Introduction to Lock-Defer

Lock-defer is an advanced utility designed to facilitate more efficient and manageable asynchronous programming in various applications. This powerful tool simplifies the way developers handle locks and defers in their code, enhancing both performance and readability. Below, we’ll explore various APIs provided by Lock-defer and include practical examples to illustrate their use.

Key APIs and Their Usage

1. deferLock

The deferLock method allows you to create deferred locks that will only execute unlocking procedures after the main logic has completed.

 // DeferLock example const lock = new Lock(); lock.deferLock(() => {
    console.log('Lock released');
});
async function fetchData() {
    await lock.acquire();
    try {
        // Perform actions
    } finally {
        lock.release();
    }
} fetchData(); 

2. acquire

The acquire method is used to gain access to a locked resource, ensuring no other processes can access it until you release it.

 const lock = new Lock();
async function fetchData() {
    await lock.acquire();
    try {
        // Safe access to resource
    } finally {
        lock.release();
    }
} fetchData(); 

3. release

The release method releases a previously acquired lock, making the resource available for other processes.

 const lock = new Lock();
async function fetchData() {
    await lock.acquire();
    try {
        // Perform actions
    } finally {
        lock.release();
    }
} fetchData(); 

Practical Application Example

Below is an example application that uses the Lock-defer library to handle simultaneous data fetching operations securely.

 // Importing Lock-defer library const LockDefer = require('lock-defer'); const fetch = require('node-fetch');
// Initialize a lock const dataLock = new LockDefer();
async function fetchData(url) {
    await dataLock.acquire();
    try {
        const response = await fetch(url);
        const data = await response.json();
        console.log(data);
    } finally {
        dataLock.release();
    }
}
// Fetch data from multiple sources concurrently Promise.all([
    fetchData('https://api.example.com/data1'),
    fetchData('https://api.example.com/data2'),
    fetchData('https://api.example.com/data3')
]).then(() => {
    console.log('All data fetched successfully');
}); 

Conclusion

Using Lock-defer can greatly simplify and secure asynchronous operations in your code. By implementing the various methods provided by Lock-defer, developers can ensure that resources are handled efficiently and safely, reducing the chances of race conditions and data corruption.
