Tideland Go Wait v0.2.0

Development

The package Tideland Go Wait reached v0.2.0 due to a new added feature. It now contains the type Throttle to provide a limited processing of events per second, e.g. for web handlers. The events are simple closures or functions with a given signature. The limit and a burst size for the maximum number of events during one call are defined at throttle creation.

Example

A throttled wrapper of a http.Handler.

type ThrottledHandler struct {
    throttle *wait.Throttle
    handler  http.Handler
}

func NewThrottledHandler(limit wait.Limit, handler http.Handler) http.Handler {
    return &ThrottledHandler{
        throttle: wait.NewThrottle(limit, 1),
        handler:  handler,
    }
}

func (h *ThrottledHandler) ServeHTTP(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
    evt := func() error {
        h.ServeHTTP(w, r)
        return nil
    }
    h.throttle.Process(context.Background(), evt)
}

The documentation still can be found at pkg.go.dev, the project sources at GitHub. Enjoy it.
