Web Locks API
npm install web-locksWeb Locks API
implementation for Node.js based onworker_threads,Atomics,SharedArrayBuffer,
asynchronous functions,
and queue>).
See specification: wicg.github.io/web-locks/
and documentation: developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Lock
This implementation is a part of Metarhia
technology stack, needed for the first pilot project of Node.js application
server based on parallel programming and workload micro-isolation. Web Locks
API is intended to be merged into Node.js in future.
- Simplest parallel programming primitive to solve a problem of data races and
race conditions.
- Node.js and worker_threads
support.
- Different optimized implementations for certain cases: single-threaded
asynchronous locks, multi-threaded locks with a single unifyed API.
``bash`
$ npm install web-locks
`js``
await locks.request('Resource name', async (lock) => {
// use named resource and release it after return
});
