}

Compare: Node.js · Standard Go · gox

Node.js

// Typical os pattern in Node.js

Standard Go

// Use the underlying stdlib or driver directly.
// See package overview for escape hatches.

gox

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/osutil"

info, err := osutil.UserInfo()
if err != nil {
    return err
}
_ = info.Username

Example

import "github.com/sahilkhaire/gox/osutil"

info, err := osutil.UserInfo()
if err != nil {
    return err
}
_ = info.Username

Tips

Browse methods on this type in the sidebar for handler-style APIs and options structs.

Standard library alternative

gox wraps the Go standard library or a trusted dependency with Node-familiar naming. You can use the underlying library directly — see the package overview for escape hatches.
