Simple Lock State

@ts-dag/simple-lock-state provides a simple way to manage a shared state object with built-in locking at the key level to prevent race conditions. This package is especially useful in asynchronous environments where multiple operations might try to modify the state concurrently.

Installation

npm install @ts-dag/simple-locked-state

Usage

Import and create a locked state object:

import { createLockedState } from "@ts-dag/simple-locked-state";

// Initialize the state with an optional initial state
const state = createLockedState<{ count: number }>({ count: 0 });

API

get(key)

Asynchronously gets the value of the specified key from the state. If the key is currently locked, it waits for the lock to be released before retrieving the value.

• Parameters: key - The key of the value to get.
• Returns: A promise that resolves with the value of the specified key.

set(key, value)

Asynchronously sets the value of the specified key in the state. If the key is currently locked, it waits for the lock to be released before setting the value.

• Parameters:
  • key - The key of the value to set.
  • value - The new value to set.
• Returns: A promise that resolves with "OK" when the value has been set.

getAll()

Asynchronously retrieves all key-value pairs from the state. If any key is currently locked, it waits for the lock to be released before getting the values.

• Returns: A promise that resolves with an object containing all key-value pairs in the state.

setAll(newState)

Asynchronously sets multiple key-value pairs in the state. If any key is currently locked, it waits for the lock to be released before setting the values.

• Parameters: newState - An object containing the key-value pairs to set.
• Returns: A promise that resolves with "OK" when all values have been set.

Example

Here's a quick example of how to use createLockedState:

async function updateCount() {
  await state.set("count", (await state.get("count")) + 1);
  console.log(await state.getAll());
}

updateCount();
updateCount();
