chip

A pure gleam process registry that plays along types and gleam OTP abstractions. Will automatically delist dead processes.

Example

import gleam/erlang/process
import chip

// Names can be built out of any primitive or even types.
type Name {
  A
  B
}

// We can start the registry and register a new subject 
let assert Ok(registry) = chip.start()
chip.register(registry, A, process.new_subject())

// If we lose scope of our processes, just look it up in the registry!
let assert Ok(subject) = chip.find(registry, A)
let assert Error(chip.NotFound) = chip.find(registry, B)

Feature-wise its still very basic but planning to integrate helpers for supervisors that restar processes and a way to lookup name groups for dynamic dispatch.

Installation
