Why? ---- [](#why) When you have routines that take a longer time than usual to run, you may not want other processes attempting to run it. To prevent this you can acquire what is referred to as a lock or semaphore. This prevents problems of [contention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_contention). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require hollyit/laravel-lock ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` $lock = LaravelLock::make('test-lock') if ($lock->acquire()) { // Perform my long running task $lock->release(); } else { // Something is already running on this process so let's not do anything. } ``` ### Currently supported drivers [](#currently-supported-drivers) Drivers can be configured in config/lock.php. View that file for additional details. To publish the configuration ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hollyit\LaravelLock\LaravelLockServiceProvider" --tag="config" ``` **File Drive:** *(This is a wrapper of the [Symfony FlockStore](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/lock.html#flockstore))* No additional setup required. By default this will use the system's temporary directory. You may override this in config or environment. Please see config/lock.php for details. With the exception of Database, drivers are very simple wrappers. If you would like to add additional drivers, please consider a PR. **Database driver:** *(This is a modification of the [PdoStore](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/lock.html#lock-store-pdo), modified to use Laravel's database layer)* This will use your default database connection. Before using this driver you must publish and migrate your database. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Hollyit\LaravelLock\LaravelLockServiceProvider" --tag="migraions" ``` If you wish to use a custom table name, then please modify your config/lock.php file prior to migrating. **Redis:** Redis isn't currently supported, but it will in a future release. **Custom drivers:** Other [stores](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/lock.html#available-stores) from the Symfony/lock package aren't currently supported. Migrating them over should be rather simple if you would like to (and please submit a PR). You may also define custom drivers outside of what the original symfony/lock package offers. Under your config/lock.php configuration file, simple define a 'class' property to point to the class of the new driver. Drivers must implement the \\Hollyit\\LaravelLock\\Contracts\\LockDriver contract. ### Additional details [](#additional-details) For additional details and features, please refer to the Symfony Lock [documentation](https://symfony.com/doc/current/components/lock.html). ### Testing [](#testing) ***NOTE**: Testing is extremely limited at this time given the need for this package on a client project. If you are willing to expand on test coverage, please do so and submit a PR.* ``` composer test ``` Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) This package was quickly developed due to the need of a current client project. If you would like to add more drivers, features or tests, then your help will be greatly welcomed. Please see [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for details. ### Security [](#security) If you discover any security related issues, please email instead of using the issue tracker.
