# ABool :bulb:
[![Go Report Card](https://goreportcard.com/badge/git.internal/re)](https://goreportcard.com/report/git.internal/re)
[![GoDoc](https://godoc.org/git.internal/re?status.svg)](https://godoc.org/git.internal/re)
Atomic Boolean package for Go, optimized for performance yet simple to use.
Designed for cleaner code.
## Usage
```go
import "git.internal/re/v2"
cond := abool.New() // default to false
cond.Set() // Sets to true
cond.IsSet() // Returns true
cond.UnSet() // Sets to false
cond.IsNotSet() // Returns true
cond.SetTo(any) // Sets to whatever you want
cond.SetToIf(old, new) // Sets to `new` only if the Boolean matches the `old`, returns whether succeeded
cond.Toggle() // Flip the value of `cond`, returns the value before flipping
// embedding
type Foo struct {
cond *abool.AtomicBool // always use pointer to avoid copy
}
```
