# What is SprigX?

SprigX are extensions to [the `sprig`
library](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/) ([Go
docs](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Masterminds/sprig/v3)).

They provide functions that offer more enriched use cases and
domain-specific data.

If you are reading this README on the Go Module Directory documentation
(<https://pkg.go.dev/r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx>) or the directory
landing page
(<https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_goutils/src/branch/master/tplx/sprigx>),
it may not render correctly.

Be sure to view it at properly via [the AsciiDoc
rendering](https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_goutils/src/branch/master/tplx/sprigx/README.adoc)
or by downloading and viewing the [HTML
version](https://git.r00t2.io/r00t2/go_goutils/raw/branch/master/tplx/sprigx/README.html).

# How do I Use SprigX?

The same way you would `sprig`!

    package main

    import (
        htmlTplLib "html/template"
        txtTplLib "text/template"

        "r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx"
    )

    var (
        txtTpl *txtTplLib.Template = txtTplLib.
            New("").
            Funcs(
                sprigx.TxtFuncMap(),
            )
        htmlTpl *htmlTplLib.Template = htmlTplLib.
            New("").
            Funcs(
                sprigx.HtmlFuncMap(),
            )
    )

They can even be combined/used together.

    package main

    import (
        "text/template"

        "github.com/Masterminds/sprig/v3"
        "r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx"
    )

    var txtTpl *template.Template = template.
            New("").
            Funcs(
                sprigx.TxtFuncMap(),
            ).
            Funcs(
                sprig.TxtFuncMap(),
            )
    // Or:
    /*
    var txtTpl *template.Template = template.
            New("").
            Funcs(
                sprig.TxtFuncMap(),
            ).
            Funcs(
                sprigx.TxtFuncMap(),
            )
     */

If a `<template>.FuncMap` is added via `.Funcs()` **after** template
parsing, it will override any functions of the same name of a
`<template>.FuncMap` **before** parsing.

For example, if both `sprig` and `sprigx` provide a function `foo`:

this will use `foo` from `sprigx`

    package main

    import (
        "text/template"

        "github.com/Masterminds/sprig/v3"
        "r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx"
    )

    const (
        myTpl string = `{{ "This is an example template string." | foo }}`
    )

    var (
        tpl *template.Template = template.Must(
                        template.
                            New("").
                            Funcs(sprig.TxtFuncMap()).
                            Parse(myTpl),
                    ).
                    Funcs(sprigx.TxtFuncMap())
    )

whereas this will use `foo` from `sprig`

    package main

    import (
        "text/template"

        "github.com/Masterminds/sprig/v3"
        "r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx"
    )

    const (
        myTpl string = `{{ "This is an example template string." | foo }}`
    )

    var (
        tpl *template.Template = template.Must(
                        template.
                            New("").
                            Funcs(sprigx.TxtFuncMap()).
                            Parse(myTpl),
                        ).
                        Funcs(sprig.TxtFuncMap())
    )

and a function can even be explicitly overridden.

This would override a function `foo` and `foo2` in `sprigx` from `foo`
and `foo2` from `sprig`, but leave all other `sprig` functions
untouched.

    package main

    import (
        "text/template"

        "github.com/Masterminds/sprig/v3"
        "r00t2.io/goutils/tplx/sprigx"
    )

    const (
        myTpl string = `{{ "This is an example template string." | foo }}`
    )

    var (
        overrideFuncs template.FuncMap = sprig.TxtFuncMap()
        tpl *template.Template = template.Must(
                        template.
                            New("").
                            Funcs(sprigx.TxtFuncMap()).
                            Parse(myTpl),
                        ).
                        Funcs(
                            template.FuncMap(
                                map[string]any{
                                    "foo": overrideFuncs["foo"],
                                    "foo2": overrideFuncs["foo2"],
                                },
                            ),
                        )
    )

# Functions

Expect this list to grow over time, and potentially more frequently than
the `sprigx` functions.

## Operating System

### `osHostname`

`osHostname` simply wraps and returns the result of calling
[`os.Hostname`](https://pkg.go.dev/os#Hostname).

As such, it comes with the same caveats - it’s possible for it to error,
and it isn’t guaranteed to be an FQDN — it will be precisely/exactly
whatever the kernel’s hostname is set as.

## System/Platform/Architecture

### `sysArch`

Returns the [`runtime.GOARCH`](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#GOARCH)
constant.

### `sysNumCpu`

Returns the value from
[`runtime.NumCPU`](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#NumCPU).

### `sysOsName`

Returns the [`runtime.GOOS`](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime#GOOS) constant.

### `sysRuntime`

This function returns a `map[string]string` of various information from
the [`runtime` stdlib library](https://pkg.go.dev/runtime).

Specifically, the following are returned.

The value type is a direct link to the `runtime` documentation providing
more detail about the associated value.

Because all values are mapped as strings, they can be converted back to
their native type via e.g. the [Sprig conversion
functions](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/conversion.html) if
necessary.

As a convenience, some of these values also have their own dedicated

## Paths

### Generic

These operate similar to [the `path` stdlib
library](https://pkg.go.dev/path) and use a fixed `/` path separator.

#### `pathJoin`

`pathJoin` operates **exactly** like
[`path.Join`](https://pkg.go.dev/path#Join) in stdlib.

If you are joining paths in a pipeline, you almost assuredly want
[](#fn_path_gnrc_ppj) or [](#fn_path_gnrc_pspj) instead unless you are
explicitly **appending** a pipeline result to a path.

