throat
Throttle the parallelism of an asynchronous, promise returning, function / functions. This has special utility when you set the concurrency to 1
. That way you get a mutually exclusive lock.
Installation
npm install throat
API
throat(concurrency)
This returns a function that acts a bit like a lock (exactly as a lock if concurrency is 1).
Example, only 2 of the following functions will execute at any one time:
const throat = require('throat')(2);
// alternatively provide your own promise implementation
const throat = require('throat')(require('promise'))(2);
const promise = Promise.resolve();
const resA = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
const resB = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
const resC = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
const resD = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
const resE = throat(() => /* async stuff... */ promise);
throat(concurrency, worker)
This returns a function that is an exact copy of worker
except that it will only execute up to concurrency
times in parallel before further requests are queued:
const throat = require('throat');
// alternatively provide your own promise implementation
const throat = require('throat')(require('promise'));
const input = ['fileA.txt', 'fileB.txt', 'fileC.txt', 'fileD.txt'];
const data = Promise.all(input.map(throat(2, fileName => readFile(fileName))));
Only 2 files will be read at a time, sometimes limiting parallelism in this way can improve scalability.
