()
    if verbose {
        fmt.Println("I'm chatty...")
    }
}

Then you can now use go-bfmt to do this:

package main
import (
    "flag"
    "github.com/hgfischer/go-bfmt"
)
var verbose = bfmt.Bool(false)
func main() {
    flag.Var(&verbose, "v", "Enable verbose output")
    flag.Parse()
    verbose.Println("I'm chatty...")
}
