atomicfn v0.0.4

Installation

  npm install atomicfn --save

Usage

atomic is just a function that takes your function plus some other parameters and returns another function that is the atomic version of it.

As long as your function implements the callback methodology

Example Usage

The example below is a taking a setting the global var val atomically regardless of the async nature of it. The non atomic version will probably set the val to 0 at the end. The atomic version below sets the intended value 10 at the end.

// Require the atomic library
const atomic = require('atomicfn').atomic;

const limit = 10
var val = 0;

// Your function
const setVal = (timeout, v, cb) => {
	setTimeout(() => {
		val = v
		cb(null, `Setting Executed at ${timeout}`)
	}, timeout);
}

/* 
 * This is how you make your function atomic
 * Parameters:
 * yourFunction:(required)
 * theLockName(required), 
 * theTimeout(optional default=60000)
 * theCheckInterval(optional default=50) 
 */
const setValAtomic = atomic(setVal, 'general');

for (var i = 1; i <= limit; i++) {
	setValAtomic(limit - i, i, (err, res) => console.log(`${res} current value ${val}`))
}