    {{- pathJoin "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- pathJoin "/" "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- pathJoin "/a/b" "c" }}

renders as:

    a/b/c
    /a/b/c
    /a/b/c

#### `pathPipeJoin`

`pathPipeJoin` operates like [](#fn_path_gnrc_pj) with one deviation:
the root/base path is expected to be **last** in the arguments.

This makes it much more suitable for use in template pipelines, as the
previous value in a pipeline is passed in as the last element to the
next pipe function.

    {{- $myBase := "/a" -}}
    {{- pathPipeJoin "b" "c" "a" }}
    {{- pathPipeJoin "a" "b" "c" "/" }}
    {{- $myBase | pathPipeJoin "b" "c" }}

renders as:

    a/b/c
    /a/b/c
    /a/b/c

#### `pathSliceJoin`

`pathSliceJoin` joins a slice of path segment strings (`[]string`)
instead of a variadic sequence of strings.

The `splitList` function shown below is from the [`sprig` string slice
functions](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/string_slice.html).

    {{- $myList := "a,b,c" | splitList "," -}}
    {{- $myList | pathSliceJoin }}
    {{- ("a,b,c" | splitList ",") | pathSliceJoin }}
    {{- ("/,a,b,c" | splitList ",") | pathSliceJoin }}

renders as:

    a/b/c
    a/b/c
    /a/b/c

#### `pathSlicePipeJoin`

`pathSlicePipeJoin` operates like [](#fn_path_gnrc_ppj) in that it is
suitable for pipeline use in which the root/base path is passed in from
the pipeline, but it is like [](#fn_path_gnrc_psj) in that it then also
accepts a slice of path segments (`[]string`) to append to that base
path.

The `splitList` function shown below is from the [`sprig` string slice
functions](https://masterminds.github.io/sprig/string_slice.html).

    {{- $myBase := "/a" -}}
    {{- $myList := "b,c,d" | splitList "." -}}
    {{- pathSlicePipeJoin $myList $myBase }}
    {{- $myBase | pathSlicePipeJoin $myList }}

renders as:

    /a/b/c
    /a/b/c

#### `pathSubJoin`

`pathSubJoin` operates like [](#fn_path_gnrc_pj) but it expects an
explicit root/base path.

The pipeline-friendly equivalent of this is [](#fn_path_gnrc_ppj).

    {{- pathSubJoin "/a/b" "c" }}
    {{- pathSubJoin "/" "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- "c" | pathSubJoin "/" "a" "b" }}

renders as:

    /a/b/c
    /a/b/c
    /a/b/c

### OS/Platform-Tailored

These operate similar to [the `path/filepath` stdlib
library](https://pkg.go.dev/path/filepath), and use the OS-specific
[`os.PathSeparator`](https://pkg.go.dev/os#PathSeparator).

Take special note of the oddness around specifying Windows paths and
drive letters in e.g. [](#fn_path_os_pj)!

It is recommended to make use of [](#fn_sys_os) to conditionally format
path bases/roots if needed.

#### `osPathJoin`

`osPathJoin` operates **exactly** like
[`path/filepath.Join`](https://pkg.go.dev/path/filepath#Join) in stdlib.

If you are joining paths in a pipeline, you almost assuredly want
[](#fn_path_os_ppj) or [](#fn_path_os_pspj) instead unless you are
explicitly **appending** a pipeline result to a path.

    {{- osPathJoin "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- osPathJoin "/" "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- osPathJoin "C:\\" "a" "b" "c" }}
    {{- osPathJoin "C:" "a" "b" "c" }}

[`os.PathSeparator`](https://pkg.go.dev/os#PathSeparator) for this OS.

    {{- osPathSep }}

renders as:

<colgroup>
<col style="width: 33%" />

## Strings

### `extIndent`

`extIndent` allows for a MUCH more flexible indenter than the `sprig`
`indent` function.

It works with both Windows (`\r\n`) and POSIX (`\n`) linebreaks.

If `<indentString>` is set to `\n` and `<levels>` is always set to `1`,
this function can even be used to doubelspace text!

It has quite a few arguments, however:

    {{ extIndent <levels> <skipFirst> <skipEmpty> <skipWhitespace> <indentString> <input> }}

Where:

-   `<levels>`: The level of indentation for the text. If less than or
    equal to `0`, `extIndent` just returns `<input>` as-is and NO-OPs
    otherwise.

-   `<skipFirst>`: If true, skip indenting the first line. This is
    particularly handy if you like to visually align your function calls
    in your templates.

-   `<skipEmpty>`: If true, do not add an indent to **empty** lines
    (where an "empty line" means "only has a linebreak").

-   `<skipWhitespace>`: If true, do not add an indent to lines that
    **only** consist of whitespace (spaces, tabs, etc.) and a linebreak.

-   `<indentString>`: The string to use as the "indent character". This
    can be any string, such as `" "`, `"\t"`, `"."`, `"|"`, `"=="` etc.

-   `<input>`: The text to be indented. Because it is the last argument,
    `extIndent` works with pipelined text as well.

## Debugging

### `dump`

The `dump` function calls [the `Sdump`
function](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew#Sdump) from
[`go-spew`](https://github.com/davecgh/go-spew)
([`github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/davecgh/go-spew/spew))
for whatever object(s) is/are passed to it.
