Description:

async locks

async-locks #

Effortlessly synchronize asynchronous operations in your Dart applications
This package provides a set of intuitive primitives inspired by Python's established concurrency features, making it easy to manage shared resources and prevent race conditions in asynchronous code.
Key features:

Familiar concepts: Lock, Event, and Semaphore for a smooth transition from Python's concurrency model.
Optimized for Dart: Efficient implementation tailored for Dart's asynchronous programming capabilities.
Clear and concise documentation: Quickly understand how to use each primitive effectively.

Installation:
Add async_locks as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
async_locks: ^latest_version
copied to clipboard
Sample usage:
import "dart:io";
import "package:async_locks/async_locks.dart";

final lock = Lock();

Future<void> randomAsyncFunction() async {
final result = await lock.run(() async => await accessSharedState());
}
copied to clipboard
Synchronization primitives:

Lock: A mutex lock that guarantees exclusive access to a shared state, preventing race conditions.
Event: An object used to notify multiple futures that a specific event has occurred.
Semaphore: A synchronization primitive that allows a limited number of futures to acquire it concurrently.

Inspired by Python's asyncio:
While the implementation details differ, async_locks offers a familiar approach for developers coming from a Python background. See the Python documentation for reference: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-sync.html
