mutexlight is a zero-dependencies minimal mutex library. Mutexes are used to obtain exclusive locks to certain resources which are accessed asynchronously.
It runs inside any webbrowser or node environment that supports promises.
The following sample code should speak for itself:
const mutexlight = require("mutexlight");
const mutex = new mutexlight();
async function runme() {
const release = await mutex.acquire(); // Acquire mutex lock
// Do some stuff
release(); // Release mutex lock
}
runme();
Exposed API-list:
new mutexlight()
this.acquire(tryonly)
trylock
is true, the promise will resolve to zero immediately if the
mutex lock has already been acquired.Card-carrying member of the zerodeps
movement.
