workerpool

This package offers a simple and minimalist solution for managing concurrent job execution via a worker pool. It implements a concurrency-limiting goroutine pool, effectively constraining the concurrency of job execution.

Installation

go get github.com/aoliveti/workerpool

Usage

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"
	"log"

	"github.com/aoliveti/workerpool"
)

func main() {
	pool := workerpool.New(2)

	jobs := make(chan workerpool.Job)
	go func() {
		defer close(jobs)

		for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
			num := i
			// Define a job function
			job := func(ctx context.Context) error {
				_ = ctx
				fmt.Printf("Job number: %d done!\n", num)
				return nil
			}

			jobs <- job
		}
	}()

	if err := pool.Run(context.Background(), jobs); err != nil {
		log.Fatal("pool:", err)
	}
}

In case of an error or panic occurring within the job, the default pool halts execution and propagates the error. To disable this functionality, you need to pass the WithErrorPropagationDisabled() option to the constructor:

pool := workerpool.New(2, workerpool.WithErrorPropagationDisabled())
