|
run.Group is a universal mechanism to manage goroutine lifecycles.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Create a zero-value run.Group, and then add actors to it. Actors are defined as
|
||
|
a pair of functions: an **execute** function, which should run synchronously;
|
||
|
and an **interrupt** function, which, when invoked, should cause the execute
|
||
|
function to return. Finally, invoke Run, which concurrently runs all of the
|
||
|
actors, waits until the first actor exits, invokes the interrupt functions, and
|
||
|
finally returns control to the caller only once all actors have returned. This
|
||
|
general-purpose API allows callers to model pretty much any runnable task, and
|
||
|
achieve well-defined lifecycle semantics for the group.
|
||
|
|
||
|
run.Group was written to manage component lifecycles in func main for
|
||
|
[OK Log](https://github.com/oklog/oklog).
|
||
|
But it's useful in any circumstance where you need to orchestrate multiple
|
||
|
goroutines as a unit whole.

## Examples
|
||
|
|
||
|
### context.Context
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
|
||
|
g.Add(func() error {
|
||
|
return myProcess(ctx, ...)
|
||
|
}, func(error) {
|
||
|
cancel()
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### net.Listener
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
ln, _ := net.Listen("tcp", ":8080")
|
||
|
g.Add(func() error {
|
||
|
return http.Serve(ln, nil)
|
||
|
}, func(error) {
|
||
|
ln.Close()
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
### io.ReadCloser
|
||
|
|
||
|
```go
|
||
|
var conn io.ReadCloser = ...
|
||
|
g.Add(func() error {
|
||
|
s := bufio.NewScanner(conn)
|
||
|
for s.Scan() {
|
||
|
println(s.Text())
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
return s.Err()
|
||
|
}, func(error) {
|
||
|
conn.Close()
|
||
|
})
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Comparisons
|
||
|
|
||
|
Package run is somewhat similar to package
|
||
|
[errgroup](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sync/errgroup),
|
||
|
except it doesn't require actor goroutines to understand context semantics.
|
||
|
|
||
|
It's somewhat similar to package
|
||
|
[tomb.v1](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/tomb.v1) or
|
||
|
[tomb.v2](https://godoc.org/gopkg.in/tomb.v2),
|
||
|
except it has a much smaller API surface, delegating e.g. staged shutdown of
|
||
|
goroutines to the caller.
