This library implements the Redis-based distributed lock manager algorithm [described in this Redis article](http://redis.io/topics/distlock). To create a lock manager: Locks can be provided using an array of server tuples made up of the server name (required), connection port (optional), and connection timeout (optional), or by using already-connected Redis objects, ``` $server = new \Redis; $server->connect('127.0.0.1'); $servers = [ ['127.0.0.1', 6379, 0.01], ['127.0.0.1'], $server, ]; $redLock = new RedLock($servers); ``` To acquire a lock: ``` $lock = $redLock->lock('my_resource_name', 1000); ``` Where the resource name is an unique identifier of what you are trying to lock and 1000 is the number of milliseconds for the validity time. The returned value is `false` if the lock was not acquired (you may try again), otherwise an array representing the lock is returned, having three keys: ``` Array ( [validity] => 9897.3020019531 [resource] => my_resource_name [token] => 53771bfa1e775 ) ``` - validity, an integer representing the number of milliseconds the lock will be valid. - resource, the name of the locked resource as specified by the user. - token, a random token value which is used to safe reclaim the lock. To release a lock: ``` $redLock->unlock($lock) ``` It is possible to setup the number of retries (by default 3) and the retry delay (by default 200 milliseconds) used to acquire the lock. The retry delay is actually chosen at random between `$retryDelay / 2` milliseconds and the specified `$retryDelay` value. **Disclaimer**: As stated in the original antirez's version, this code implements an algorithm which is currently a proposal, it was not formally analyzed. Make sure to understand how it works before using it in your production environments. ### Health Score 40 — FairBetter than 88% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity43 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community20 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 62.1% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
