Installation
go get github.com/jimjibone/queue
Queue Usage
Queue is a channel-based FIFO queue. Similar to a Go channel, items can be pushed to the back of the Queue and then popped off the front by listening on the Pop channel. This structure differs from channels in that its buffer is effectively endless.
q := queue.New()
defer q.Close()
q.Push("item")
out := <-q.Pop()
fmt.Printf("received: %v\n", out)
Pub-Sub Usage
Pub is a channel-based broadcast FIFO queue. Built on top of Queue, the Pub sends published messages to all active Subs created via the NewSub method.
pub := queue.NewPub()
defer pub.Close()
sub1 := pub.NewSub()
sub2 := pub.NewSub()
defer sub1.Close()
defer sub2.Close()
pub.Pub("item")
out1 := <-sub1.Sub()
fmt.Printf("sub1 received: %v\n", out1)
out2 := <-sub2.Sub()
fmt.Printf("sub2 received: %v\n", out2)
