Getting_Started

Prerequisites

This project requires Node.js 10 or later.

Install

Install all required packages with

npm i zk-distributed-lock

Now compile the typescript code:

npm run build

Usage

Create an instance of the DistributedLock class

  this.lock = new DistributedLock(zkConnectString, this.lockPath);

Register the events handler if you want.

Acquire and release the lock the Lock,

    await this.lock.acquireLock( (error) => {
      if (error) {
        console.error('Failed to acquire lock:', error);
        return;
      }

      console.log('Lock acquired, doing some work...');
      this.response = "Lock Acquired";
      // Do some work here...

      this.lock.releaseLock(this.lockPath, (error) => {
        if (error) {
          console.error('Failed to release lock:', error);
          return 'Failed to release lock:';
        } else {
          console.log('Lock released');
          this.response = "Lock released";

          return 'task done';
        }
      });
      return 'task done';
    });

Optional parameter

 const optionsRetry:DistributedLockOptions = {
    logger: logger, // your custom logger
    retryCount: 2, // number of times it should retry. put  0 is default
    retryAfter: 2000 , // time in miliseconds between retries.  0 is default
  };

After this even if multiple Instances of your applications are running still only one resource will be able to acquire the lock.

Testing

npm run test:exit

Unit Tests

Unit tests are using

• Mocha as framework
• chai as assertion library
• nyc for test coverage detection.

In order to run just the mocha tests, use

npm run test

In order both run unit tests and test coverage detection, use:

npm run test:ci

Both command will automatically build the project before testing. Unit test results are reported by mochawesome in html format and stored in the root folder under /mochawesome-report. The coverage report can be found in html format in /coverage

Note : You need to have zookeeper running. Here's a docker image this i use

docker run --name my-zookeeper -p 2182:2181 -d zookeeper
