Package Exports

node-redis-warlock

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (node-redis-warlock) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

warlock

Battle-hardened distributed locking using redis.

Usage

var Warlock = require('node-redis-warlock');
var redis = require('redis');

// Establish a redis client and pass it to warlock
var redis = redis.createClient();
var warlock = Warlock(redis);

// Set a lock
var key = 'test-lock';
var ttl = 10000;

warlock.lock(key, ttl, function(err, unlock){
  if (err) {
    // Something went wrong and we weren't able to set a lock
    return;
  }

  if (typeof unlock === 'function') {
    // If the lock is set successfully by this process, an unlock function is passed to our callback.
    // Do the work that required lock protection, and then unlock() when finished...
    //
    // do stuff...
    //
    unlock();
  } else {
    // Otherwise, the lock was not established by us so we must decide what to do
    // Perhaps wait a bit & retry...
  }
});
