Usage

An example scenario of using the Mutex library:

const {Mutex} = require('param-mutex')
const mutex = new Mutex('EXAMPLE_CHANNEL')

const decreaseAmountFromWallet = async (userId, amount) => {
    const { release } = await mutex.lock([userId], ['userId']);

    try {
        const walletTotal = await getWallet(userId);

        if (walletTotal >= amount) {
            await updateWallet(userId, -1 * amount);
        } else {
            throw new Error("Wallet amount is not enough");
        }

        release();

        return 1;
    } catch (e) {
        release();
        return 0;
    }
}
