Hashtable in Go

Very simple, idiomatic and thread-safe implementation of Hashtables for Golang using Seperate chaining.

Installation

❯ go get -u github.com/HotPotatoC/hashtable

Usage

Set a value

ht := hashtable.New()

ht.Set("user", "John")

Get a value

ht.Get("user") // John

Remove a value

ht.Remove("user") // 1

Iterate through the table using Iter()

for entry := range ht.Iter() {
	fmt.Printf("key: %s | value: %v\n", entry.Key, entry.Value)
}

Methods

// Set inserts a new key-value pair item into the hash table
Set(k string, v interface{})
// Get returns the value of the given key
// and a boolean which returns false if the
// lookup result is nil otherwise true
Get(k string) (interface{}, bool)
// Remove deletes an item by the given key
// and returns the deleted count
Remove(k string) int
// Iter returns an iterator for the hashtable
Iter() <-chan *Entry
// Exist returns true if an item with the given key exists in the table
// otherwise returns false
Exist(k string) bool
// Len represents the size of the hash table
Len() int
