Ordo - Redis distributed lock system

Ordo - is a latin word Queue, that's what this library looks like. Concurrent access!

Installation

Use npm to install:

npm install --save ordo

Usage

For basic example try to look at /examples directory.

Defaults

• TTL - 10 seconds
• Timeout - 10 seconds
• Delay - 25 Ms

Basic

const Ordo = require('ordo');

const lock = new Ordo();

lock
.lock('user')
.then(() => {
	console.log('Obtained lock #1');

	setTimeout(() => {
		lock
		.release('user')
		.then(() => {
			console.log('Released lock #1');
		});
	}, 1000);
});

lock
.lock('user')
.then(() => {
	console.log('Obtained lock #2');

	return lock.release('user');
})
.then(() => {
	console.log('Released lock #2');
});

Callback/Promise style

const Ordo = require('ordo');
const lock = new Ordo();

// You can use this library in Promise-way
lock.lock('user#1').then(info => {
    console.log(info);
});

// You can use library in callback-way style
lock.lock('user#1', (err, info) => {
    console.log(info);
});

Options

You also can use options to have some client customizations:

• port - Redis port (Default: 6379)
• host - Redis host (Default: localhost)
• client - Custom Redis client (You should use redis package for it)
• password - Auth password
• database - Redis database
• prefix - Custom prefix (Default: ordo:lock:)

Also you can use redis-uri to connect in e.g.:

const Ordo = require('ordo');

const lock = new Ordo('redis://locahost:6379');

TTL/Timeout

TTL - Time lock will live in Redis
Timeout - When trying to set lock library reach this timeout Exception will be thrown Delay - Default delay between lock attempts

You can customize lock acquire with ttl, timeout and delay options:

const Ordo = require('Ordo');

const lock = new Ordo();
// This lock will have TTL 1 second and will try to be acquired in 1.5 second
// with a 500 ms delay between attempts .
lock.lock('user#1', {ttl: 1, timeout: 1.5, delay: 500}).then(info => {
    console.log(info.attempts); // Attempts to acquire lock
    console.log(info.elapsed); // Elapsed time in MS to acquire lock
});

Errors/Exceptions

There is three type of errors can be thrown by this library:

• RedisError - this error thrown on every redis error.
• AcquireError - this error thrown when we failed to acquire lock in requested timeout
• ReleaseError - this error thrown when we try to release unknown/expired lock

Debugging

For debugging reasons Ordo uses debug library. To enable debugging just use DEBUG env variable with value: ordo, in e.g.:

DEBUG=ordo node index.js
