Overview

Package channel provides helpers for easier work with channels.

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"dexm.lol/channel"
)

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.TODO())
	defer cancel()

	type processInput struct {
		message           string
		shouldFailProcess bool
		shouldFailConsume bool
	}

	type processOutput struct {
		message           string
		shouldFailConsume bool
	}

	chIn := make(chan processInput, 3)
	chIn <- processInput{message: "message 1", shouldFailProcess: false, shouldFailConsume: false}
	chIn <- processInput{message: "message 2", shouldFailProcess: false, shouldFailConsume: true}
	chIn <- processInput{message: "message 3", shouldFailProcess: true, shouldFailConsume: true}
	close(chIn)

	chProcessRes, chProcessErr := channel.Process(ctx, 2, chIn, func(ctx context.Context, in processInput) (processOutput, error) {
		if in.shouldFailProcess {
			return processOutput{}, fmt.Errorf("error processing message: %s", in.message)
		}

		res := processOutput{
			message:           fmt.Sprintf("processed message: %s", in.message),
			shouldFailConsume: in.shouldFailConsume,
		}
		return res, nil
	})

	chConsumeErr := channel.Consume(ctx, 2, chProcessRes, func(ctx context.Context, in processOutput) error {
		if in.shouldFailConsume {
			return fmt.Errorf("error consuming message: %s", in.message)
		}

		fmt.Println("Consumed message:", in.message)
		return nil
	})

	chErr := channel.Merge(ctx, chProcessErr, chConsumeErr)

	for err := range chErr {
		fmt.Println("Error received:", err.Error())
	}

}

Output:
Consumed message: processed message: message 1
Error received: error consuming message: processed message: message 2
Error received: error processing message: message 3

Functions

func Consume

func Consume[T any](
	ctx context.Context,
	concurrency int,
	channel <-chan T,
	f func(context.Context, T) error,
) <-chan error

Consume channel concurrently. Concurrency must be greater than 0, but it makes no sense to have it less than 2. You must close input channel for error channel to be closed.

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"dexm.lol/channel"
)

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.TODO())
	defer cancel()

	type input struct {
		message    string
		shouldFail bool
	}

	chIn := make(chan input, 2)
	chIn <- input{message: "message 1", shouldFail: false}
	chIn <- input{message: "message 2", shouldFail: true}
	close(chIn)

	chErr := channel.Consume(ctx, 2, chIn, func(ctx context.Context, in input) error {
		if in.shouldFail {
			return fmt.Errorf("error consuming message: %s", in.message)
		}

		fmt.Println("Consumed message:", in.message)
		return nil
	})

	for err := range chErr {
		fmt.Println("Error received:", err.Error())
	}

}

Output:
Consumed message: message 1
Error received: error consuming message: message 2

func Merge

func Merge[T any](ctx context.Context, channels ...<-chan T) <-chan T

Merge multiple channels into a single one.

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"dexm.lol/channel"
)

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.TODO())
	defer cancel()

	ch1 := make(chan string, 2)
	ch1 <- "message 1"
	ch1 <- "message 2"
	close(ch1)

	ch2 := make(chan string, 2)
	ch2 <- "message 3"
	ch2 <- "message 4"
	close(ch2)

	ch3 := channel.Merge(ctx, ch1, ch2)

	for message := range ch3 {
		fmt.Println("Received message:", message)
	}

}

Output:
Received message: message 1
Received message: message 2
Received message: message 3
Received message: message 4

func Process

func Process[T, R any](
	ctx context.Context,
	concurrency int,
	channel <-chan T,
	f func(context.Context, T) (R, error),
) (<-chan R, <-chan error)

Process channel concurrently. Concurrency must be greater than 0, but it makes no sense to have it less than 2. You must close input channel for output and error channels to be closed.

Example

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"dexm.lol/channel"
)

func main() {
	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.TODO())
	defer cancel()

	type input struct {
		message    string
		shouldFail bool
	}

	chIn := make(chan input, 2)
	chIn <- input{message: "message 1", shouldFail: false}
	chIn <- input{message: "message 2", shouldFail: true}
	close(chIn)

	chRes, chErr := channel.Process(ctx, 2, chIn, func(ctx context.Context, in input) (string, error) {
		if in.shouldFail {
			return "", fmt.Errorf("error processing message: %s", in.message)
		}
		return fmt.Sprintf("processed message: %s", in.message), nil
	})

	res := <-chRes
	fmt.Println("Result received:", res)

	err := <-chErr
	fmt.Println("Error received:", err.Error())

}

Output:
Result received: processed message: message 1
Error received: error processing message: message 2
