Golang - Loop over slice in batches (run something in parallel on a sub-slice)

slice-batch-in-parallel.go

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {	
	slice := make([]int, 159)

	// Split the slice into batches of 20 items.
	batch := 20

	for i := 0; i < len(slice); i += batch {
		j := i + batch
		if j > len(slice) {
			j = len(slice)
		}
		fmt.Println(slice[i:j]) // Process the batch.
	}
	
	// Try it at https://play.golang.org/p/mgd814w8xx6
}

Works like a charm .. This saved me so much time.. Thank you

Here is a generic version:

func batchSlice[T any](in []T, size int) (out [][]T) {
	out = make([][]T, 0)

	if size == 0 {
		panic("slice batch size is 0")
	}

	for i := 0; i < len(in); i = i + size {
		j := i + size
		if j > len(in) {
			j = len(in)
		}
		out = append(out, in[i:j])
	}

	return
}
