Lock on asynchronous code

Lock on asynchronous code for concurrency control

• Q supported
• Multiple keys lock supported
• Domain reentrant supported
• Timeout supported
• Pending task limit supported
• 100% code coverage

Get Started

var AsyncLock = require('async-lock');
var lock = new AsyncLock();

/**
 * @param {String|Array} key 	resource key or keys to lock
 * @param {function} fn 	execute function
 * @param {function} cb 	(optional) callback function, otherwise will return a promise
 * @param {Object} opts 	(optional) options
 */
lock.acquire(key, function(done){
    // async work
    done(err, ret);
}, function(err, ret){
    // lock released
}, opts);

// Promise mode
lock.acquire(key, function(){
    // return value or promise
}, opts).then(function(){
    // lock released
});

Error Handling

// Callback mode
lock.acquire(key, function(done){
    done(new Error('error'));
}, function(err, ret){
    console.log(err.message) // output: error
});

// Promise mode
lock.acquire(key, function(){
    throw new Error('error');
}).catch(function(err){
    console.log(err.message) // output: error
});

Acquire multiple keys

lock.acquire([key1, key2], fn, cb);

Domain reentrant lock

Lock is reentrant in the same domain

var domain = require('domain');
var lock = new AsyncLock({domainReentrant : true});

var d = domain.create();
d.run(function(){
    lock.acquire('key', function(){
        //Enter lock
        return lock.acquire('key', function(){
            //Enter same lock twice
        });
    });
});

Options

// Specify timeout
var lock = new AsyncLock({timeout : 5000});
lock.acquire(key, fn, cb, function(err, ret){
    // timed out error will be returned here if lock not acquired in given time
});

// Set max pending tasks
var lock = new AsyncLock({maxPending : 1000});
lock.acquire(key, fn, cb, function(err, ret){
    // Handle too much pending error
})

// Whether there is any running or pending async function
lock.isBusy();

// Use your own promise
var lock = new AsyncLock({Promise : require('bluebird')});
