|
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 blocks until the first actor
|
|
returns. 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.
