## About

concurrency-limiter allows you to limit the number of goroutines accessing a resource with support for
timeouts , dynamic priority of goroutines and context cancellation of goroutines.

### Installation

To install concurrency-limiter:

```
go get github.com/vivek-ng/concurrency-limiter
```

Then import concurrency-limiter to use it

```go
import(
github.com/vivek-ng/concurrency-limiter/limiter
)

nl := limiter.New(3)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()

```

## Usage

Below are some examples of using this library. To run real examples , please check the examples folder.

### Limiter

```go
import(
github.com/vivek-ng/concurrency-limiter/limiter
)

func main() {
nl := limiter.New(3)

var wg sync.WaitGroup
wg.Add(15)

for i := 0; i < 15; i++ {
go func(index int) {
defer wg.Done()
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx)
// in real life , this can be DB operations , message publish to queue ........
fmt.Println("executing action...: ", "index: ", index, "current number of goroutines: ", nl.Count())
nl.Finish()
}(i)
}
wg.Wait()
}
```

### Priority Limiter

```go
import(
github.com/vivek-ng/concurrency-limiter/priority
)

func main() {
pr := priority.NewLimiter(1)
var wg sync.WaitGroup
wg.Add(15)
for i := 0; i < 15; i++ {
go func(index int) {
defer wg.Done()
ctx := context.Background()
if index%2 == 1 {
pr.Wait(ctx, priority.High)
} else {
pr.Wait(ctx, priority.Low)
}
// in real life , this can be DB operations , message publish to queue ........
fmt.Println("executing action...: ", "index: ", index, "current number of goroutines: ", pr.Count())
pr.Finish()
}(i)
}
wg.Wait()
}
```

## Examples

### Limiter

```go
nl := limiter.New(3)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()
```
In the above example , there can be a maximum of 3 goroutines accessing a resource concurrently. The other goroutines are added to the waiting list and are removed and given a
chance to access the resource in the FIFO order. If the context is cancelled , the goroutine is removed from the waitlist.

### Limiter with Timeout

```go
nl := limiter.New(3,
WithTimeout(10),
)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()
```
In the above example , the goroutines will wait for a maximum of 10 milliseconds. Goroutines will be removed from the waitlist after 10 ms even if the
number of concurrent goroutines is greater than the limit specified.

### Priority Limiter

```go
nl := priority.NewLimiter(3)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx , priority.High)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()
```

In Priority Limiter , goroutines with higher priority will be given preference to be removed from the waitlist. For instance in the above example , the goroutine will be
given the maximum preference because it is of high priority. In the case of tie between the priorities , the goroutines will be removed from the waitlist in the FIFO order.

### Priority Limiter with Dynamic priority

```go
nl := priority.NewLimiter(3,
WithDynamicPriority(5),
)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx , priority.Low)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()
```
In Dynamic Priority Limiter , the goroutines with lower priority will get their priority increased periodically by the time period specified. For instance in the above example , the goroutine will get it's priority increased every 5 ms. This will ensure that goroutines with lower priority do not suffer from starvation. It's highly recommended to use Dynamic Priority Limiter to avoid starving low priority goroutines.

### Priority Limiter with Timeout

```go
nl := priority.NewLimiter(3,
WithTimeout(30),
WithDynamicPriority(5),
)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Wait(ctx , priority.Low)
// Perform actions .........
nl.Finish()
```
This is similar to the timeouts in the normal limiter. In the above example , goroutines will wait a maximum of 30 milliseconds. The low priority goroutines will get their
priority increased every 5 ms.

### Runnable Function

```go
nl := priority.NewLimiter(3)
ctx := context.Background()
nl.Run(ctx , priority.Low , func()error {
return sendMetrics()
})
```

Runnable function will allow you to wrap your function and execute them with concurrency limit. This function is a wrapper on top of the Wait() and Finish() functions.
