Types ¶

type Group ¶

type Group struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Group represents a class of work and forms a namespace in which units of work can be executed with duplicate suppression.

{
	g := new(Group)

	block := make(chan struct{})
	res1c := g.DoChan("key", func() (interface{}, error) {
		<-block
		return "func 1", nil
	})
	res2c := g.DoChan("key", func() (interface{}, error) {
		<-block
		return "func 2", nil
	})
	close(block)

	res1 := <-res1c
	res2 := <-res2c

	// Results are shared by functions executed with duplicate keys.
	fmt.Println("Shared:", res2.Shared)
	// Only the first function is executed: it is registered and started with "key",
	// and doesn't complete before the second function is registered with a duplicate key.
	fmt.Println("Equal results:", res1.Val.(string) == res2.Val.(string))
	fmt.Println("Result:", res1.Val)

	// Output:
	// Shared: true
	// Equal results: true
	// Result: func 1
}

Shared: true
Equal results: true
Result: func 1

func (*Group) Do ¶

func (g *Group) Do(key string, fn func() (interface{}, error)) (v interface{}, err error, shared bool)

Do executes and returns the results of the given function, making sure that only one execution is in-flight for a given key at a time. If a duplicate comes in, the duplicate caller waits for the original to complete and receives the same results. The return value shared indicates whether v was given to multiple callers.

func (*Group) DoChan ¶

func (g *Group) DoChan(key string, fn func() (interface{}, error)) <-chan Result

DoChan is like Do but returns a channel that will receive the results when they are ready.

The returned channel will not be closed.

func (*Group) Forget ¶

func (g *Group) Forget(key string)

Forget tells the singleflight to forget about a key. Future calls to Do for this key will call the function rather than waiting for an earlier call to complete.

type Result ¶

type Result struct {
	Val    interface{}
	Err    error
	Shared bool
}

Result holds the results of Do, so they can be passed on a channel.
