Minimum lock

This package provides a bare minimum tool for "locking" resources.

How to use it?

Installation

You can install the library into your project via npm:

``sh
npm install minimum-lock
`
This package does not have any dependencies.

Usage

Again, this tool is bare minimum, it does not provide any fancy interface, just a class to create an object which can be locked and released.

`ts
import { Lock } from 'minimum-lock';

async function doSomethingWithLock(lock) {
const release = await lock.acquire();

doSomethingMustBeSequential();

release();
}

async function doSomething() {
...

const lock = new Lock();

doSomethingWithLock(lock);
doSomethingWithLock(lock);
}
`

⚠️ The acquire method returns a release callback, if you forget to call this release` callback, the lock is locked forever.
