usage

Usage

In the most typical use of Poolex, you only need to start pool of workers as a child of your application.

children = [
  Poolex.child_spec(
    pool_id: :worker_pool,
    worker_module: SomeWorker,
    workers_count: 5
  )
]

Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)

Then you can execute any code on the workers with run/3:

Poolex.run(:worker_pool, &(is_pid?(&1)), timeout: 1_000)
{:ok, true}

Functions

Returns a specification to start this module under a supervisor.

Returns detailed information about started pool.

Returns current state of started pool.

Same as run!/3 but handles runtime_errors.

The main function for working with the pool.

Starts a Poolex process without links (outside of a supervision tree).

Starts a Poolex process linked to the current process.

Callers are processes that have requested to get a worker.

Examples

children = [

  # or in another way
  {Poolex, [pool_id: :worker_pool_2, worker_module: SomeOtherWorker, workers_count: 5]}
]

Supervisor.start_link(children, strategy: :one_for_one)
@spec get_debug_info(pool_id()) :: Poolex.DebugInfo.t()

Returns detailed information about started pool.

Primarily needed to help with debugging. Avoid using this function in production.

View Source
@spec run(pool_id(), (worker :: pid() -> any()), [run_option()]) ::
  {:ok, any()} | :all_workers_are_busy | {:runtime_error, any()}

Same as run!/3 but handles runtime_errors.

Returns:

  • {:runtime_error, reason} on errors.
  • :all_workers_are_busy if no free worker was found before the timeout.

See run!/3 for more information.

examples

Examples

iex> Poolex.start_link(pool_id: :some_pool, worker_module: Agent, worker_args: [fn -> 5 end], workers_count: 1)
iex> Poolex.run(:some_pool, fn _pid -> raise RuntimeError end)

run!(pool_id, fun, options \\ [])

View Source
@spec run!(pool_id(), (worker :: pid() -> any()), [run_option()]) :: any()

The main function for working with the pool.

When executed, an attempt is made to obtain a worker with the specified timeout (5 seconds by default). In case of successful execution of the passed function, the result will be returned, otherwise an error will be raised.

examples

Examples

iex> Poolex.start_link(pool_id: :some_pool, worker_module: Agent, worker_args: [fn -> 5 end], workers_count: 1)
iex> Poolex.run!(:some_pool, fn pid -> Agent.get(pid, &(&1)) end)
5
@spec start([poolex_option()]) :: GenServer.on_start()

See start_link/1 for more information.

examples

Examples

iex> Poolex.start(pool_id: :my_pool, worker_module: Agent, worker_args: [fn -> 0 end], workers_count: 5)

iex> worker_module
Agent
@spec start_link([poolex_option()]) :: GenServer.on_start()

Starts a Poolex process linked to the current process.

This is often used to start the Poolex as part of a supervision tree.

After the process is started, you can access it using the previously specified pool_id.
