# goconcurrentqueue - Concurrent safe queues
The package goconcurrentqueue offers a public interface Queue with methods for a [queue](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queue_(abstract_data_type)).
It comes with multiple Queue's concurrent-safe implementations, meaning they could be used concurrently by multiple goroutines without adding race conditions.

## Installation

Execute
```bash
go get github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue
```

This package is compatible with all golang versions >= 1.7.x

## Classes diagram
![goconcurrentqueue class diagram](web/class-diagram.svg "goconcurrentqueue class diagram")

## Queues

- First In First Out (FIFO)
- [FIFO](#fifo)
- [FixedFIFO](#fixedfifo)
- [Benchmarks FixedFIFO vs FIFO](#benchmarks-fixedfifo-vs-fifo)

### FIFO

**FIFO**: concurrent-safe auto expandable queue.

#### pros
- It is possible to enqueue as many items as needed.
- Extra methods to get and remove enqueued items:
- [Get](https://godoc.org/github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue#FIFO.Get): returns an element's value and keeps the element at the queue
- [Remove](https://godoc.org/github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue#FIFO.Get): removes an element (using a given position) from the queue

#### cons
- It is slightly slower than FixedFIFO.

### FixedFIFO

**FixedFIFO**: concurrent-safe fixed capacity queue.

#### pros
- FixedFIFO is, at least, 2x faster than [FIFO](#fifo) in concurrent scenarios (multiple GR accessing the queue simultaneously).

#### cons
- It has a fixed capacity meaning that no more items than this capacity could coexist at the same time.

## Benchmarks FixedFIFO vs FIFO

The numbers for the following charts were obtained by running the benchmarks in a 2012 MacBook Pro (2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3) with golang v1.12

### Enqueue

### Dequeue

## Get started

### FIFO queue simple usage
[Live code - playground](https://play.golang.org/p/CRhg7kX0ikH)

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"

"github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue"
)

type AnyStruct struct {
Field1 string
Field2 int
}

func main() {
queue := goconcurrentqueue.NewFIFO()

queue.Enqueue("any string value")
queue.Enqueue(5)
queue.Enqueue(AnyStruct{Field1: "hello world", Field2: 15})

// will output: 3
fmt.Printf("queue's length: %v\n", queue.GetLen())

item, err := queue.Dequeue()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}

// will output "any string value"
fmt.Printf("dequeued item: %v\n", item)

// will output: 2
fmt.Printf("queue's length: %v\n", queue.GetLen())

}
```

### Wait until an element gets enqueued
[Live code - playground](https://play.golang.org/p/S7oSg3iUNhs)

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"
"time"

"github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue"
)

func main() {
var (
fifo = goconcurrentqueue.NewFIFO()
done = make(chan struct{})
)

go func() {
fmt.Println("1 - Waiting for next enqueued element")
value, _ := fifo.DequeueOrWaitForNextElement()
fmt.Printf("2 - Dequeued element: %v\n", value)

done <- struct{}{}
}()

fmt.Println("3 - Go to sleep for 3 seconds")
time.Sleep(3 * time.Second)

fmt.Println("4 - Enqueue element")
fifo.Enqueue(100)

<-done
}

```

### Wait until an element gets enqueued with timeout
[Live code - playground](https://play.golang.org/p/E3xdHcW5nJy)

```go
package main

import (
"context"
"fmt"
"time"

"github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue"
)

func main() {
var (
fifo = goconcurrentqueue.NewFIFO()
ctx, cancel = context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 3*time.Second)
)
defer cancel()

fmt.Println("1 - Waiting for next enqueued element")
_, err := fifo.DequeueOrWaitForNextElementContext(ctx)

if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("2 - Failed waiting for new element: %v\n", err)
return
}
}

```

### Dependency Inversion Principle using concurrent-safe queues

*High level modules should not depend on low level modules. Both should depend on abstractions.* Robert C. Martin

[Live code - playground](https://play.golang.org/p/3GAbyR7wrX7)

```go
package main

import (
"fmt"

"github.com/enriquebris/goconcurrentqueue"
)

func main() {
var (
queue goconcurrentqueue.Queue
dummyCondition = true
)

// decides which Queue's implementation is the best option for this scenario
if dummyCondition {
queue = goconcurrentqueue.NewFIFO()
} else {
queue = goconcurrentqueue.NewFixedFIFO(10)
}

fmt.Printf("queue's length: %v\n", queue.GetLen())
workWithQueue(queue)
fmt.Printf("queue's length: %v\n", queue.GetLen())
}

// workWithQueue uses a goconcurrentqueue.Queue to perform the work
func workWithQueue(queue goconcurrentqueue.Queue) error {
// do some work

// enqueue an item
if err := queue.Enqueue("test value"); err != nil {
return err
}

return nil
}
```

## History

### v0.7.0

- Prevents FIFO.DequeueOrWaitForNextElement to keep waiting for a waitChan while internal queues contain items

### v0.6.3

- Prevents FIFO.DequeueOrWaitForNextElement to add useless wait channels

### v0.6.2

- Prevents FIFO.DequeueOrWaitForNextElement to gets blocked when waiting for an enqueued element

### v0.6.1

### v0.6.0

- Added DequeueOrWaitForNextElementContext()

### v0.5.1

### v0.5.0

- Added DequeueOrWaitForNextElement()

### v0.4.0
